Today I am fortunate to announce Alexander Martin, Director of Player Engagement for the Miami Dolphins, will be speaking at the Player Development Conference.

Alex is well known around the industry as being one of the biggest advocates for those who are starting to work in sports or are young professionals. He uses his LinkedIn profile to repost sports jobs consistently.

His session is titled: Avoiding the Internship Olympics: When full-time preparation meets full-time opportunity.

His session information: Player development exists at both the collegiate and professional levels. As enticing as the professional level seems however, full-time positions are rarely available. Instead, a lot of pro sports teams offer internships and other “seasonal” roles to help maintain efficiency and continuity across the building. Many are taking on multiple seasonal roles and internships year-after-year hoping to land a full time role with a professional team, not realizing they may be sacrificing full-time experience in the process. This session will help future player development professionals avoid taking on multiple internships, help learn how to land a full-time role in player development, and assist in their growth as a player development professional.

Today on The Player Development Pod we re-visit one of the most listened to podcast episodes. This episode was recorded in 2022.
