Why subscribe?
Thank you for subscribing to this newsletter! My name is Katherine Rowe and I love everything about sports - the excitement of walking through the gates, the roar of the crowd, and listening to the analysis on sports radio or a podcast after the game.

For most of my life, sports created a special ‘home’ for me. Growing up as a military kid gave me the ability to live across the United States and the world, but it also meant uprooting my life every few years. No matter how far away from ‘home’ I have been, watching and being involved in sports has provided me with comfort, safety, and a sense of normalcy.
Through this love of sports, my desire to be a part of the industry began to shine through in my first year of graduate school at the University of Texas (🤘). As I made my own break into the sports industry after 7 years in the US Army, I learned very quickly that my path was going to be different than most. I did not fit the traditional mold and had to hustle through internships, projects, and networking to translate my past experience.
That hustle is exactly what fueled my desire to put together this newsletter. I want to elevate and amplify diverse voices and perspectives in the sports industry and provide a few tips and tricks I have learned to better position myself for a career in the space moving forward. I believe that sports have the power to change lives, bring people together for a common goal, and transcend language and cultural barriers.
