In the sports industry, it is important to make connections. This will help you a great amount in the future when building a career in sports. After reaching out too many people who are involved in sports such as event planners, coaches, managers, athletic directors and more, I have made a few connections to help with my goal towards a career in the sports industry. My penpal, Andy Holloway is a cooperate sales manager for the Norfolk Admirals. I reached out to Andy through email and he replied agreeing to help me grow my knowledge. Andy is working for the Norfolk Admirals for his first season this year. Andy is also a part of the cooperate advertising and sponsorship team as well. Along with these things Andy also has experience in both marketing and sales roles. With Andy as my penpal, we will work together to share information about the sports and other things.
