Football GM and Scouting

SMWW doesn't lead you on. They tell you what you need to do, and it is your job to do it. I have a clearer picture of what it takes to make it in the industry.

I took this course because my ultimate goal is to be a coach in the NFL. I needed more knowledge and football experience and learn some of the things a football organization goes through.I am currently talking to the Arizona Cardinals about maybe doing an internship for camp and maybe something with media relations during the season. Nothing is certain because it's so competitive. It's all about networking and this course and the skills I have learned give me an advantage over others.

The football GM and scouting course has helped me by building a solid foundation. As I progress in my profession, I will always look back on this specific course because it was so unique and very helpful. I would recommend this course to those who want to get involved in sports management.

the Football GM and Scouting Course gave me a great foundation. The main reason for taking the course was to get an understanding for the procedures and techniques of scouting in professional football. Thanks to SMWW, I am working with the Orlando Predators of the Arena Football League as an assistant to the Director of Player Personnel. So the course was a huge help in the development of my career.

I feel that the Football GM and Scouting course has helped me to gain a better insight on how a professional football team operates, and the coach's office and playbook were really helpful to me.

The Football GM & Scouting course gave me the tools I need to start a career in scouting, and probably most important, the resources and contacts to get started - I not only still attend the chats with Russ on a weekly basis but I have been able to make key contacts with other current NFL personnel that will hopefully lead to me getting my start with a team. After putting together a portfolio full scouting reports on 50 players eligible for this year's draft I applied with several teams immediately after the draft. I really can't say enough about the opportunities SMWW has given me!

The Football GM & Scouting course helped me take the initiative to get out and network along with taking the next step. This course helped me to network and create opporuntities for myself that will help in the future, along with providing me the skills to do what I love. My favorite part of the course was scouting players and getting an inside look into Russ Lande's scouting book, GMJr.

The best place to go for the sports lover. The contacts are priceless.

Sports Management Worldwide is a great way to meet contacts and soak up football knowledge from highly regarded NFL people. The "little things" that you learn during the course is invaluble to starting a career as a football scout.

The Football GM and Scouting course was a tremendous experience for me. I live in France had a European semi-pro Football background. As part of the SMWW course I had the chance to contact and discuss with people in NFL, CFL and AFL. The weekly chats are very inspiring and insightful with NFL experienced instructors Matt and Russ. I have discovered a passion for the "Football operations" and now, I understand the inner workings of the business of professional football.
