My good friend Willy Badger informs me that he has added his name to a renowned online education service called: Sports Management Worldwide. Working with Willing, SMW will officially begin operations in Japan on July 15 with the launch of its Japanese-language Web site (www.smwwjapan.com), SMWW Japan Operations head Willy Badger, which was announced on
July 12th.
Sports
Management Worldwide, which is based in the United States, was founded
in 2003 by Dr. Lynn Lashbrook, who created the first ever online sports
career training company with a mission to educate and mentor future
sports business executives. SMWW trains thousands of students every
year for sports business careers in more than 100 countries.
SMWW
will offer its first online course for Japanese students beginning on
Sept. 22. The Japanese Baseball Expert Course will feature experts from
the field of journalism and pro sports and help Japanese-speaking
students get closer to starting a career as a:
•Team interpreter for the MLB and NPB
• Sports tour guide
• Individual player expert
• Merchandiser for pro sports teams in Japan and throughout the world
• Translator for a variety of sports-related companies
The
Japanese Baseball Expert Course will have Japanese-speaking students
select the field in which they wish to gain expertise and guide them on
their journey to finding a new career in sports.
On
completion of the course, the student’s names and profiles will be
added to SMWW’s sports database, which will be available to sports
teams in North America, Japan and the rest of the world. Teams can
search for qualified Japanese candidates for a variety of roles they
may be seeking to fill.
