Hey everybody, I'm Brian Clapp, VP of Content and Engaged Learning at WorkInSports.com and this is the Work In Sports podcast…It was March 11th that the NBA suspended their season and today is March 30th -- that's 19 days without sports, the longest I've ever gone in my life. It is for the greater good, but man this stinks. I hope you have all been doing the best you can with social distancing and quarantine. It is the right choice, and I hope you are all following the guidelines set out by the experts.I'm not making any political commentaries here when I say -- trust the experts. Ignore the fluff, and pageantry, focus on the medical experts and scientists. Moving right along -- we're trying to stay focused on the things you can be doing to advance yourself during this time of chaos.We are ramping up our content -- on Mondays, we'll do our standard answer a fan question. ON Wednesday's expert interview...and then we're adding a Friday edition, which will either be a piece of advice relevant to our current world and situation or will be a timely guest. So far we've had special guests Kenneth Shropshire, CEO of the Global Sports Institute, I've done an episode on networking during the global pandemic, and just this past Friday I had on Greg Hylton, VP of Premium Seating with the NFL.I have to tell you, Greg's one of my new favorite interviews and I hope you all have listened or will go back and listen to it today.Why this episode?Well, Greg works in the NFL, the one league with a season ahead - so his perspective is unique right now.He also really knows the importance of revenue-generating roles, and how they will be in great demand when we come out of thisWe talk about the smaller leagues can survive this, the strategy teams may use to make up the revenue shortfall, how attending games may have to change… and more. It was an awesome conversation, please check it out. Today, we're going to handle what has become a very very common question.  I've received this question in various formats about 1,000 times now -- “Hey brian, what can I be doing right now to advance my career prospects?”I've talked about networking during this time, I've talked about learning a skill that you don't have, I've talked about online courses and training, especially in sales because that is where the demand will be.Today I want to talk about conducting a self-audit. I know, this sounds awful. Aa self-audit sounds like a root canal. I need to come up with some better branding. All it really is, is getting a deeper understanding of yourself, and how you match up with the needs of the marketplace.  Step 1: The Heat Check Step 2: The resume review Step 3: Cover letterStep 4: Informational interviews

Hey everybody, I'm Brian Clapp VP of Content and Engaged learning for WorkInSports.com and this is a special edition of the Work in Sports podcast.We're in a very unique situation right now with the Coronavirus outbreak changing the landscape of the sports industry minute by minute. Multiple sports leagues and long-standing events are being suspended if not outright canceled in an effort to isolate and calm the spread of this deadly outbreak. Star players we know and root for, Hollywood actors, heads of state are coming out as infected by this virus responsible for the COVID-19 disease. I want to be clear, we are not panicked, we are looking to the future. These cancellations and suspensions will have an impact on the business of sports and it's time to discuss and prepare for the ramifications.---Joining me today to discuss the short and long term effects of the coronavirus outbreak is professor Kenneth Shropshire. Mr. Shropshire is the CEO of the Global Sports Institue at Arizona State, and has held consultative roles with the NCAA, Major League Baseball, NFL, NFLPA and the United States Olympic Committee -- Dr. Shropshire thank you for joining me. --This conversation can break into two different categories – we aren't doctors so we won't speculate on the virus itself – but we can discuss what this means for the now, and what this means for the future.Let's start with the now.Questions for Dr. Kenneth Shropshire, CEO of the Global Sports Institute on the Economic Impact of Coronavirus on the Sports Industry1: Is the decision to suspend the seasons of the NHL, NBA, MLB, March Madness and other major events like the Masters and the EPL the very definition of discretion being the better part of valor?  Is this the right move?2: When leagues do the prudent thing and suspend play, there is an affected class of daily workers. Do the leagues and ownership bear any responsibilities to these workers who depend on these roles for their survival?3: In the short term, outside of game day staff, will this lead to further-reaching layoffs across sports?4: Outside of the teams and leagues themselves, who do you see being most affected economically by the suspension of play?5: Major leagues will survive this, but what about smaller leagues with razor-thin margins for success – like the XFL? the Professional Lacrosse League? Lower-division soccer leagues throughout Europe?6: I wonder also about the mental health of the athletes themselves – especially college athletes. Men and women competing for championships one day and then the next it is over, or players set to start their spring season, and then poof, that part of their identity is gone – how damaging can this be to them?7: Looking forward to when teams and leagues return to play because eventually, they will. Do you think they'll try to make up the lost revenue, or will they have to go the other way and incentivize people to come back?8: When will we start to see the broader economic impact? Obviously, the stock market is affected immediately, but what about employment? When will the decrease in revenue start to affect jobs and opportunities moving forward?9: The NCAA tournament brings in over 900 million in revenue to the NCAA – take $900 million of revenue out of the pocket of NCAA athletics – who will this affect most in the long run?10: I've seen it written that Corona is more likely to have a worse economic impact in the US than China – primarily because of our societies propensity to spend their discretionary dollars on social gathering spots like sports, fitness centers, concerts, restaurants --If this consumer spending stops for a long period of time, will the US potentially face greater challenges in recovery than other countries?11: After 9/11 there was a massive change in security at arenas – do you foresee any major changes in the way arenas and stadiums are operated after Coronavirus?12: During the last recession The Economist stated that “Sports in particular are,

Kenneth Shropshire, CEO of the Global Sports Institute at Arizona State University joins the Work in Sports podcast to discuss the future of our industryHey it's Brian before we start today's podcast episode with Kenneth Shropshire CEO of the Global Sport Institute … let's talk about, the master's program at the University of Dubuque!If you've been considering getting a masters with a foundation in business, but an emphasis in sports, the Masters in Management - Sports Management at the University of Dubuque could be your perfect mix.I've long state my personal preference is for Masters in Sports Management to be rooted in business, since that is the language of our world. Sports is just another big business, but in a much cooler package if you ask me. The University of Dubuque program offers face-to-face or online options and is just a 30-credit hour program, so it can be completed in 1 year! The curriculum is focused on building leaders in the sports world and includes integrated field experience and professional development opportunities. Check out the University of Dubuque's program - visit dbq.edu/mmsm Now let's start the countdown…Hi everybody, I'm Brian Clapp, Director of Content for WorkInSports.com and this is the Work in Sports podcastSometimes we act like sports is settled science. Athletes play games, fans buy tickets and t-shirts, coaches coach, trainers nurture, businesses buy suites and entertain clients -- it's the circle of sports.But in reality, there is much more than that going on in the business of sports. Sure we all still care about the box score of last nights game, we want to know why Kawhi Leonard is able to do what he does, how Tom Brady seems to defy the laws of aging and understand the rise of the Minnesota Twins… but in all honesty, sometimes that's the superficial part of the industry. Yes, it's the most important, without games and achievements and stars there wouldn't be anything else. But, we should be proud that there is much more to contemplate. The sports product is more than beefcakes running fast and jumping high, there are intricacies and impacts that need to be studied and better understood.But sports is much more than the elite, it's also the everyday. The athletes that aren't on TV, still have questions that need answering - like should your child play football with a concussion? What are the chances your child can become a pro athlete? Should you drink Gatorade instead of water?The communities who support teams have questions - like should the public fund a new stadium in their city? And why aren't more Latina girls participating in sports?These are the types of questions the Global Sport Institute at Arizona State University sets out to solve through research. But this isn't the type of research that gets passed around from scholar to scholar never making a real impact, it's the type that is filtered down into the communities and to the people that need them most. One of the massive advantages of the Global Sports Institue is that it works cross-functionally with other departments within Arizona State, from engineering to sociology, to the athletic department and beyond. That's how they achieve the real depth of knowledge and game-changing research abilities.At the head of this program is Global Sport Institute CEO and this week's guest, Kenneth Shropshire. It's funny, I'm 44 years old, so I don't generally refer to people as Mr. or Mrs. that often -- I usually go first name and am comfortable with that. But Kenneth Shropshire is a Mr. Shropshire… he is a commanding presence with a global impact over his 40 years in the sports industry. We'll get into his impressive background during the interview, but know this… if you hear me call him Kenneth, it was because he asked me to… I kept wanting to call him Mr. Shropshire, out of respect for his worldly accomplishments as they relate to race, college sports, sports agency and so much more… Here he is, Mr. Kenneth Shropshire,

This week on the Rhoden Fellows podcast, Bill talks about the college admissions scam with senior writer for The Undefeated, Michael Fletcher and CEO of the Global Sports Institute at ASU, Kenneth Shropshire.
