When Bryana Novegil was in college, she had no idea where her career would take her.
She was a student-athlete.
Juggling classes.
Practices.
And whatever little downtime she could find.
Just trying to make it through the semester.
Then her professor made it mandatory to attend a career fair.
Which she didnโt think she had time for.
Of course!
โLooking back, that day changed everything.โ
Whatโd she realize?
Sometimes the opportunities we donโt want to pursue are the ones that shape our future.
Since then, sheโs taken a few things that have helped her build a career in the sports industry.
And they can spark yours too:
1. Say yes to opportunities.
Even if they donโt seem like a perfect fit.
The best paths arenโt always obvious.
2. Be confident in the room.
Youโre there for a reason.
So show up as if you belong.
And if someone doesnโt choose you?
You can hop into a shorter line somewhere else.
3. Network intentionally.
Shake hands.
Introduce yourself.
And leave an impression.
Bryana went to the least popular booth at the fair.
And pitched them with honesty.
She said, โIโm looking for an opportunity.
And the other lines here โฆ
Theyโre long.
Nobodyโs taking a shot on you.
I want to invest in your organization.
I know I can bring value to it.โ
4. Remember your โwhyโ.
For Bryana, itโs family.
Community.
And the joy of working in an industry she loves.
Your โwhyโ keeps you going.
Especially on the tough days.
And finally, donโt be defined by your title.
Your career is what you do.
But itโs not who you are.
If youโre starting out,
looking to transition,
or even wondering if this industry is for you,
you also belong here.
Every experience.
Every setback.
Every step forward.
Itโs all part of the journey.
