The sport industry is changing fast (!) and some of the jobs students will have five or ten years from now may not even exist today.

In this episode of Chasing a Roster Spot, Kolby Wohl and Luke Short sit down with Keegan Brown, Director of Roster Management for Kentucky Men’s Basketball. They explore how you prepare for a career when the industry (and the jobs within it) keep evolving.

Keegan shares his journey through video, player personnel, scouting, and more. He also discusses the skills that ultimately prepared him for his current role in roster management.

Then, in Office Hours, Professor Kwame Agyemang joins the conversation to unpack what Keegan’s journey can teach students and early-career professionals about developing transferable skills, staying adaptable, and preparing for where the sports industry is headed.

Chasing a Roster Spot is produced by the Future of Sport Institute at the University of Kentucky.
