LT in Action – Ray Ferrari

At Orange County Soccer Club, I manage a team of 6 young sales professionals, and a group of college seniors who intern with us, teaching them valuable skills and mentoring them for a career in the sports industry. I also recently hosted a group of teens from the Ignite Leadership Institute at an OCSC game and gave a talk about leadership skills and life lessons that are valuable in my day to day work.

The LT Education day panel at Newport Harbour HS influenced me by showing me how smart, motivated, and eager to learn young people are in our community. It reminded me that I can have an impact on the youth through my job, just by sharing my experiences and being open to conversations with students who may reach out, and how big of a deal that can be for students looking ahead in life.
