Scouting and Team Ops with Jack Shaw: Watch it Here
Jack Shaw:
  • Scouting Analyst for Nashville SC

Key Takeaways:
  • Get specific - college is such a broad experience, but once you're looking for a job, it's important to get specific with your knowledge, expertise, and interests
  • Network - stay on top of it and always continue to grow your network (i.e. through LinkedIn, informational interviews, guest speaker panels, etc.)
  • Humility and hustle - go into every opportunity with no ego, do whatever you're asked, work hard at it, and approach it with enthusiasm (it will prove your value in the long run)
  • Planned luck - put yourself in the way of good things happening, you never know what door will open up for you
  • Take full advantage of any opportunity you get and go into it with two hands
  • Go somewhere where you can bring value but also an environment where you can learn
  • Come to the table with value and credibility and it will display requisite knowledge
  • Acknowledge that entry level jobs won't be your forever, but bring value in the moment and take in as much knowledge and pick as many peoples' brains as you can during your time there
  • Confidence will grow with time in any role that you're in
  • A lot of your life and job is going to skate around your organization and your boss, so choose wisely when making those decisions
  • Going to grad school is completely situational, if you worked hard and completed a lot of internships during your undergrad, it might not be a necessary path for you
  • Advice for going into scouting: you just have to really love doing it because it is a time commitment and grind
  • Advice for internships:
    • Always have a good relationship with your supervisor
    • Always be available and willing to lend a hand
    • Dance between bringing value but not becoming another thing to manage
    • Do everything that you do at a high level
    • Take pride in knowing that someone always notices your work even if it doesn't feel or seem like it
