You’re a long way off, but it’s good that you’re already thinking about your career. Take a look at the internships that the NFL has listed right now, and use those as guidelines as you start thinking about college. Carrying towels might seem like a good idea, but you’re better off by offering some real value. If you’re a standout student with an interest in the NFL, they’ll be much more likely to hire you. They have plenty of people to carry sweaty towels.

I am a measely high school sophomore who lives, breathes, eats, drinks, dreams (and a few other bodily functions it would be uncivilized to mention here) sports. Unbelievably, I have no trouble maintaining excellent grades in a school ranked nationally for its math and science whiz kids. I would do almost anything to be able to intern for a sports team or ESPN. My particular interests are in basketball, football and baseball. I live in Delaware, close to Philadelphia and within 2 hrs of New York. I read that some sports venues would consider one day internship experiences (trust me, I would love longer)and, needless ro say, I would do it for free. Any ideas???

Thanks for your time and any info you can provide to help me get a “foot” in the door.

Oh, did I mention I would be willing to carry the players’ towels?????
