Dynasty’s First Internship Class (Update)

Dynasty Athlete Representation

I am so happy that Matt persuaded me to make a public post about Dynasty Athlete Representation‘s new internship program. Without posting on the subject, we would not have received the great number of responses from an elite class of applicants that we did over this past week. Since April, I have sporadically received emails inquiring about a Dynasty internship position. Until about a month ago, Matt and I had no plans of bringing any additional help on board. But things have really picked up and Dynasty’s sudden growth is very welcome. Thus, last Monday, we asked all interested applicants to apply for a position in Dynasty’s first internship class.

The application deadline has passed. In the past week, with no advertising other than a post on this blog, Dynasty received well over 50 applications for 2 internship spots. All applicants were extremely qualified, making today’s cut very painful for Matthew and me. I would personally love to take half of the applicants on board, but that is obviously unrealistic.

At this point, 5 individuals have made it to the 2nd leg of the Dynasty internship application process. A phone interview will take place with each candidate at undisclosed time this week. Keep checking SportsAgentBlog.com – I Want to be a Sports Agent to see which 2 applicants will form Dynasty’s first internship class.
