The Work in Sports Podcast - Insider Advice for Sports Careers
Vince Gennaro, Associate Dean of the NYU Tisch Institute for Global Sport, dishes on baseball, analytics, cool ranch Doritos and the new Masters in Global Sport at NYU on this edition of the Work in Sports podcast!Hi everybody, I'm Brian Clapp, Vice President of Content and Engaged learning at WorkinSports.com and this is the Work in Sports podcast…A few months back I interviewed Lewie Pollis, Philadelphia Phillies Lead Quantitative Analyst for Amateur Scouting… and something he shared during that interview has really stuck with me. While in college, he took it upon himself to conduct a research study into evaluating players impact on the collegiate level, and pitched it to various college teams, leagues and conferences in hopes of landing a position.This was his proof of concept, his calling card to the teams to not just say he was a worthy addition, to prove it with action. It is also a leap of faith in himself - he put in a lot of time and effort to do a thorough investigation, but there was no promise of return. He could have invested time and effort creating the doc, and then sending it out to teams, following up with leads, digging for action… and had nothing come of it. But it did. One college program had their interest piqued by what he sent, talked with him and eventually offered him a job… which eventually led to an even better job with the Phillies. All because he went an extra step, a risk.He's not alone, Brian Killingsworth, CMO of the Vegas Golden Knights came right out on our show and said - when you apply for a job include something that makes me take notice. He cited doing research into the value and impact of eSports or pitching a new social media concept. Crafting a research document -- anything extra to help you stand out.This concept sticks with me because we're always looking for ways to help you differentiate yourself. I was reminded of this again in my research for today's guest on the podcast, Vince Gennaro, associate dean of NYU's Tisch School for Global Sport.Back in 1974, Vince was 27 years old - an economic consultant to various industries in addition to working as an economic analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. He had his MBA and a passion for baseball. Inspired by veteran right-handed pitcher Catfish Hunter signing a then-lucrative free agent deal with the Yankees - Gennaro decided to analyze if the contract was a real value to the Yankees. He reached far beyond performance metrics, he applied statistics, mathematics, and technology to dig into the overall impact of the player, not just performance, but economics as well -- how many additional tickets would he sell? After this extensive research, Gennaro concluded that Hunter's value to the Yankees that first season was $680,000. This was the beginning of his Player Valuation System, which, in addition to analyzing the value of specific players, shows how winning percentage, promotional days, ticket prices, attendance, and other factors interact and affect the bottom line in the operation of a major league club.Teams took notice of this new methodology of evaluating a player's true value. Since that time Gennaro has consulted with various baseball teams, owned a women's professional basketball team, written endless columns for outlets like Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo Sports, is the president of SABR society for American baseball research, hosts a baseball show on SiriusXM and is the Associate Dean for NYU's Tisch School for global sport. Not a bad resume. He's one of the wisest people I've ever had the pleasure of interviewing -- he's Vince Gennaro.Listen in to the Work in Sports podcast with Vince Gennaro to learn more!
The Work in Sports Podcast - Insider Advice for Sports Careers
You can figure out how to answer interview questions when you consider why they were asked in the first place. Let's run through some examples on this episode of the Work in Sports podcast!Hi everybody, I'm Brian Clapp director of content for WorkinSports.com and this is the Work in Sports podcast.As you hopefully know by now, we have a private Facebook group for this podcast. It has a very inventive name -- we call it - the Work in Sports podcast private group. I know right? Lots of branding meetings and focus groups went into the creation of the name. Quick side story -- this is a new record, I've barely even started and I'm already into a side story -- anyway, I was at the NASSM conference a week or two ago and met with many sports management professors. One was Dr. Karen Boleska, from Husson University, I've spoken in her class before and it was nice to meet her first hand. Well, she told me about another podcast she listens to called “How to Be Awesome at Your Job” and she kept discussing what made it great, and all I could think of the whole time was… damn, that's a much better name for a podcast. I mean outs is brand relevant since we are WorkinSports.com, and it's clear we're going to talk about working in sports… but “how to be awesome at your job” podcast is a pretty good hook.Ok back on track -- maybe mine should be called the tangent inside a diversion wrapped in an aside podcast -- anyway the reason I brought up the facebook group for the 10,000 time is because I'm going to do something kind of fun and related to it this beautiful Monday morning - I'm going to use it as the launching point for our discussion.Group member Erin Preuter posted last week:As I prepare for an interview tomorrow I wanted to ask everyone what was the hardest or most unique question you've ever been asked during an interview?Well, the group responded and I'm going to highlight some of those responses here and then explain a little about why they may be asking them, and how I may answer them.1: Scott MacDonald -- I was once asked who was my hero and why, and I got kind of emotional talking about my late father, but I feel like it helped humanize me a bit in the interview.2: Jeff Gillis: I was asked who I was.3: Ashley Potts: I prepared for a lot of logistical job questions and then got asked which Game of Thrones character I would be and was totally caught off guard haha.4: William Edward: I was asked what movie or character represented my sales career so far. Caught me off guard!5: Ramon Sanchez How would you organize weekly tasks?6: Kevin Wilson: My question was to describe how you would change the culture, without negatively impacting morale? 7: Before the last filter at my last hiring process, I set my mind telling myself “this job is mine.” The interviewer was an extravagant guy who asked me what I saw first in his office as I crossed the door, then he made me tell him a real story and a false story, and, finally, he said: “imagine I'm an oracle that will answer any question you may have, what would you ask me?” I said: “how far will I go?” He thought for a second and said: “you'll break into the top.” They hired me over a year ago and now he says he “relies on me blindly.” Today's Sponsors!Hey everyone it's Brian, we've got a really fun podcast episode coming up today, but first let's talk about the Masters in Global Sport from NYU -- the associate dean of the program is an industry leader, Vince Gennaro, he's consulted with major league baseball teams, been one of the originals in the world of analytics, and is totally dedicated to the globalization of sport and all that goes into it. I just conducted an interview with Vince for the podcast, and I'll be honest i was ready to run through a wall… well, metaphorically speaking. He got me fired up, his passion and his intellect for the business was inspiring. I can only imagine what class is like!The MS in Global sport is a 36-credit, 16-month master's degree.
