With the sun setting on 2022, the WorkInSports Podcast continues to look back at some of the best sports career advice our expert guests provided throughout the past 12 months.

On today’s episode, we revisit our conversation the Los Angeles Chargers’ Chad Jessop, who serves as the team’s Equipment Assistant. There are myriad ways to enter the sports business, and Jessop’s journey into the NFL puts that on display. Having equipment needs met is seen as a given in football, but a lot of effort goes into ensuring a full 53-player roster (plus staff members) have what they need daily. The best equipment managers must have a customer service mentality to tend to the constant demands of their teams for practices, game days, and road trips. In this episode, Jessop and VP of Content and Engaged Learning Brian Clapp discuss:

  • How to become an equipment manager
  • Jessop’s rise from the high school ranks to a training camp gig with the Dallas Cowboys
  • The biggest challenges  equipment managers face in the NFL
  • The importance of building relationships in an NFL locker room
