Program Highlights

Over the course of two weeks, students will plunge into the sports industry, using entrepreneurial concepts to begin building a product or service that solves problems in the local and national world of sports. In between site visits of San Antonio sports organizations and meetings with real-world professionals in the industry, students will live as a Trinity Tiger, from learning from our award-winning faculty to eating meals in Mabee Dining Hall and sleeping in one of our 11 residence halls on campus.
