While the following advice may seem obvious to many, it may be useful to some. After all, I remember back in B.I. times (Before Internet), I didn’t realize the wealth of open sports writing positions listed in Editor and Publisher magazine until someone told me.
Today, many sports careers have publications or associations that feature job listings on their web sites. For instance, the Associated Press Sports Editors maintain a popular job board for sports writers and editors.
If you are interested in being a trainer, the National Athletic Trainers Association offers a career center. For Football coaches, the American Football Coaches Association maintains a job board.
Just about any sports career you can think of has a trade group or publication that lists open positions. If you can’t find such a site for the job you’re interested in, let me know and I’ll try to see if I have any better luck.
