What I liked

I think OfficialVisit is a great place to really hone your skills and get some experience working in the sports industry, particularly on the marketing and/or content creation. The top thing that I would say is beneficial is the amount of creative license you can have on different projects as well as your chance to meet a lot of different former and current players at FBS schools! My coolest experiences up to this point, include interviewing Anthony Gordon (former WSU QB), Kuony Deng (current Cal LB) as well as being on a call with Justin Herbert! Moreover, it's one of the very few jobs where you can work closely, as well as have a say, with a president/CEO of the company.

What I wish was different

For one, if you're looking for a high-paying job/opportunity, this just isn't it. Another thing: all work would be entirely online. For me, that hasn't been a problem but I feel certain people would prefer to work in person. Sometimes the work you are doing for your projects can be tedious, but the amount varies depending on what projects you have undertaken.

Advice

Take advantage of all the opportunities you have to develop and showcase your skills. This will be most beneficial to your careers in the future.

College Intern

January - May 2019 • Philadelphia, PA

What I liked

My experience working at OfficialVisit was nothing short of excellent. The OfficialVisit team took the time to teach me about the sports industry and gave me tasks that allowed me to have a diversified experience. I began working with Excel, inputting coaching history data in to a spreadsheet, and by the end of my internship, I was working through social media, reaching out to sports photographers. One thing that stood out about the OfficialVisit team was that they always followed through on everything we discussed. Overall, I had a fantastic experience interning at OfficialVisit and would recommend it to anyone looking for a college internship.

What I wish was different

I would have liked to be able to work in-person at times, but OfficialVisit has an effective remotely distributed work environment so I did not mind too much. Although communication was not as simple as in-person contact would be, they were always fast to respond and left little to stress about.

Advice

Take advantage of the great insights provided by the OfficialVisit team, especially those pertaining to the sports industry. With the various tasks you will receive, make sure to get as much out of them as you can and you will leave this internship with multiple new or strengthened skills.
