My First Job In Sports
As a leader in Sports Market Analytics, SBRnet has always prioritized the ability to share industry knowledge with students/young professionals. Since the start of the pandemic, it has been harder than ever for students to connect with professionals. The My First Job In Sports podcast was created to bring together industry professionals and students pursuing a career in sports. That way, not only would professionals be able to share what they wish they knew prior, but students will also be well prepared and know what to expect once they obtain that first job in sports.

He has turned this skill into a practical platform for his first job in sports with the Sacramento Kings and then with Austin FC. Luca also discussed the value of networking and establishing a relationship with a mentor in the pursuit of his first position and current role.
