This was my first week up to Portland and I am very excited
to start an internship that will blend two of my passions—MMA and the skills of
conflict resolution I have been practicing over the past year. I met Jason House and had an orientation around
the office and met the rest of his staff.
He discussed with me the basics of his job, what he does, and the path
he took to get to his current position.
I brought a list of questions to facilitate the initial sit down
meeting. We discussed the opportunities he had
available for me this summer and gave me options regarding which path I wanted
to pursue. I decided my focus would be
on the contract negotiation aspect for fighter contracts and sponsorship contracts
for the professional athletes. After the
orientation he assigned me a book to read before I return the following
week. The book is called: The Business
of Sports Agents (Edition 2) by Kenneth L. Shropshire and Timothy Davis.
