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.

My First Job in Sports Episode 39 - Andrea Lattimore
Episode 39 of My First Job in Sports was a special one for a few reasons. This is one of our special Get in The Game editions of the MFJIS podcast. Regular co-host Dr. G. was busy with her full-time job at Temple University, so I invited my Get in the Game Sports Career Conference partner, Yussuf Khan, to join the show. The second reason this episode was very special was our interview with Andrea Lattimore. Andrea is the manager of Talent Acquisition Programs and Community Engagement at Acushnet Company, the maker of top-tier golf brands, including Titleist and FootJoy.
Saying that Andrea is “all in” underestimates her incredible accomplishments. The external partners she supports beyond her primary responsibilities include: The First Tee, PGA Works, Fore Hire, and Women In Golf Foundation (WIGF). Some of her recent achievements are being a featured panelist at PGA Works Beyond The Green and being appointed as an inaugural member of the Women in Sports Technology (WisT) HBCU Talent Pipeline Advisory Committee. Andrea’s career story is very non-linear, and she never imagined that golf would be her destination. She is a perfect example of how you never really know where your future will take you.
