Every month Sports Management Worldwide tells you about our graduates who have taken advantage of our high level training and worked their way into an exciting career in the world of sports. This month we will tell the story of Landen Garner.

During the SBM course, Landen took advantage of the expertise of Tom Leip and Bret Polvorosa, the instructors of the Sports Business Management course. He worked hard to develop a relationship with Tom who he learned had contacts in his home state of Utah. Landen’s passion is the sport of baseball so he was hoping to utilize the course to get his foot in the door with a baseball team.

After the class was over, Landen stayed in touch with Tom Leip. Leip was able to set up an interview for Landen with the General Manager of the Orem Owlz, the Rookie League affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Through the knowledge attained in the Sports Business Management class, Landen was able to impress the staff in the interview and was offered a job as Director of Ticketing the very next day!

When asked about the Sports Business Management class, Landen’s response was:

“I want you to know that the Sports Business Management class has changed my life completely. I owe a lot of this success to Tom Leip, Bret Polvorosa and Sports Management Worldwide. The help and support that they provided for me made all the difference in helping me get a job in the front office with a baseball team.”

The 2007 SMWW Career Conference brought 300 people from all over the world to hear from the largest collection of speakers that SMWW has ever assembled. Set in the Hyatt Hotel’s large ballroom in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, the conference provides a wonderful opportunity to learn about different careers in the sports world. Speakers from the front office of sports teams and media in all five major sports in the US created a well rounded group for the attendees to hear from. Speakers shared their personal stories of how they got into the business and offered lots of advice for those wanting to enter the field.

The conference also provides a great opportunity to network. While SMWW brought dozens of successful sports executives to meet with our attendees, having the event with the NFL Combine as a backdrop brings attendees in contact with hundreds of NFL employees.

SMWW’s Annual Conference also includes an opening night party (which was held at Hooters this year) and a large tailgater style party on Saturday evening. The Colts cheerleaders where a special guest at this year’s Saturday night tailgater. They were a big hit and took the time to sign autographs and take pictures with our attendees.
