“When trying to figure out how I could get my foot into the door even more with scouting, I stumbled across Mr. Kibble on LinkedIn at the beginning of 2020 while I was interning with the Jacksonville Jaguars in Ticket Sales/Member Experience. When reading about how this event provides an opportunity to gain verified numbers with laser testing for collegiate athletes and current/former professional athletes, I was extremely intrigued. Not only did the National Scouting Combine provide me with the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals, meet people with ties to the NFL/CFL, and work at a top-notch facility, but it also provided me with the tools and resources that have allowed me to progress in my career as an evaluator of talent. Mr. Kibble takes care of all of his interns/employees and treats you like family. You won’t regret working for the National Scouting Combine and I can promise you, if you’re determined, driven, and work hard, you’ll gain a lot from this experience. I can’t thank Mr. Kibble enough for what he’s done for me with my development.”
“Working for BSN helped me gain all the tools to be successful in the sports industry and real world. Jimmy let us “choose our own adventure” to help get the most out of our opportunity and improve our internship experience and more importantly the experience of college athletes. I still keep in touch with those guys and would highly encourage college students to get involved with BSN”
