Heading into D1 next year and realizing how behind I am on the whole networking/career thing compared to non-athlete friends. Being in-season half the year doesn't exactly leave time for internships and LinkedIn. The frustrating part is that there are tons of alumni out there who played the same sport and eventually figured it out after college. But I feel like there's not a proper way to find them? School alumni directories don't let you filter by sport, and cold DMing people on LinkedIn can be viable but just hard to find them in the first place (unless you go through rosters one-by-one). Has anyone actually found a good way to reach their sports alumni network, or is it pretty much nonexistent? submitted by /u/Pleasant_Arrival_186 [link] [comments]
