What is GET IN THE GAME 101?

I (John Ross) was a lot like most of you… working a full-time job out of college and wondering how to chase my dream of working in the NBA. I googled, I volunteered, I learned… and eventually, I got my opportunity as a Video Intern and worked for the Portland Trail Blazers in Basketball Operations for 14+ seasons. I built GITG101 out of the the things I wish I had known and the lessons I learned along the way. We’re excited to have you here and be a part of your professional journey!

Here, you will find various articles and tips and interviews with other NBA employees to help you have the same opportunity to achieve your dream. We also offer 4 on-line courses throughout the year (NBA Training Camp, NBA Trade Deadline, NBA Draft Cohorts, and a Summer League Crash Course).
