Summary: On the <a title="WorkinSports Blog" href="http://workinsports.com/blog">WorkinSports blog</a> we spend a great deal of time discussing how to land your first job in the sports industry, but in this video we're going one step deeper to discuss what you should do after you land your first job!<br> <br> <br> WIS Secret to Advancing in Sports Careers<br> <br> // <br> <br> <br> <br> Video Transcript for "The Secret to Advancing in Your Sports Career"<br> <a title="Brian Clapp on Linkedin" href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=21331758" target="_blank">Brian Clapp, WorkinSports.com Director of Content</a>: On the Work in Sports blog we often share pieces of advice for getting your first job in the sports industry. That makes sense to us, because the first one is absolutely the hardest one to get...but that is not what we are going to discuss today.<br> <br> Today we're talking about how to advance your sports career after you get that first opportunity.<br> <br> <br> <br> When I first started at CNN, I still remember being this crazy bundle of energy, just so excited to show up to work everyday and show my badge to the security guard like, "I'm allowed to go in here, they are going to let me in here, I work...here!" I was just so proud.<br> <br> I remember approaching one of our lead anchors, a guy by the name of Bob Lorenz, and asking him what advice he had for someone like me, just starting their sports career and looking to make the right name for myself. I still remember to this day exactly what he said to me, and it's one of the greatest pieces of advice I've ever been given:<br> <br> "You have to bring the same level of focus and dedication to the little tasks you are assigned, like running teleprompter, as you would to the big tasks you are assigned, like helping to cover some breaking news story."<br> <br> That advice has resonated with me to this day, the concept of bringing a consistent level of performance to every task, every day. That is what will make managers notice you and know you are reliable no mater what the assignment.<br> <br> That is the secret that will get you noticed, and help you advance far in your sports career.
