Pursuing his Passion for Sports

You don’t have to be a professional athlete to make your career in sports. Just ask Nick Rush, who found exactly what he was looking for at Manchester. “I majored in sport management because I can never really see myself outside of sports,” Nick says. His second major in marketing will round out his skill set and prepare him to work in the industry he loves.

A three-sport athlete in high school, Nick continued his athletic career with MU’s baseball team and led this year in RBIs and slugging percentage. He aspires to work in an off-the-field role such as administration or marketing for a professional sports league such as Major League Baseball.
