Viking Connections: Brian Duffley
Brian Duffley is a player development intern for the Chicago White Sox at their affiliate location in Kannapolis. He is responsible for a lot of technology-related data collection methods and works directly with the coaching staff in order to adjust and improve player's performance based on said data.
"Sports can very often be a who you know business and for those of us who don't have solid connections entering the industry it can be challenging. Creating those connections will require much more work and cold-emailing people is often a necessity to establish contact. There are numerous people who have helped me along the way and the more people one knows the better. I can not only serve as an established contact in baseball but also be able to offer advice and insight as to how I got where I currently am. I would not be where I am without some of the contacts I created prior to being hired."
