Using Science to Discover Your Dream Sports Job

What if there was a way to use science to figure out the best career path for you, narrowing down the many options into a much more manageable choice? With nearly a third of sports industry professionals seeking a career change, choosing the right path is far from an exact science. 

Well, Brian Clapp got a big hit of inspiration while watching Oppenheimer. He donned his lab coat and pocket protector, got out his calculator, and started testing. I picture Brian as more of a Bill Nye than an Einstein in the lab. Either way, he’s giving you new sports career advice for finding what you are good at and what you will love and thrive in. 

Like any good science experiment, you’ll have to break a few eggs to make the omelet; you won’t always nail your first hypothesis. Still, Brian’s idea revolves around eliminating false positives on your way to finding a satisfying line of work. Some of his suggestions are centered on actions you can take before committing to an internship or class – smaller steps that can direct you toward an industry fit. But I’ll let Brian explain his stroke of genius and prove that he is no mad scientist.
