DENVER, CO, UNITED STATES, December 13, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The game day pomp and pageantry, the traditions, the mascots, the cherished rivalries and the coveted trophies — it’s all just pure entertainment for folks watching from the stands or the comfort of a couch. But behind the scenes, there’s a very different team from the ones competing: the team that makes it all happen.
For Brandon Tosti, 18 years of working in the sports industry came with wins, losses and hard-earned perspective. And now, he takes readers inside the fast-paced, unpredictable business of sports in his new book, Bright Lights & Long Nights.
“My book is unique and focuses on the sports industry, not an individual athlete or famous coach,” Tosti explained. “The front office is filled with dedicated, hard-working individuals that no one hears about, and I want sports fans to understand the work it takes to make game days happen.”
A memoir woven with true stories from other members of the “team” and advice for those aspiring to work in the sports industry, Bright Lights & Long Nights takes the reader along for a captivating ride through Tosti’s nearly two decades in the sports industry. Calling it “the career book I needed when I was 22,” Tosti traces his path, beginning with grassroots event management that led to high school and college sporting events, to eventually working side by side with a professional team.
“My career path has been a wild ride filled with surprises, hard-to-believe stories, and a closet full of golf shirts,” Tosti writes in his book. “Did I swing and miss? You bet. Did I succeed? Sure. …Did I learn, have fun, and make memories for a lifetime? Absolutely!”
Alexander Wolff, former Sports Illustrated writer and author of Big Game, Small World said, “From campus days as a student manager, to stints at all levels of pro sports, to founding a sports-based nonprofit, Brandon Tosti has dreamed and lived the sporting life since he was a kid growing up in eastern Kentucky. In Bright Lights & Long Nights, he shares hard-won lessons from that career in the sports business and lays out what can happen when you lead with the heart while keeping your head. Anyone interested in making a life in sports, or simply curious about how teams and fans fill up arenas and stadiums, will find inspiration, fascinating stories, and valuable lessons in these pages.”
