Our complete sports and entertainment marketing curriculum is available as a Common Cartridge file, that instructors can import into their school’s LMS platform. This file includes the entire Business of Sports & Education text book, quizzes, assignments, projects, case studies, and more!
Supported LMS platforms include Canvas, Schoology, Blackboard and any platform that uses the Common Cartridge standard.
#1 Industry Supported Curriculum
Chris Lindauer, President of Sports Career Consulting, spent nearly a decade working in sports before founding the company. Each year, he leans on the expertise of his vast network of industry professionals to help shape course materials to ensure the content provides the best possible reflection of true industry practice.
“Any time I talk with an educator who is 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!”
