Because of my classroom experience and knowledge gained in the program I was fortunate to work for the American Junior Golf Association in Atlanta for two summers. I thought I knew sports; that was until I started the sports management program. I now have a better appreciation for everyone in the sports field, as well as being much more knowledgeable myself.
