My focus will be in sports marketing, events, and people that are part of the sports community.<br /><br />Sports marketing has been growing as an industry over the past 40 years. It is important to note that people like Mark McCormick of IMG, and others from around the world helped shape the industry and has provided entertainment for billions of people worldwide.<br /><br />At the present time there are over 200 countries that are members of the International Olympic Committee and that participate in either the summer or winter Olympic Games. The Olympic Games is the largest sports event in the world, with over 15.000 athletes competing in over 30 sports.<br /><br />Mark McCormick was an attorney that happened to be a friend of Arnold Palmer, the professional golfer.
