Employers looking to find the best “fits” for their organizations would be well served by focusing on both the academic achievement as well as the athletic experiences of their prospective employees.

Being part of a team, pushing oneself to personal limits physically and mentally, making sacrifices for the achievement of a common goal, are all shining examples of lessons learned on the fields/courts of college sports.
