Assistant Professor Sports Management Cover Letter Sample

Dear Hiring Manager,

As an Adjunct Sports Management Lecturer and Doctorate of Sport and Exercise graduate, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently a part-time Adjunct Lecturer at the University of Sunnybank, where I teach undergraduate Sports Law and Ethical and Legal Issues in Sport. I employ a range of traditional and progressive methodology in the planning and delivery of instruction in physical and virtual settings, with an emphasis on incorporating experiential learning opportunities whenever possible. 

I see myself as an educator, not just an instructor. I actively promote a flexible, supportive, and dynamic learning environment and encourage students to challenge the material and ask how we can use our knowledge to question the choices we make. I am particularly pleased at the average 97% pass rate my students achieve.

In addition to my lecturing experience and doctorate studies, I hold a Master of Sports Management. I regularly build upon and complement my theoretical and practical knowledge through attending and presenting at professional workshops, conferences, and courses. In my spare time, I am involved in a wide range of activities such as football, skydiving, fencing, skiing, and marathons.

I have enjoyed my time at the University of Sunnybank, and am grateful for the excellent teaching opportunities offered. I now seek a full-time Assistant Professor role that will enable me to deliver stimulating courses to the next generation of sports management professionals.

Please find attached my curriculum vitae for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Seth Cohen
