“My interaction with professionals from the commercial sports industry has taught me a lot. They are frustrated with the lack of professional sophistication, sales experience, communication skills, leadership ability and independence of new college graduates. I took those complaints seriously and implemented programs at I.U. to teach these and other skills to my students. I wanted to make a more significant difference so now I teach students across the country to be accountable and proactive while they are still in college to get a head start on the competition in their pursuit of their personal and professional goals!” --Dr. Gary Sailes
