Manager, Partnerships

How’d I land this internship?

In 2022, my wife and I moved across the country from Provo, Utah to Raleigh, North Carolina. 

I got active on LinkedIn
- started growing my network 
- posted about jobs, tagged TeamWork

Davis Filippell, President of TeamWork Online, sent me a connection request and we exchanged some messages.

1 month later, Davis flew to Charlotte for the Sports Marketing Association Conference. 

He offered to meet at 8am.

I said yes!

I woke up at 5am and drove 3 hours from Raleigh to Charlotte.

You might think I’m crazy 

But those of you that know Davis know that it was worth every minute.

He’s energetic, insightful, and motivating.

I left that meeting inspired 

And with an internship offer 😉

Marketing & Partnerships Intern

North Carolina Courage

There’s not enough sports jobs

I can’t find any…

🤦‍♂️

There’s 6,000+ jobs on TeamWork Online 

But not every job is in the
NFL 
MLB 
NBA 

Stop closing the door on opportunities.

Just because you didn’t play the sport growing up, or you don’t watch it, doesn’t mean you can’t work in it.

I never played soccer.

I worked in the NWSL in gameday operations for the NC Courage. It helped me land my job at TeamWork Online.

Because the experience built my resume.

There’s hundreds of open jobs in Minor League Baseball, in the American Hockey League, in the National Women’s Soccer League, and so many more!

It’s good to have a favorite sport.

But don’t shut down the idea of working in other sports. That just might be the path that gets you to your dream job.

This is how you break into sports.

College Dream Job

Because that’s exactly what working at BYU Football was… a dream.

BYU went 11-1 and 10-3 my last two seasons there.

Witnessed NFL talent and work ethic in Zach Wilson, Jaren Hall, and Tyler Allegier.

Learned how to win on the field and off the field in sports business.

My first summer internship during my collegiate experience, as an Email Marketing Coordinator for Bolster, helped me learn more about the marketing side of business. I created and executed an email drip campaign for the onboarding of new customers.

on the pitch: pro indoor soccer, defender

off the pitch: i've traveled the world via a size 5 soccer ball, and as my mom says, "your life is so much different than mine 🤪". my experiences are unmatched, random, unique... a beautiful portfolio of everything i've worked for. my best asset is being able to read the game and the temperature of the locker room. i want to continue advocating for women's sports, the unsung heroes (#6s, looking at you), and ideally that's through soccer or basketball. while my career has been in soccer, i grew up in indiana, so you know we had a hoop in the driveway. it will always be my first love 🏀
