What does it take to build a career in sports when you're not the one competing on the field—or on the track?
This week on Sports Without Borders, hosts Mark Mancini and Karla Vazquez welcome Carmen Carter, Founder and President of the National Motorsports Association, for an extended conversation about how motorsports is creating opportunities far beyond racing. Carter discusses the importance of STEM education, skilled trades, workforce development, and the many behind-the-scenes careers that keep one of the world's most technologically advanced sports moving forward.
The hosts also explore the growing need to prepare young people for careers throughout the sports industry, the future of motorsports, and why engineering, technology, and technical education are becoming increasingly important. With Carmen joining the conversation for two full segments, listeners get an in-depth look at an industry that offers thousands of career paths many fans never consider.
In Karla's Korner, Karla delivers an inspiring message titled "Chasing the Dream One Step At A Time: Women in Sports," encouraging women to pursue careers throughout the sports industry—not only as athletes, but also as executives, engineers, broadcasters, marketers, and leaders helping shape the future of sports.
Whether you're passionate about racing, interested in STEM, or exploring a career in sports, this episode demonstrates that success isn't always measured by crossing the finish line—sometimes it's built behind the scenes.
