Sports Jobs — 02/05/24
A list of jobs in the sports industry, curated by Olivia Witherite, who is focused on creating more lanes for diverse hires
Hi. Last week, I had a pretty overwhelming week of working, job hunting, freelancing, interviewing and pitching. While I work toward what’s next for me, I am intentionally trying to become more comfortable with failure.
For every job interview you land, you’ll probably get five rejections. For every yes you receive, you’ll hear 10 nos. It can be discouraging, but to succeed, we must be willing to put ourselves out there.
This idea has been reinforced in a book that I’ve been reading lately called “Lose Well” by comedian Chris Gethard. This quote has really stuck with me.
Failure is your friend. Winning is your goal, or losing is your goal. You never want to land in that sad middle ground where you haven’t failed. Where you did nothing to embarrass yourself, but didn’t do anything to distinguish yourself either. That’s the difference between winning and playing not to lose.
Let’s put ourselves out there and get after it!
By the way, if you share and refer the Sports Job newsletter with a friend or colleague (and they sign up), you’ll be automatically entered to win a pair of open-ear headphones from Opn Sound! Click the button below for your link to the job board and consider sharing it on social. (Tag me!)
A Word from OPN Sound: If you don’t know, I’m a big runner. Since I mostly run in cities, I take a lot of steps to stay safe.
I am happy to team up with OPN Sound. These open-ear headphones stay put and allow me to listen to music while staying aware of my surroundings. Use code OW20 for 20% off your entire order at OPN Sound.
