• Choosing the sports industry as my major at The Ohio State University is a decision rooted in both passion and purpose. Growing up, sports were more than entertainment for they were a source of inspiration, connection, and motivation. As I explored potential academic paths, the sports industry stood out as a field where energy, creativity, strategy, and culture blend. I realized it was exactly where I wanted to build my future. At Ohio State, a university deeply committed to athletics and innovation, I have found the perfect environment to develop my skills, expand my knowledge, and prepare for a career that excites me every day. My passion for motorsports, especially Formula One, played a major role in shaping this ambition. I started watching F1 about three years ago, and since then, it has become a dream of mine to work for Red Bull or even for Formula One itself one day. What drew me in wasn’t just the speed and competition, but the precision, teamwork, engineering excellence, and global impact that define the sport. Red Bull in particular, represents bold creativity and high qualities I deeply admire. Their approach to branding, innovation, and storytelling goes beyond racing. They’ve built a culture that resonates across the world, and the idea of contributing to an organization like that excites me immensely. Working in Formula One requires understanding not only athletics but also marketing, management, and communication, all essential in building a global sports brand. That is why I want to gain experience in these areas, especially through a summer internship. As a student, I am eager to explore the business side of the sports industry more deeply. I want to learn how major organizations develop their brands, engage audiences, make strategic decisions, and turn athletic performance into worldwide influence. An internship that allows me to study marketing strategies and management practices hands-on would be an invaluable step toward achieving my long-term goals. Ultimately, choosing the sports industry as my major is about aligning my education with my passion. I want to be a part of something dynamic and impactful, something that inspires me the way F1 has since I first discovered it. With Ohio State’s resources, my growing knowledge of the industry, and a drive to learn and grow, I am determined to pursue opportunities that will help me turn my ambitions into reality. My dream is to contribute to the world of sports at the highest level, and I believe I’m on the right path to make that happen.
