🚀 How to get a job in sports?

This is what I learned from @AndrewBrandt

5 easy steps to crush your sports job interview:

Early adversity builds resilience. Some teens thrive in college and internships because they've navigated challenges, a lesson parents sometimes miss when seeking more playing time. #Resilience #YouthDevelopment

[Marcus Filipsson @FilipssonMarcus]

Winning isn't the sole priority for player development. Coaches are assessed on player progression into higher teams, not just game results. Playing 'bad football' can jeopardize a job, even with a win. #YouthSoccer #PlayerDevelopment

Experts say mental performance accounts for 70-80% of your success. While coaches focus on skills, conditioning, and strategy, the mindset often gets overlooked. Train your mind like a muscle—because it is. #Mindset #Performance #MentalTraining

The atoms in a carbon pencil lead are the same as those in a priceless diamond. The only difference is their arrangement. Your choice defines your value. Choose to be the diamond. #Mindset #PersonalGrowth

Think volleyball has less reach than tennis? Think again. Volleyball boasts a surprisingly strong and dedicated baseline following, challenging perceptions of its social media impact. #Volleyball #Sports

Younger generations are reshaping sports content consumption. The key? An OTT channel for die-hard fans and strategic broadcast negotiations. #SportsMedia #OTT

From aspiring lawyer to football obsession, the journey was fueled by passion. Mastering every skill, it was more than a game—it was a way of life, kept as a hobby, not a career. #Passion #FootballJourney

The Qatar World Cup highlighted severe risks for migrant workers building infrastructure. The kafala system, lack of prior infrastructure, and extreme heat created unacceptable human rights risks. Speaking out was crucial. #MigrantWorkers #HumanRights

The first comprehensive report on the US padel market is here. Dive into court and club numbers, pricing strategies, and tournament structures. #PadelMarket #SportsBusiness

[Marcus Filipsson @FilipssonMarcus]

The sports world is booming with new opportunities! From the rise of the National Padel League to the inspiring leadership of its CEO, Luis Fer, the future of sports is exciting and growing. #SportsBusiness #Padel

[Marcus Filipsson @FilipssonMarcus]

Building a padel club involves more than just the court. High infrastructure costs for walls, bathrooms, tech, and parking can make the overall investment surprisingly high. #PadelBusiness #SportsFacilities

[Marcus Filipsson @FilipssonMarcus]

Elite performers earn confidence through humility and process. Discipline trumps motivation. They consistently meet standards, not feelings, and bounce back quickly when things go wrong. This is the hallmark of true high performance. #HighPerformance #Discipline

[Marcus Filipsson @FilipssonMarcus]

Motivation is overrated and not a requirement for success. It's a feeling, and feelings aren't permanent or reliable. Embrace all your emotions, but don't rely on motivation alone. #Motivation #Mindset

[Marcus Filipsson @FilipssonMarcus]

The past and future are only in our minds. The present moment is the only reality. 'Next Play' reminds us to focus on what's in front of us, not what just happened. #Mindfulness #PersonalGrowth #Presence

[Marcus Filipsson @FilipssonMarcus]

You don't have to react emotionally. Cultivate awareness and emotional regulation to respond thoughtfully, moving you forward. Embrace acceptance and acknowledge what you can't control. #EmotionalIntelligence #Mindfulness

[Marcus Filipsson @FilipssonMarcus]

Elite success is built on discipline and consistency. It means making choices aligned with your goals and the person you aim to be. #SuccessMindset #Discipline

[Marcus Filipsson @FilipssonMarcus]

Consistency is a superpower anyone can control. Mediocre performers do what they want, when they want. Elite performers do it regardless, because it's their standard. Don't let feelings dictate actions. #Consistency #Performance

[Marcus Filipsson @FilipssonMarcus]

Pressure is a self-imposed story. The court, rim, and ball stay the same whether it's a championship game or a preseason scrimmage. Change your perception, not the reality. #Mindset #Performance

[Marcus Filipsson @FilipssonMarcus]

Don't let others define your success. Chasing external validation like job titles or follower counts is a losing game. True success is an internal feeling of peacefulness and fulfillment, not external accolades. #SuccessMindset #PersonalGrowth

[Marcus Filipsson @FilipssonMarcus]

Instead of chasing 'elite' status, focus on personal excellence—doing the best you're capable of, consistently. A high standard in everything you do opens doors and brings satisfaction, often leading to elite recognition. #PersonalGrowth #Excellence
