OUR MISSION
To expose our members to the business side of the sports that they love. In addition, we want to provide a well-rounded view of the sports business industry by bringing in guests from all over the sports world to speak to our club. This includes visits from owners, reporters, coaches, talent evaluators, agents, contract negotiators, and many more. Through listening and interacting with very accomplished guests, we learn how they have become successful and the steps they have taken. The lessons learned are applicable not only in the business world but in life as well.
