Why SLP exists

You need experience to get experience.

SLP is an early-career sports industry platform helping students, graduates and emerging professionals gain real experience through projects, internships and industry connections.

SLP / Build Experience.

“What have you actually done?”

Many people want to work in sports. Some study sports management or sports science. Others bring skills in business, marketing, media or technology. When they try to enter the industry, the same question appears: what have you actually done?

SLP exists to help close that gap. Projects, internships, fellowships and industry connections give emerging talent a way to build tangible experience before applying for formal roles. Career changers are welcome, and career stage matters more than age.

The goal is evidence: a useful deliverable, a portfolio you can explain and skills demonstrated through work. A profile or a completed project alone does not make someone job-ready. Readiness depends on the work, feedback, references and the role they want to pursue.
