This will be what it’s going to take for me in order to be a sports management major and possibly one of the best in the business if I put forth all the hard work and effort I’m capable of doing. It is one of the harder majors to complete and pass, but if you're willing to do everything possible to make it work then by golly you should. This major may be stressful, overwhelming, and by no doubt a pain in the butt when the season kicks into full gear and starts rolling you get this feeling that I can’t really explain it’s just one of those things you have to feel for yourself.

However ESPN shows in "The Future of Sports Media." in Futurist Vol 41 by Irving Rein that “There is probably no better place to examine the media landscape in the next decades than the sports arena, especially the first big players in this highly lucrative, multibillion-dollar worldwide …show more content…
Sometimes this causes health problems towards the coaches forcing them into medical leave. Now if you're a high division one coach who is winning and knows how to handle most things, then they won’t have to worry about medical problems or take a break from the job. It’s understandable that you have a family issue or something, but in most instances the coaches who have been doing this for a long time, knows how to handle the stress and pressure that comes along with it. When you first start off as a coach these are things that you learn to grasp so that later on in life you know what to do. Here is a prime example from: “Pressure on Coaches Takes a Heavy Toll” in Orange County Register by Smith she explains “Coaches, particularly in the four major pro leagues and NCAA Division I football and men's basketball, have long pushed themselves to exhaustion to stay off the hot seat and avoid a pink slip.” (par 5) This is difficult because when you do so much like this it is important to remain calm and do everything that you can in order to stay on top. Once you get in the hot seat it’s hard to get out because you have to prove yourself worthy enough to still be in that position of coaching and if you're not they don’t have a problem letting you go. For example the coach at a high major division one program like Syracuse; that coach is on the hot seat because of what he did

Then there is practice after classes, and sometime between then and bedtime we have to find time to do homework. On top of everything else, we are required to have six hours of study hall a week; that, along with keeping our GPA above a 3.2, is mandatory. Now don’t get me wrong...playing sports in college is a huge privilege, and I love having the title of “Student Athlete;” but it’s also the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, and our season hasn’t even started yet!…

Although it may look like they live elegant lives their job comes with many disadvantages as well. I believe athletes deserve what they earn because while playing their sports injuries are a constant threat that can end or alter their lives, many jobs wouldn’t exist without them, also their salaries need to supply them past their 5-15 year careers.…
