Key Takeaways:
  • Class rooms and what you're learning is great, but go out and meet people
  • Through experiences you learn what you do and don't like which is so important
  • The impression and connections you make are worth more than the amount of money you're making
  • Take advantage of the opportunities that are presented to you
  • As minor as something may seem at the time, it could be what gets you an interview or your foot in the door
  • Take your responsibilities seriously regardless of what the tasks are
  • Women - don't be afraid to work in men's sports
  • Always be translational, not transactional
  • You have to take an interest in who you are speaking with
  • Let your work speak for itself - it never goes unnoticed and it will make its way back around to you
  • Your impact will get recognized whether you like it or not
  • You won't find days or weeks to have a work-life balance in sports, you'll find hours
  • It's important to set boundaries and take time for yourself so you don't burn out
  • Find a mentor who doesn't look like you
  • Love what you are doing because you're going to be spending a lot of time doing it
  • Don't get caught up in the logo on your chest, people matter
  • You're always working for something greater than yourself
  • The "we" is always greater than the "me"
  • Have the ability to figure it out
  • You can't lower your expectations because once you start accepting that, your standards for yourself will keep dropping
