There’s a part of being a student-athlete people don’t see. Early mornings. Late nights.
Film, lifts, classes, travel. Repeat.

It’s not just about competing — it’s about learning how to handle responsibility, pressure, and expectations all while being a student.

That’s what carries forward long after the game ends.
That’s what makes them different.

At Podium X, we see the hard work being done. And we value all of it.

It’s no secret – recent grads are facing one of the toughest job markets in recent history. Despite impressive resumes and degrees, many student-athletes are hitting a wall when it comes to landing interviews, let alone offers. Traditional job boards are overcrowded.

A message from Audrey:

Another great campus visit in the books!

I traveled to San Diego to spend time with the San Diego State University sophomore and junior student-athletes as part of the Aztecs Going Pro (AGP) program, helping them prepare for their career fair next week!

Last week, we met virtually to build out their Podium X profiles, and on Monday, we took those profiles and turned them into polished, professional resumes. With Podium X’s resume generator, we created 100+ resumes in one night!

It was also great to finally meet Raquel Orozco in person, who has been an incredible support to us through our B.A.T. Partnership.

Huge thank you to Brenden Hill and Khori Cranford for having me and being so welcoming. They are doing incredible work in San Diego to support their student-athletes. Excited to keep building and growing this partnership!

Is the traditional ‘entry-level’ hiring model truly serving employers and candidates? The common requirement of ‘1-3 years of experience’ often misses the mark, especially for student-athletes whose valuable skills aren’t reflected in typical resumes.

Key insights:
- Experience isn’t the only indicator of potential; traits like accountability, resilience, and teamwork matter more.
- Athletic experience fosters these essential soft skills through discipline, performance under pressure, and accountability.
- Recognizing athletic experience as legitimate work experience can expand talent pools and reduce attrition.

Valuing these qualities can transform hiring practices - moving from a focus on where someone has worked to who they truly are. It’s time to rethink how we define early-career readiness.

What are your thoughts on broadening the criteria for entry-level roles? Could this approach unlock more high-potential talent?
