Career Change Testimonial

Kristen Mosley Head of North American Sports Marketing Footlocker

"CJ was incredibly helpful when I transitioned from corporate banking to sports management. It was reassuring to know that someone else had successfully made a similar switch. He provided valuable insights on how to network with the right people and the specific internship roles that best suited my skill set. We've stayed in contact over the years, and I know he's just as eager now as he was then to see me succeed and support my development. I’m thankful that he was a part of my journey early on."

Jakira White Manager, Digital Media Partnerships Baltimore Ravens

“CJ is a fantastic mentor and has a strong passion for developing people and helping them reach their goals. He took the time to invest in my career and ensured my professional and personal goals were always top of mind. CJ provides constructive feedback in a way that is honest and motivating and continuously encourages his mentees and clients to be the best they can be.

Not only is CJ a great leader, but he is also extremely knowledgeable in different areas of the sports business. CJ is successful in what he does because of his ability to build and maintain strong and trusting relationships with his mentees, clients, and colleagues which is something that I have learned from him as well. He is extremely well connected within the sports industry and has introduced me to several people in the industry that I have had the pleasure to network with. 

During my time connecting with CJ, I was able to land a job at the Baltimore Ravens as Manager, Digital Media Sponsorships. To this day, I am still able to reach out to CJ whenever I find myself needing support or feedback in my career. If you are looking to break into the sports industry or even grow in the industry, CJ is a great person to know and learn from."

Internship Testimonial

Lennard Long Communications Consultant Wells Fargo

I met CJ Simmons shortly after graduating from college. As a former collegiate athlete, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in sports, but I needed to figure out how to leverage my athletic experience and past work experiences. CJ helped me land my first job out of college with Monumental Sports by guiding me on effectively highlighting my strengths and experiences.

Even after transitioning out of the sports industry, CJ has been instrumental in helping me navigate the corporate world. His personal experiences and practical advice have been invaluable, helping me develop crucial skills in leadership and strategic thinking.

Thanks to CJ’s guidance, I have achieved several key milestones in my career, including turning a job that I felt was not for me into a job that will help me propel my career. His efforts have truly been a cornerstone of my professional growth.

I highly recommend CJ Simmons to anyone seeking career advice and support. His expertise and dedication can make a significant difference in your career journey.

Business Opportunity Testimonial

T.J. Baker aka DJ JFK Founder & CEO Stay Hostin’ Entertainment

He just knows how to connect the dots.......

Imagine being new to a city and new to an area and you are just trying to extend your reach, well that was me! I came to a BSP Atlanta meeting and CJ was the President. He knew that Georgia Tech was coming to the meeting and he knew that they were looking to make changes to the entertainment. He knew I was into sports hosting, DJing, and sports media! Literally, the introduction was less than 15 seconds, where he said, "I know you all could benefit from each other!" We are NOW going into year two with our partnership with Georgia Tech and it has been amazing. That door and so many others from Atlanta, to the DMV have been opened and supported by my guy CJ! Thank you bro always!
