Hi,

I hope that you are well and I appreciate your reading this. With the exception of two summer internships at a law firm, I've made my living playing basketball in Germany and Spain since graduating from in 2005. I graduated from an Ivy institution with a 3.0 and played sports there as well. I just took the GMATS and. I've run into a bit of a problem in that I don't know where to go for recommendations. Most of my bosses (coaches) don't speak English very well and as nice as most of them have been I don't have alot of confidence in their ability to produce a high quality essay. Does anyone have any suggestions? Who else can I turn to for a respectable recommendation?

Also, I've run into a bit of a problem with my resume. Over the course of my 5-yr career I've played for 6 teams and aside from wins and losses and statistics I have no concrete data to offer. There are no special projects that I've managed, no promotions or managerial positions. My duties have been identical for each and every team.

That said, I was hoping someone could offer me some advice as to where I might want to look for possible recommendations and how I can put together an effective resume.

Again, thank you all for your time and thanks in advance for any input!

Best Regards

Hi Alex,

Thanks alot for taking the time to reply. I'll certainly take your advice on the recommendations. But could I trouble you for a bit of advice on my resume as well?

As I mentioned before, my background is definately non-traditional as far as mba hopefuls go. Over the course of my 5-yr career I've played for 6 teams and aside from wins and losses and statistics I have no concrete data to offer. There are no special projects that I've managed, no promotions or managerial positions. My duties have been identical for each and every team. And because I've played for a variety of teams with different circumstances, it's difficult to compare one season to the next. Moreover, should I list each and every team? Or should I just create one entry that includes all teams? Two entries ... one for each country?

I hope that you'll take the time to respond ... as my resume is looking might shabby :-S

Thanks very much for your time and take care
