Alex Gent '25, a soccer athlete, chose his major because he loves sports and wants a career that he'll love.
Benefits of the major
"What stands out for this program is the teachers."
Alex says he's getting prepared to work "in any management position" in sports, entertainment, or the arts, including president or owner. "I enjoy analyzing and watching soccer, so I can definitely see myself in analysis and running an analysis department."
"I think this degree really prepares me to be the best version of myself. I think it really helps prepare me for the struggles and the situations that we might face in the real world in a career."
His required internship was a great experience and networking opportunity. A high point was working on the MLS All-Star Game. He was at D.C. United for the summer and will return there (Washington, D.C.), to do analysis that helps the team strategically prepare for games.
