Thanks for visiting us at our blog spot. For those unfamiliar with our company, Sports Career Consulting is a sports and entertainment marketing company located in Portland, Oregon. We provide sports and entertainment business education resources for high schools all over the United States.

Our programs help transform the traditional high school classroom into a live sports and entertainment business and marketing company in which students take an active, participating role in promoting their high school sports and entertainment.

In March of 2009, we introduced a new format for the Business and Entertainment Blitz.  In an effort to share a broader industry perspective, the new format will feature several special “guest” bloggers with ties to the sports and entertainment industry who will be sharing their wisdom with our readers.  Upcoming posts will focus on content that provides readers with an insider’s look at the business of sports and entertainment as well as helpful career advice.
