As an un-drafted NBA rookie (still only 29 so I think there's still a shot), I've noticed a huge correlation between sports and sales.
Maybe it's just the older white dudes who make a sports reference in every single team meeting before misogynistically apologizing to the women in the room as if they don't know what sports are, but I do think the competitive nature of sports translates really well to sales and a lot of those cliches are said for a good reason.
Are you an athlete and does that mindset from sports help you be a better salesperson? How so?
