Good question - let's handle it on this Work in Sports Podcast episode.Hi, everybody, I\u2019m Brian Clapp Director of Content for WorkinSports.com and this is the Work in Sports podcast\u2026I\u2019d be crazy not to talk tournament this morning. The Monday after Selection Sunday is a very special day in the sports world and should be a national holiday.In the spirit of such a joyous occasion, well that is unless you go to NC State or Clemson and are feeling a little left out, sorry about that, we have two really cool promos going on.Work in Sports Bracket Challenge on ESPN.comWork in Sports #JOBMADNESS Promo - 2 weeks, just $5The first one you have to earn.We\u2019ve created a Bracket Challenge on ESPN \u2013 the group name is WorkinSports #JobMadness \u00a0there are no spaces in WorkinSports, so it\u2019s WorkInSports #JobMadness \u2013 I will link to the group in the show notes for this episode, I\u2019ll post it in our private Facebook group and on Twitter\u2026if you still can\u2019t find it\u2026the internet is pretty tricky after all\u2026you can hit me up on LinkedIn.Here\u2019s the deal, I\u2019m going to create a bracket this morning. Zion. And at the end of the tournament. Zion. If you beat my bracket. Zion. \u00a0You\u2019ll get a free month at WorkinSports.com. Zion.What does that mean for you? \u2013 it means full access to 10,264 active sports jobs from thousands and thousands of different sports employers and the ability to apply with ease. Upload your resume and we\u2019ll match you to jobs your skill profile fits. Pretty magical right?Now about beating me in the bracket challenge.Two years ago we did this\u2026 and I came in tied for 370th.Last year\u2026 oh my, I think it was worse.So you don\u2019t have much to fear. The last time I won a bracket was in 1993 during my freshman year of college. Seriously. I remember it well, I had picked Jason Kidd\u2019s California Golden Bears to upset Grant Hill\u2019s Duke Blue Devils in the 2nd round\u2026 and had picked UNC to ultimately defeat Michigan in the Championship.That year I was a baller. This also shows how old I am, since both Jason Kidd and Grant Hill are now well into retirement. \u00a0This also began my theory that ball dominant guards control the NCAA tournament and top big men can be controlled easier than a top-notch guard. Which has led me to bank on Chris Paul\u2019s Wake Forest Deamon Deacons, Lonzo Balls UCLA Bruins, Penny Hardaway\u2019s Memphis Tigers, Damon Stoudamire\u2019s Arizona Wildcats\u2026hell even Steve Nash\u2019s Santa Clara Broncos I had pegged for upsets\u2026which actually worked out pretty well if you go back through the history books.My point is, my brackets always skew this direction\u2026 and it almost always fails me. I\u2019m learning from this that I am hella stubborn. I think it\u2019s time to give up on this theory of ball dominant guards and head to the wing. Hello Zion! Then again\u2026it; also means I probably have overvalued Murray State and their stud in the backcourt \u00a0Ja Morant.Alright, enough about the bracket --- if you don\u2019t want to wait for the tournament or risk your chances at beating me one on one\u2026 We also have a more straightforward approach \u2013 get 2 weeks of access to WorkinSports.com for just $5. Now that\u2019s easy.Head over to WorkinSports.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/d6dbe9fa-c297-4b0f-b6c6-3ac412f6504a/wispod-cover.png"}
