Just a few short years ago Amanda Dinkel was in college at North Carolina State, studying Sports Management with a dream shared by many others; to work in the NFL.
Today, Dinkel has made her dream come true, working for the Atlanta Falcons as a Community Relations Coordinator, and she gives much of the credit to attending the SMWW NFL Combine Career Conference.
“I was a young sports professional still in college, knowing I needed to network and meet more people in the industry,” recalls Dinkel. “At the SMWW NFL Combine Career Conference I was surrounded by passionate sports professionals of all experience levels, and I made it my goal to network and learn from as many people as possible.”
All that networking and learning from industry experts resulted in the chance of a lifetime for Dinkel, an internship with the Carolina Panthers.
“I secured an internship in the community relations department of the Carolina Panthers through networking I did at the conference, I also volunteered at all their home games and then after that was done, I was able to get a 10-month full time internship with the Indianapolis Colts through the summer and the next season.
“After my internships, I landed a job with the Atlanta Falcons and couldn’t be happier. These opportunities came because of the networking I was able to do at the SMWW NFL Combine Career Conference”
This year’s SMWW NFL Combine Career Conference, held March 2nd-4th at the J.W. Marriott in downtown Indianapolis, has another group of all-star panelists including ESPN Insider Adam Schefter, Miami Dolphins Executive Mike Tannenbaum, Bleacher Reports Mike Tanier, Sports Agents Kelli Masters and Kristen Kuliga, Jacksonville Jaguars Mike Stoeber and many more.
