The program offers a collegiate-level introduction to the sports business, modeled closely on an NYU Stern Sports Marketing & Media course and led by an NYU Stern Professor and former NFL/NBA executive.
The Chicago Sports Business Bootcamp For Teens offers high school students an immersive, collegiate-level introduction to the business of sports. The program, developed by an NYU Stern Professor and former NFL/NBA executive, blends interactive classroom learning with real-world applications. Students engage in case studies, collaborative group projects, and benefit from guest speakers across the sports industry. Key activities include site visits to leading sports brands, corporate executive meetings, and tours of iconic Chicago stadiums and franchises. A significant outcome is the completion of a group capstone project, where students tackle a hands-on business challenge directly from the sports industry, providing a professional-grade experience that can aid in college admissions and career exploration. The program aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the sports industry's operations, diverse career paths, and opportunities for building professional connections.
A typical weekday includes breakfast, morning curriculum, lunch, a site visit and/or guest speaker, a city highlight, dinner, and an evening activity.
This program is ideal for motivated high school students (grades 9-12) who are passionate about the business of sports and aspire to pursue a career in sports management or related fields.
