Welcome to the Mark Tudi Sports Blog
August 11th, 2008 Posted in On My Soap BoxOver 30 years ago I was studying at Bowling Green University and dreamed of the day I would be working for a professional baseball team. Little did I know that the many years of focusing on my passion of sports would be the driving force of my livelihood today.
Without proper preparation, all of that dreaming was worthless to me in my attempt to break into baseball. I had absolutely no personal or professional contacts in the entire sports industry and did not have a clue to any resources or direction. After college, I took a very good job with a large company. In one year I knew the only place for me was in the sports industry, but I had no idea how to build a career path.
Building a career in sports is sometimes one of the most difficult tasks to accomplish. Many times the conditions have to be just perfect for you to get an opportunity. No matter how many calls you make, resumes you send or resources you develop, your job search comes up empty.
Desire and preparation will help you find the satisfaction you’re searching for in sports. You just need a fortunate break…Remember, people get very lucky when an opportunity appears and they are properly prepared.
I experienced many frustrations while building a career in sports over the past 30+ years. These big time mistakes and learning experiences will serve as the basic foundation of insights and observations that will fill these pages in the future. I welcome your feedback and active participation.
When you give up your dream…you die. Keep chasing your dream and I’ll see you around the ball park.
