Do You Love Sports?

Do you love sports? Does that describe you?

Students in my classes have degrees in business management, finance, marketing and accounting, as well as, journalism, law, liberal arts, biology and history. Each student decided at some point that applying their degree in an area of sport would permit a combining of “loves”. Sport management degrees allow for this to occur!

The United States Sports Academy (USSA) offers sport management opportunities at the undergraduate and graduate level. Complete a four year degree and pursue a Master’s Degree or complete a Master’s Degree in the field of your choice and attend the USSA to obtain your Doctorate in Sport Management.

Have your parents, teachers, counselors or friends ever said you should love your work? Have you ever seen how dreary life can become when someone close to you goes to work each day and doesn’t love their job? Accounting, biology, etc., can be fairly boring if working for a pipe fitting company and a medical research firm, respectively. But,if you’re working in accounting or sports medicine for a pro football team, an athletic department in a university or a National Governing Body, life can be very stimulating and fulfilling! That is, if you love sports!

Sports are businesses that need professionals to make them function properly. Lawyers, graphic designers, accountants, medical personnel, information technologists, marketing managers, meeting planners and conference managers, human resources experts, journalists and communication professionals, management experts and even risk management insurance experts all can locate positions in sport.

Where, you ask? There are many possibilities. Positions are available in radio and television; within the sporting goods industry; in the area of sporting events; or working at stadiums and arenas. The whole area of college, professional and amateur sport offers a plethora of opportunities as do the areas of recreational programs, health and fitness, high school and state affiliations and professional sport associations.

So, if you love sport, attend the United States Sports Academy, obtain a degree in sport management and work the rest of your life involved in an area you love! The USSA is an accredited university that specializes in sport related degrees!
