This post on the MSBA is obviously an advertisement for the business, but after being in the sports arena for over 20 years as a player and coach, I know how important it is to have mentorship and connections when you are attempting to break into the various ranks available in the world of sports.
The MSBA platform is a model that could be implemented wherever there are professional sports teams, or sports programs that generate a lot of media and interest.
Use the Source Link to read about the program. Right now it’s only in Manhattan but I have to imagine the program will begin to expand into the major cities soon. They are currently accepting applications.
