Testimonials

"The UConn Sport Business Association is an excellent organization for students interested in pursuing a career within sports. Aside from valuable trips and events the slub runs, the weekly meetings provide students a unique opportunity to network with professionals within the field. SBA has given me the chance to build my resume in sport while offering the best experiences as a sports fan in general. Even if you are not necessarily interested in working in sports after college, if you are a sports fan, I would unequivocally recommend joining SBA for the fun trips to sporting events run by the organization. Joining the Sport Business Association has easily been one of the best choices I have made since attending the University of Connecticut, and I plan to continue my role as an active member of the organization throughout my time here."

“Joining SBA was a great decision for me. I love sports, and joining allowed me to meet people who were as passionate as I am. I have met many of my friends on campus through the club, and have had opportunities I wouldn’t have had elsewhere. Even if you are not interested in a career in sports, there are great people and great experiences in this club.”

"The SBA is a great way for underclassmen to meet other students that share the same passion for sports and aspire to have a career in the sports industry. The SBA allows students to make connections with sports personnel through peers, guest speakers, and trips. Through the SBA this past year, I was lucky enough to take trips to Harvard for the Ivy LeagueSports Symposium, Madison Square Garden, and the Barclays Center. These trips were unique networking opportunities that I would not have experienced had it not been for the SBA. I highly recommend joining the UConn Sport Business Association."

"Whether it has been trips to Madison Square Garden, attending the Ivy League Sports Symposium, or even participating in a resume workshop, the UConn Sport Business Association has benefited my future since the very first day I joined. I've been fortunate enough to meet several students in this organization who are not just interested in sports, but the business side of sports as well. The networking opportunities in the SBA are absolutely endless, seeing how so many of their alumni have gone on to do great things after college. They have done a great job of exploring my interests and assuring me that I have a great amount of fun in the process. I recommend that everyone join this group!"

"Joining the SBA has been one of the best decisions I have made at UConn so far. This club is not only a place where students can share their passion for sports, but a place where students can develop into aspiring sports professionals. From the ability to get exclusive behind-the-scenes tours of professional sport facilities to opportunities to learn from and connect with elite sport professionals, this group prepares you for a career in sport business and gets you ahead of the game. This group has also helped to develop into the individual I am today, and I have made friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend that everyone join this club, because this club is the real deal."

"As a member of SBA, I had the pleasure of making friends, networking, and developing leadership, organization, and teamwork skills. Furthermore, my time as President taught me responsibility and made me proud to be a UConn student. I know that once I become an alumni, I will think back to the trips we put together and attended, and how much fun I had with this group."

"It has meant so much to me that I have been able to experience so many things through the trips I have gone on, such as the Ivy League Sports Symposium and Barclays Center. I've been able to network and get to know other kids my age that are trying to do the same things I am. Getting to know some of the people in this group has been great. SBA has been a great experience and I would advise anyone who is passionate about business or sports to get into this group."

"SBA gave me the opportunity to experience first-hand what working in the sports industry was like. This gave me a clear understanding of what kind of a career I want to have, and what kind of career I don't want to have. I was also able to network with industry professionals, as well as peers with similar interests. If you are interested in pursuing a career in sports, the SBA is the right place for you."
