Five reasons you should consider a former athlete as your next employee...
Over Achievers
Most athletes started playing their sport by the age of five or six. They have been winning and losing their entire life. They have learned how to eliminate external influences to win the game. They rise above the rest. |
Resilient By the time an athlete gets to a professional level and even a high school and college level, they have had their share of wins and loses. But, due to their resilience, they always get up and keep going because they don’t want to let down the team or the coach. This trait is transferred into the work place. This trait creates an employee who will find a way to win. |
Strong Communication Skills Athletes already have one of the toughest bosses around--their coach. They have learned how to receive and provide constructive feedback for the betterment of the team, and they thrive on clear expectations. |
Team Players, Outstanding Work Ethics, & Determined The ability to work with others toward a common goal is the definition of a team. Athletes have great determination to win and their good work ethics are traits that they never loose. All of these traits are good attributes for an employee. |
Excellent Time Management Skills
Athletes at all levels have a lot of responsibilities, including classes, studying, strength training, conditioning, practice, travel, family, finances, and lets not forget the games. These responsibilities require an athlete to be able to manage many responsibilities at once. With these demands of responsibilities, athletes have proven time management skills. |
