Sporting PR If I could have any job in the world it would be to work for a professional sports team. I would love to do either Public Relations, Sponsorship or Marketing for a team. I worked in the Sponsorship department for The Texas Rangers Baseball Club as an intern in the summer of 2007. It was the most amazing experience. I knew that I would love it and enjoy my summer but I had no idea how much I would love it. The experience was overwhelmingly amazing. After finishing up my final week in the office I knew that I wanted to return to that job someday in my future. I think that people do not realize how hard it can be to work in sports. It is hard to keep up an image of a team when they may not be having a winning year, and that is a task you have to be ready for. (Promoting a Team)
Although as I start applying for jobs I realize it will take a lot to become a PR practitioner for a major sports team. It will take a lot of learning from more internships and any experience I can learn from to add to my history and resume. Most of the requirements for most of the positions I have looked at require at least 3-5 years of experience. I know it will take hard work and determination to obtain my goal, but I know that I can make it happen if I just do not give up. If for some reason I can't work for a specific team there are even agencies that will work for teams to promote their product, their team and game. However, I plan to stay strong on getting to where I want to end up, work for a professional sports franchise.
