This episode features Sam Reck who is currently an entertainment associate at Chicago Bulls. Sam has made his mark in the sports industry thanks to the University of Michigan where he was more privy to the idea of actually working in sports. From taking on various internships throughout his undergrad and his graduate career at U of M, he has not skipped a beat to stay moving in the communications and fan experience arena in sports. Sam dives into his journey to the Chicago Bulls which was a tough road but he kept going and showing up throughout the uncomfortable situations, turning down a job offer, dealing with the pandemic and staying motivated, and most importantly the advice he has for anyone else wanting to get started in sports. Sam's social links:    Twitter: https://twitter.com/MrSamReck12 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samreck96/ If you would like to be a guest, fill this out: https://bit.ly/TRC_GuestForm  Rookie Contract social links: https://linktr.ee/TheRookieContract Kate's social links:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/katenorum   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katenorum/ Music: Synapse by Shane Ivers https://www.silvermansound.com     Please make sure to share the love of The Rookie Contract on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or wherever else you listen.
