The past year has been busy for Race Across America (RAAM) luminary Marko Baloh (Slovenia). The seven-time RAAM finisher had a great race to close out his 2015 season by winning the overall and the 40-49 age category at the 24 Hour World Time Trial Championships last November in Borrego Springs, Calif., where he completed 502.1 miles at a 21.1 mph average. He then went on to place third in this year's Race Across America, finishing in 10 days, 8 hours and 52 minutes, for a 12.33 mph average. Baloh is returning to Borrego Springs to defend his title on November 4 and 5. Much like last year, the start list for this year's event reads like a RAAM start list with such names as Alberto Blanco (USA), Valerio Zamboni (Monaco), and Herman Bachmann (Switzerland). The women's field will be tough as well with RAAM legend Seana Hogan (USA) and former 24 Hour Mountain Bike World Champion Anna Mei (Italy) competing.

Sports Prep Star of the Week
Joe Curry, Folsom High School, Senior, Football
In his first varsity start at quarterback, Curry showed no signs of fear or uncertainty with the program's high-powered offense resting on his right arm. In fact, Curry turned in the second-best debut for any QB in Folsom history with 564 yards passing and six TDs. He connected on 35 of 42 passes and tossed all six of his scoring strikes in the first half as the Bulldogs opened up a 41-16 lead over Idaho state football power, Coeur d'Alene. Only Jake Browning's 689-yard, 10-TD performance in 2012 was a better first game for a Bulldogs' QB. And the 564 yards was the fourth-best effort in school history. Curry connected with nine different targets, but had his favorites in the opener. He hit sophomore Joe Ngata nine times for 139 yards, and senior Drake Stallworth had a career day with 10 receptions for 246 yards and four TDs, including a 77-yarder. Curry and the Bulldogs host Jesuit-Carmichael this week and play five of their first six games on the team's familiar blue turf where the latest Folsom QB will look to pile up more statistics and wins.

A Primer to Finding the Right Sports Career Job
By Andy Dolich
|
If you have thought about changing careers and believe you have what it takes to enter the world of sports business, here are a few tips.
In the early 1950s, Brooklyn Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley looked into his crystal ball and saw a future in which sports organizations would be run by professionally trained business and marketing managers. O'Malley and Clifford Brownell of Columbia University were colleagues who regularly discussed the business of baseball. O'Malley told Brownell the Dodgers lacked future leaders for the team's revenue-generating areas. The Dodgers and Columbia began to outline a master's program that would focus on key sports-business areas such as contract negotiation, ballpark operations, ticket sales, marketing, advertising, public relations and promotion.
When the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958 the program discussion ended. However, a doctoral student under Brownell at Columbia named James Mason had by then moved to Ohio University. There, Mason resuscitated the discussions with the Dodgers that led to launching the first sports-management master's curriculum in the U.S. in 1966.
As a 1971 graduate of the Ohio University program, I am amazed that there are now more than 350 educational programs training tomorrow's leaders in the world of sports. Then as now, the ongoing challenge for many graduates is finding viable positions and creating road maps for career advancement.
In a recent talk at a top-10 MBA program, a student asked me what was the one career lesson I learned that could translate to their sports career pursuit. My response: "Subtract the one." The puzzled student said, "What the heck does that mean?" She was going to begin her career at $135,000 working for a Fortune 100 tech giant. "If you want to work in sports, just subtract the one from the first part of your salary [$35,000] in the world of sports," I responded.
I advise many aspiring sports careerists on paths they might follow to maximize their passion, skill set, education, life-work balance, upward mobility, opportunity and bank balance. The thought process from many is that professional team sports is the place to be. The 122 franchises that make up the big four pro sports leagues afford many career opportunities. But today, the three most exciting, dynamic and active career adventures will be found outside the pro sports franchise environment:
1. The business of collegiate athletics. Changes in the world of collegiate athletics are moving at warp speed with a future that is as exciting and financially rewarding as any discipline in the sports world. Athletic department business models are changing to meet the demands of increased revenue needs. University presidents are running complex businesses, and the old models are being changed around the country.
Collegiate athletic commerce is big business, with close to 2,000 athletic departments throughout the U.S. garnering a total of $25.5 billion in media rights and attracting over 190 million fans. The boom is being fueled by the rise of the multiplatform digital network (e.g., PAC-12 and Big 10 networks); video on demand; live streaming; new facility construction; conference realignment; new companies focusing on fan segmentation, fan engagement and analytics; and the growth of dynamic pricing and paperless ticketing.
The University of San Francisco recently embarked on a new 100% online focused master's degree program in the business of collegiate sports. This customized curriculum focuses on the broadcast and digital networks, branding and marketing agencies, conference offices, ticketing solution agencies, retail and merchandising partners, sponsorship firms, sports technology businesses, and collegiate licensing companies that make up the broader collegiate athletics industry. (For more information, visit usfca.edu.)
Schools large and small are realizing that campuswide revenue-generating business strategy is the way to go. There is an increasing demand for skilled, educated professionals ready to tackle the dynamic changes occurring in the intercollegiate marketplace.
2. Tech goliaths. Many of these billion-dollar businesses are just now figuring out the lure of sports in building future user loyalty. If you have a sports business background, they will be looking for you. There are few if any stock options for employees who work in pro sports. In the tech business you may get rich and buy your own franchise -- think Steve Ballmer, Vivek Ranadiv�, Mark Cuban.
We live in the center of innovation in Northern California. The multiplatform digital delivery of sports on a growing global basis is showing these companies there is gold in sports. For the most part, sports fans stay loyal to their teams and leagues, and that avidity is a perfect match to their favorite forms of technology.
3. Global sports organizations. Sports has joined the global languages of science, religion, art and music. Olympics, World Cups, team ownership and broadcast networks are shrinking the sports world. If I were entering the business today, I would focus on becoming fluent in at least one other language. If you are a U.S.-based sports manager with a sense of adventure, the opportunities are immense. Join the sports business, see the world!
The seeds of innovation that Walter O'Malley planted have matured into a vast educational network of institutions that are training the future leaders of the sports industry.
