With the money circulating in today’s professional sports industry, we can come to 2 conclusions:
Due to this, there are now more professional sports teams and athletes then ever before. To give you an example, most countries in Europe will have at least 3 divisions of pro leagues in soccer and basketball with at least 10 teams per division. That’s only 2 sports and just Europe – the growth is on a world scale and across many sports.
As the pro sports industry grows, participation & competition from grassroots is higher then ever. Therefore, there is still one common statistic that remains the same – less then 1% become pro athletes!
In order to become a professional athlete you must resemble some serious grit, perseverance, resilience, confidence, determination, work ethic, teamwork, leadership skills, competitiveness, ability to handle adversity and much more!
This is why athletes tend to succeed in business – the transferrable skills & attitude learnt from sport give them the ability to become the best performing employees, managers, entrepreneurs & business owners. However, a lot of hiring managers miss out on the opportunity to employ athletes transitioning from sport because they prefer someone with industry experience. Here is why that’s wrong and why they should consider athletes:
So next time you’re hiring, as opposed to taking the easy road and hiring industry experience, be innovative & forward thinking and consider the benefits of hiring the right attitude and how that drives long-term business growth.
Whether you’re an athlete looking to transition into a new career or an employer looking to build a high-performance culture within your team, Athlete2Business looks forward to working with you!
