What do Our Teachers Have to Say?

“Whenever I talk with an educator teaching marketing at the high school level, I always encourage them to check out Sports Career Consulting. From the weekly current events, up-to-date curriculum, real-world connections, and access to numerous engaging lesson plans and activities, the material is incredibly valuable. However, what I love most is that Chris is always willing to assist in any way possible to help enhance the experience for our students. I know my students always enjoy hearing him talk during our virtual guest speaking events and learn a lot from Chris about not only finding success in the sports industry but also in life!”
