He also worked briefly for the Richmond Flying Squirrels. Now working in college admissions and based in Charlotte, N.C., he works part time doing video for the Charlotte Knights.

In this week’s episode, I get the chance to talk with Hunter Horenstein about his long journey with depression and anxiety. Hunter is the current Director of Fan Engagement for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, Adv., an affiliate of the Chicago Cubs. In his role, he oversees the Pelicans’ promotions and social media departments. Hunter is an eight year veteran of the sports industry, with experience at both the collegiate and professional levels. Originally from Long Beach, Ca., Hunter went nearly 22 years without addressing his mental health. Now 28, he works and lives in South Carolina with diagnosed social anxiety stress response syndrome and depression. Over the years, he’s become much more outspoken about his own struggles and journey, as well as an advocate for the normalization of mental health. We talk about how therapy, medication, a strong support system, and just being open to the process and, especially, to the help, has gotten Hunter to where he is today. “There's nothing wrong with taking your time on your journey. This wasn't an overnight thing. The journey has been long. It's sometimes gone backwards. Not every person's journey is the same, but that doesn't change the fact that you are absolutely not alone.”To learn more about Hunter’s journey, you can follow @h_horenstein on Instagram & Twitter ResourcesIn this episode, we talk about stress response syndrome, formally referred to as adjustment disorder. According to WebMD, Stress response syndrome is a short-term condition that happens when you have great difficulty managing with, or adjusting to, a particular source of stress, such as a major life change, loss, or event. Stress response syndrome changes the way you feel and think about the world and your place in it. In adjustment disorder/stress response syndrome, the reaction to the stressor is greater than what is typical or expected for the situation or event. The symptoms may cause problems with a person's ability to function; for example, the person may have trouble with sleep, work, or studying. It can have a wide variety of symptoms that are changes from someone's usual self.Treatment for AD/SRS may include:Psychotherapy or talk therapyMedications, including antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugsSupport groups

Want to Work in Sports? Of course you do! Bottom line: If you have sales skills, you'll go far. Bill Guertin is the guy who trains the sales staffs of pro teams around the nation, he knows what teams need and want on staff, and he joins us on this weeks podcast!Hi everybody, I'm Brian Clapp, Director of Content for WorkinSports.com and this is the Work in Sports podcast.As many of you know, we hosted a Sports Career Accelerator event a few months back in Atlanta. 2 days of intensive learning and exposure to top flight sports teams and orgs in the Atlanta region.But let me give you a little behind the scenes. Trust me, it relates to this week's episode, this isn't just a trip down memory lane.Day 1. Our first event like this, and to be honest, not exactly my comfort zone – I'm not always a small talk guy.But I was pretty relaxed because we had a guy on the ground in Atlanta doing all of our logistics and would be essentially shepherding all the guest speakers in place, navigating where we go at what time, Sign ins, swag bags… he had things covered.So I wake up morning of the event, get a good breakfast at my hotel, get changed up and walk to the event. It's about 7:30am…things don't start til 8:30. I'm relaxed and calm because the pressure is not on me.Then I get a text message. Our guy is not just sick… he's out. Down and out. Like heading to a clinic because he hasn't stopped vomiting for a few hours.I've been in a few pressure situations over my career, so I don't exactly panic…but I also don't feel I have everything I need to succeed which means I'm not exactly comfortable. And then an attendee shows up… early, very early.Hello Sean Grassi if you are listening.I'm now scrambling to get people checked in, hand out swag, give out badges… and it's not the best start in the world.People are filing in, they are in the room we rented, but it's deathly quiet in there. I' scrambling in the front of the lobby….and the vibe is…shall I say, poor.Then I see Bill Guertin come around the corner, one of our guest speakers. He takes one look at me and says…here, I got this, and he walks into the room with our guests.Next thing I know I hear chatter, and laughing, and cavorting and cajoling. Bill came in and just started to own the room.I had a mentor once who said – leaders change the temperature of the room when they enter. Think about that for a second – the idea is, everyone can feel a leader when they enter. It's a changing presence, an attention grabber.Bill has that, and more. Right then I thought, OK, this guy is good, he can control a room with ease…which isn't easy. Then I started to listen in, then I started to check his resume, then I started to admire.Bill has worked with over 100 professional sports teams to help train their sales staff… from the Boston Celtics, to the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. Football teams, basketball, baseball, NASCAR, hockey – if you have a sports event and a sales staff, Bill is the guy to train them.And, lucky us, he's our guest this week as we dig deeper into the role that comprises a huge percentage of sports employees.Here's Bill Guertin – and stay tuned at the end of the show for a special offer from Bill's company ISBIQuestions for Sales Trainer Bill Guertin:Listen to the episode for the answers!1: You've been in the sales game since 1992 – specifically in sports sales since 2004 – you are truly the expert in the field having worked with over 100 professional sports teams. I'll make the first questions really simple…or complex in it's simplicity, you decide… why sales? Why has sales been your calling?2: What I think I'm most impressed with about you, and there are many things, but I know how difficult it can be to get in with pro teams as an outside resource. How did you go from being a sales manager of a local radio station in Kankakee, Illinois to the trusted sales trainer of pro sports?3: Go back to the beginning – what was the first team you worked with, and what was that experience like?

We've had many interviews from different people within the sports industry. Today's interview with Hunter Horenstein is a first though.  When we attend a sporting event, we see the finished product and get to see the actual event itself. What we don't see is what truly goes on behind the scenes to get the event set up and to keep fans involved.  Today's interview will provide you with a greater appreciation of what goes on behind the scenes to get the events put together.  We have the Director of Fan Engagement for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans baseball team, Hunter, joining us to explain what all goes into it!    Give the Pelicans a follow:    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pelicansbaseball/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Pelicanbaseball  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/myrtlebeachpelicans/
