My name is Kol Lewis and I am a senior at the University of Tampa. I am pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Sport Management with a minor in Communications. By pursuing the sports management route, my ultimate goal is to work within a Sports Strategy & Administration department for a professional sports organization.
I’ve always been passionate about sports. Since the age of 8, I have been playing basketball, soccer, and golf, increasing my love for each sport year by year. I was even able to play all three sports during high school. As my love for these sports grew, I began to understand how valuable sports can be to children and adults. They teach life lessons both on and off the field. My deep-rooted love for spots and seeing what a positive impact they have on people drove me towards pursuing a degree in sports management when it was time to attend a university.
I grew up in a small suburban town called Mamaroneck, not too far from NYC. Back at home, I lived with my sister, parents, and my grandmother. Being from New York, I hold a lot of love for their sports teams. The New York Knicks, New York Jets, New York Mets, and Liverpool FC all hold a special place in my heart. Life as a New York sports fan has its ups and downs, but definitely more downs. In my lifetime, I have only seen one championship appearance from my favorite sports teams. But that's what being a true sports fan is about, loving your team through the ups and downs!
In my free time, I still try to play sports. I love to play basketball and golf for fun with friends as a way to unwind. I also enjoy getting a cardio workout in. Since moving to Tampa, I have picked up fishing as a new hobby too. i
I am so appreciative of the Knox Sports team for bringing me on board this summer and can’t wait to learn the ins and outs of sports partnerships. Being that I want to end up working for a professional sports organization in the long run, I am excited to learn how business is done on the other side of sports.
