Welcome to CareerBall

CareerBall a good game to learn—fun, exciting, fast-paced, high-scoring, competitive… and the best part? You’re never too young to learn it! CareerBall is what you learn to play after you’ve mastered competitive baseball, football, or basketball (and any sport that has a ball, a court, a field, a pool, or even a coach), but long before you get to play the game called PayCheckBall—the game that pays the bills, fuels the car, stocks the refrigerator, and lets you move out of your parents’ house.

The good news/bad news part of this blog and my book, CareerBall, is pretty simple: Being a competitive athlete most of your life thus far has provided you with a slew of valuable ”soft skills” that are easily transferred to the workplace, and you’re about to learn what it takes to make the most of this transition. But, sadly, being a highly competitive athlete has also left you somewhat unprepared, or “behind-the-curve” in your job search and career prep skills.

Follow this blog and almost every day you will get a small dose of insight into what makes up an athlete's DNA, learn some of the steps you can take improve your own persoanl career development, and learn about the latest employment trends emerging in this new marketplace. Let's pay some CareerBall!
