Though it is hard to know exactly what you want to do, and many people don't figure that out until they are well into their careers, we've got to start somewhere, right? Here's a short list of websites that can help you along in your search process. Looking into some of these may help you understand what's out there and what you need to do to get there.
- workinsports.com
- jobsinsports.com
- teamworkonline.com
- sportscareers.com
- sportsbusinessjournal.com
- team and league websites (NBA.com, redsox.com)
- company/brand websites (Under Armour, Nike, Coca-Cola...)
- national governing bodies (United States Olympic Committee, USA Track & Field, etc.)
- Colleges/Universities websites
- Sports Agencies websites (Velocity, Octagon, IMG, GMR)
Browse the sites, find out who you would need to talk to within that specific organization. Do they offer internship programs (Under Armour, Nike, and Velocity do, for example). How can you apply; is there information directly on the website?
Additionally, use your peers and faculty members as resources throughout this process. There may have been 6 other students from your program who have been at an organization before you. there may be an alum that currently works there. Take advantage of the people around you - they will be able to help!
