ALEX SAPOSHNIK

ABOUT ME

My name is Alex Saposhnik and I'm a senior at the University of Michigan pursuing a dual degree in Business Administration and Sport Management. I'm currently the Head Student Manager for the Michigan Women's Basketball Team and previously interned for the past three years at NBA Summer League, where I was recognized as the Intern MVP in 2023. During the 2024 Summer League, I participated in Sports Business Classroom, a week-long immersive basketball experience, where I specialized in studying Salary Cap. On campus, I'm actively involved in the University of Michigan Sport Business Association (SBA) as the Co-Director of Research & Insights. 

​

I have a tremendous passion for basketball and am highly interested in working in the NBA. Through my current and past experiences, I've developed excellent skills in problem-solving, collaboration, and multitasking. As a dual degree student, I'm often enrolled in a maximum course load of 18 credits each semester while working over 15 hours a week as a Student Manager and being an active executive board member in SBA. I've utilized my exceptional time management skills and have quickly learned how to navigate tools that have helped me thrive in and out of the classroom.

As the Head Student Manager for the University of Michigan Women’s Basketball Team, I oversee 25 managers, ensuring the smooth execution of over 20 drills in practice and the proper setup for practices and games. My role requires a high level of organization, as I am responsible for scheduling all managers for practices and games. I also have experience using industry-wide applications such as Synergy and Sportscode. I'm confident that my skill set and work ethic will make me a valuable asset to any organization.

At Summer League, I was entrusted as the lead intern to oversee merchandise and staff gear. My daily collaboration with team members was vital to ensure seamless operations, such as maintaining optimal inventory levels at the merchandise stand and ensuring the Hospitality team had VIP bags prepared for guests. I helped transform the previous inventory system into a more efficient layout, resulting in a record-breaking number in sales revenue.

​

Outside of school, I love to spend my free time with my friends, family, and my two dogs. Some of my hobbies include playing golf, collecting vinyl, traveling, and cooking.
