Representation, analytics, franchise operations, sports law, leadership
Sports is the most passion-driven and relationship-dependent industry in our portfolio. Entry-level hiring is opaque and competition for every role is fierce. The students who break in are the ones with genuine insider access, and the executives who run teams, leagues, and agencies are exactly who our mentor network holds.

Athlete Representation
Agents representing athletes in contract negotiations, endorsements, and career management. The sports equivalent of the entertainment agency path.
Sports Analytics
Data science for player evaluation, game strategy, and business optimization. The fastest-growing and most meritocratic sector in sports.
Franchise Management & Operations
The business of running a sports franchise: sales, marketing, partnerships, community relations, and general management.
Sports Law
Athlete contracts, collective bargaining, NIL, and broadcast rights: the legal backbone of the industry. A pre-law track: the student enters law school with industry knowledge and relationships most 1Ls never get.
Sports Leadership
The executive development track, for students who see themselves as future commissioners, team presidents, and athletic directors, and have the patience to build a career over decades.
These careers are built in league offices and team front offices, in athlete representation, in the analytics groups, in sports law, and across the media businesses built on top of the games. Most of the best seats are filled before anything is posted.
Sports hiring is overwhelmingly relationship-driven and concentrated in specific cities. Passion is not enough; access is the differentiator, and access is exactly what a mentor network provides.
