In this episode, we talk with NFL Players Association Executive Associate Mark Cobb. We talked about the kind of internships the institution offers and the broad set of opportunities it grants. We spoke about the internship admission process and routines, and he kindly shared some tips for those interested in being part of the organization. We also talked about Mark's unique approach to the recruitment process and its benefits. If you enjoyed the show, please leave us a five-star iTunes review.  *********** "What is the point of being in the treasure house if you're not going to steal a few coins? If you are working downstairs in Former Players, why wouldn't you go downstairs to the next floor and find out what the Commercial people are doing? What is a Licensing Manager, what is that about? What is the difference between managing somebody's image and likeness vs. buying jerseys?" - Mark Cobb.  Mark Cobb has been an Executive Associate of the NFLPA for the last 11 years. An organization that is basically a labor union for NFL players, granting them their safety, health, benefits, etc. But the NFLPA is also known for having one of the most complete and resourceful internship programs in the industry. In Mark's words, "anything you would want to do in sports, we probably know somebody who is doing it."  For instance, the NFLPA has access to EA; they own a part of Madden.  One of the NFLPA internship policies is to get the internships involved in every activity of the organization. If there is an important meeting or conference call, the instruction is to include the interns. Make them part of everything to be prepared and have authentic experiences of how their work will look like in the future.  Mark also shared valuable information regarding students' applications, essays, and cover letters. We also talked about his unique approach to the hiring process. Mark enjoys talking with students and interacting with them, and he makes sure he replies to every email.  Tune in and listen to the experienced Mark Cobb, and enjoy his masterclass on putting the foot in the industry's door.  Resources:  NFLPA Website  Connect with Mark:  LinkedIn Email: mark.cobb@nflpa.com

NFLPA Internship program — Words of Old Wisdom NFLPA's Mark Cobb

As the drummer in Atlanta’s ’70s juggernaut Yacht Rock Revue, Mark Cobb performs for thousands of rabid fans every week. From the Irving Plaza in Manhattan to the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles, he brings to life the sounds of the most iconic studio drummers of all time — the Purdie shuffle, Russ Kunkel’s artful tom fills, Jeff Porcaro’s relentless grooves, Steve Gadd’s perfect precision — with stunning accuracy. He’s performed at the Rose Bowl, the College Football National Championship, the NCAA Final Four, for 35,000 fans on the 4th of July at Turner Field, and on music cruises with Kid Rock, Weezer, KISS, Train, Zac Brown Band, Dinosaur Jr., Emmylou Harris and Heart.  Mark’s infectious enthusiasm for music and drumming was heightened during his time at the prestigious Indiana University School of Music. However, it was not until after he received his degree and spent a year in Los Angeles that he grew into the seasoned player he is today. In this episode, Mark talks about:* The good, bad, and ugly of social media* Building a tribute band around a concept rather than an individual artist* Getting era-specific sounds out of backline kits  * Combining the styles and sounds of the era’s drummers into one setlist* How the rise of Yacht Rock Revue and the genre’s rise in popularity have fed each other Mark endorses Vic Firth sticks, Porter &amp; Davies, and Big Fat Snare Drum
