This is probably just a silly pipe dream, but maybe someone on here can help. For the longest time since I was young I’ve always wanted to work with soccer cleats. The idea of bringing out new cleats to market and potentially working with players to design them would be a dream come true. Unfortunately I have zero graphic design talent, but I have some biometrics experience and project management experience. Anyone know what kind of position would be open at Nike or adidas, etc?

It’s not silly! you just need to take a step back and articulate your goal more clearly and chart a path from there.

Rather than trying to jump straight into the niche goal you laid out - I’d think more expansively about your motivation - is it a love of soccer? desire to be around pro athletes? The idea of launching products to inspire a new generation of athletes? Some combination of those?

Then I would consider a much wider universe of opportunities including the 2 companies you mentioned but also other athletic apparel companies, fashion companies, footwear companies, other best-in-class marketing companies, fitness companies, etc. to get the skills & exposure you need. You could also consider sports teams / franchises, sports media & entertainment, etc. Then you can lay out a couple different paths from where you are now to where you want to go.

I had a very similar crazy ambition in the fashion industry and went through a similar thought process. Pretty happy with the path I’m on now!!

This was so helpful thank you! Usually I would try to connect with a mentor in the industry I’m interested in, but I literally have no idea what position it is I would even look at😂

Best of luck! Working around soccer is a dream of mine too, and I hope you’re able to pursue yours!
