Resume Building and Interview Skills
Resumes aren’t just for job hunting- it’s important to keep them updated in case a potential partner wants to learn more about your background. With our human resources experience, we can help you stay on top of your documents or get prepared for the job hunt.
Our team stays up to speed with what employers are looking for with resumes, bios and cover letters and can help make sure your documents are in tip-top shape for any job or opportunity you are considering. We can also get you ready for interviews or big partnership pitches, whether they are over the phone or in person.

Philanthropy is an expected responsibility in sports these days. We work with you in your role as a professional athlete to partner with influential brands and non-profits that fit well as strategic partners. Our team is familiar with coordinating event logistics and marketing needs from start to finish for conferences, fundraisers and philanthropy initiatives. We offer strategic partnerships, event management, digital marketing, media outreach and more to make your initiatives, collaborations and events a success.
