One of the most common questions prospective students ask is: Does SMWW guarantee a job?

The honest answer is no—Sports Management Worldwide (SMWW) does not guarantee job placement. And that’s actually a good thing.

A guaranteed job in the sports industry would suggest that opportunity alone determines success. In reality, long-term success in sports requires preparation, skill development, networking, and the ability to create value. That’s where SMWW focuses its mission: sharpening the tools in your toolbox so you can compete and succeed.

Why No One Can Truly Guarantee a Job in Sports

The sports industry is competitive. Teams, agencies, and organizations hire candidates who bring measurable value—whether in scouting, analytics, marketing, representation, or operations.

You need skills to get the job.
But you often need experience to build those skills.

This is the gap that stops many aspiring professionals.

SMWW bridges that gap.

How SMWW Prepares You for the Sports Industry

Founded by Dr. Lynn Lashbrook, Sports Management Worldwide was built on one principle: education should be practical, connected to the industry, and taught by professionals who live and breathe sports every day.

Instead of offering false promises, SMWW provides:

• Real-world curriculum taught by active industry professionals

• Networking opportunities with decision-makers

• Career guidance tailored to your goals

• Tools that make you a stronger, more attractive candidate

The focus is empowerment—not entitlement.

Bridging the “Skills vs. Experience” Gap

Many aspiring professionals face a frustrating reality:

• Employers want experience.

• You need a job to gain experience.

SMWW addresses this by giving students applied knowledge, industry insight, and direct exposure to professionals working in sports today. That access matters.

Through programs in scouting, agency, analytics, broadcasting, and sports business, students learn what employers actually look for—and how to present themselves accordingly.

Resume Redesign and Professional Positioning

A strong resume is often the difference between being overlooked and getting an interview.

SMWW’s resume redesign service helps students:

• Present their experience professionally

• Highlight transferable skills

• Align their background with sports industry expectations

• Stand out in a competitive hiring market

In sports, perception and presentation matter. Your resume is your first impression.

Direct Access to Industry Professionals

Another major advantage is the Dr. Lashbrook Worldwide Chat—an interactive opportunity to engage directly with experienced sports executives and instructors.

These sessions allow students to:

• Ask real-world career questions

• Gain insight into hiring trends

• Understand industry expectations

• Build meaningful professional connections

Connections alone don’t get you hired—but informed connections combined with preparation can open doors.

What SMWW Really Guarantees

While SMWW does not guarantee employment, it does guarantee:

• Education rooted in real-world application

• Access to industry professionals

• Career development resources

• A community of driven sports professionals

Your success ultimately depends on your effort, persistence, and willingness to apply what you learn.

The Bottom Line

If you are looking for a guaranteed job, the sports industry may not be the right place. It rewards preparation, initiative, and resilience.

SMWW sharpens your tools.
You still have to build the house.

By bridging the gap between knowledge and opportunity, SMWW positions you to become a competitive candidate—equipped with the skills, connections, and confidence to pursue a meaningful career in sports.

And in an industry built on performance, that preparation is what truly matters.
