Basketball GM & Scouting Course

Basketball Job Training

Taking the Sports Business Management and Basketball GM & Scouting courses provided me with the confidence to start my own online sports venture. I interviewd Billy King, President and General Manager of the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association (NBA) for my Basketball GM & Scouting project. I have since met with him on other occasions to discuss salary cap management and personnel issues. SMWW should be applauded for training and empowering individuals to pursue their dreams. To Lynn, Liz and the entire SMWW team, I say keep up the good work. Robert (SMWW Alum)

I think the whole performance analysis part, plus the video editing, and learning all about what a GM and scout has to do, opened me up to a whole new learning experience.

This course has provided me with the most amazing experience of my life! For those who think they know everything about their particular sport; you know nothing until you have completed this course. You will leave after eight weeks knowing much, much more then you did when you started. For all future sports business leaders, you owe it to yourself to take this course.

The Basketball and Scouting GM Course gives a great insight the how Basketball teams work, the scouting imformation has changed the wayI look at the game and its for the better. Thanks to this course I have made contacts within Basketball Teams and hopefullyI can progress within this industry.

I was fascinated by the amount of information I learned about the business of basketball. Very impressed with the technology and had a great time working/practicing with it. Even more impressive was the staff and how we were able to interact with one another.

This course gives you 8 weeks of what a four year college/university couldn't. Instructors who've been in the business, played the sport and have the actual connections with potential employers. Numerous, years of Basketball experience, open forum to discuss freely the issues surrounding the Basketball world from Prep to Professional. If you want a hands on experience, use software the PROS use, speak to Front Office personnel. Then this is the course for you, don't worry about the coursework........IT'S JUST BASKETBALL!

Overall, the knowledge acquired into the duties and responsibilites of the General Manager was educational as well. I now have a different perspective of looking at how teams are managed and how business is conducted in the NBA.

The SMMW Basketball GM and Scouting course enabled me to learn more about the business of basketball such as salary cap and statistical information that a General Manager would need to know to run and organization. Thank you SMMW!

I enjoyed the reading material both the Baseball and Football courses offered. Also, the discussions were very thought provoking. The best part was being able to post at any time, from any place. The scouts I interviewed were very eager to impart their knowledge and experiences to me. Overall, these courses were intense but rewarding. I am a full time student, and I will be able to transfer credits gained from these two courses to my university. The staff was easy to contact, and flexible when I was out of the country.
