If you are interested in sports business, you may think that an internship in a sports-related field is the ideal choice for you. That may be true, but then again, there are other factors to consider. If you have experience in sports and you have education in sports business, perhaps an internship in public relations will do you more good.
Public relations are such a huge part of the sports business that getting some experience in this field could do you a world of good. An internship with a PR firm shows you to be well rounded in terms of business and not just focused on sports. It will help you to get involved in a wider range of sports-related business in the future. It will also expose you to the corporate side of the sports business and let you decide if you like that lifestyle.
A summer spent in a PR office may not be the first type of internship opportunity that pops into your mind, but it could well be the best one. It will offer you flexibility in your future career and give you exposure to another side of sports—the one you seldom consider when dashing past the fifty-yard line!
