'Business of Sports' Seminar Is More Than Just For Kicks

This free seminar in Rancho Penasquitos offers locals a glimpse into fun careers like photo journalism and even NFL public relations.

Some people are meant to star in the game, and others? They talk about the action.

But being "off the field" can be just as exciting as being on. And tonight, a free sports career seminar will give young students the opportunity to explore sports careers that don't come with a helmet or facemask.

Twelve representatives from various sports jobs will be sharing their journey and answering questions Tuesday night at the DoubleTree by Hilton Golf Resort in Rancho Penasquitos.
