I had the pleasure of speaking with Brian Werner, President of Prospect Wire Baseball and USA Premier Baseball, about sports, travel, hotel partnerships, and career growth in the industry. Here are the key takeaways from our conversation:
How We Met & The Power of Relationships
🔹 We met at the Relationship Sports Conference at Notre Dame during a trade show.
🔹 The real connection? Over coffee at an airport—a reminder that some of the best business relationships start in casual settings.
🔹 Business is about friendships and mutual support, not just transactions.
Hotels & Sports Tournaments: What Matters Most?
🔹 Families traveling for youth sports value hotel amenities like breakfast, pools, and gyms.
🔹 Hotels that create family-friendly experiences (like movie nights) enhance guest satisfaction.
🔹 Flexible booking options are crucial, as teams often book last-minute due to tournament scheduling.
Brian’s Career: From Yankees to Youth Sports
🔹 Worked for the New York Yankees, and he shares his most cherished moment - Taking his grandfather to the 2000 Subway Series—his first-ever World Series game.
🔹 Now, as the President of Prospect Wire Baseball, he helps young athletes showcase their skills in tournaments across the U.S.
Advice for College Athletes & Future Industry Leaders
🔹 If you’re a student-athlete unsure of your career path, explore roles in sports operations, event planning, and hotel partnerships.
🔹 His idea that we should make happen- Industry conferences offering shadowing opportunities for students to learn about sports tourism firsthand.
🔹 Networking and relationships are everything—always be open to mentorship and connections.
Personal Side: Pets & Life Beyond Work
🔹 Brian’s a dog & cat person, sharing life with Kita (his dog) & Bronx (his 15-year-old cat)—adopted because of fate (and the name “Bronx” as a Yankees fan!).
🔹 He believes in giving back to the next generation and encourages everyone to support and uplift young professionals.
✨ Biggest Takeaway: Success isn’t just about numbers—it’s about meaningful connections, teamwork, and making an impact.
