[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] A CEO of a $100B+ market cap company once told me that he loves to hire one-time student athletes. He’s exact words were “they know how to compete and succeed, and they know how to do it on a team, without just stepping over their peers.” He didn’t mention the musical theater or band kids. [/quote] I don't hire people right out of college (thank goodness) but I have hired several people I found out later were very serious musicians growing up - they tend to have a great work ethic, work well as a team (what is an orchestra if not a team) and also have good people skills. But I do agree we live in a very sports-focused culture[/quote] This is not unique to people in athletics. Anyone who has worked on a productive team shares these traits.[/quote]
