Why athletes

College athletes already have the habits these roles need. Entry-level sales and recruiting reward consistency, coachability and resilience. Most players have years of practice at all three.

Consistency

Years of daily training translate into hitting daily activity targets.

Coachability

Used to film review and direct feedback, so call coaching isn't new.

Resilience

Losing and going again the next day is good preparation for rejection.

Competitiveness

Comfortable being measured, ranked and held to a number.
