Today our Business of Sports classes had the incredible opportunity to welcome Stephen Feehan and Bruce Reicher, owners of Passion Pickleball!

They shared what it truly takes to run a professional sports business — from daily operations and branding to revenue generation, customer experience, and long-term growth. Students gained real insight into the challenges and rewards of building and managing a sports organization.

Now the real-world application begins.

Our students will be developing strategic marketing recommendations for Passion Pickleball and will present their ideas directly to Stephen and Bruce. Authentic audience. Professional expectations. Real feedback.

Experiences like this bring business education to life and challenge students to think like industry leaders.

Thank you to Stephen and Bruce for investing your time and expertise in our students!
