Sports Management Q&A from the NBA

The sports industry is still one of the more highly sought after career spots for those with love for the games played. To stay competitive, education is a great option.

We recently chatted with Tommy Sheppard, Vice President of Basketball Administration for the Washington Wizards. He’s a member for the Industry Advisory Council (IAC) for American Public University. His guidance is utilized to strengthen the sports management programs and curriculum at APU. It was in this capacity that we interviewed him on the latest techniques for managing a professional sports franchise. How do you think education plays a role in his position, and did you know that the players can benefit from taking classes?

Take a listen to the great Q&A with Sheppard below to learn more about how big a role education can play for sports managers and players.
