RE: Giorgio Varlaro
To Whom It May Concern:
While attending St. John Fisher College, the above referenced
individual was a student of mine
in two classes, Introduction to Sports Management and Sports
Marketing & Promotions. Both
classes contain a large amount of work that focuses on practical
application to the sportsindustry.
I found Mr. Varlaro to always be prompt and prepared for class,
and in the event he needed
clarification, always willing to accept instruction outside of
class. I found Mr. Varlaro to graspconcepts of Marketing &
Promotions quickly and clearly earning a B+ in the class. The
Intro
class focuses on the broad overview of the sports industry and
Mr. Varlaro received a B- in this
class.
In both classes, in which I taught Mr. Varlaro, there is a vast
amount of work outside of the
classroom. I was genuinely impressed at the dedication and
thoroughness Mr. Varlaro put intothis preparation. He may have in
all honesty been the hardest working student I have ever had
the
pleasure to teach in my three full years at St. John Fisher.
Mr. Varlaro is comfortable in large groups. He is willing to add
to a discussion topic or ask aquestion should he need
clarification. If provided the opportunity and instruction, I have
no
hesitation in believing that Mr. Varlaro will work hard to meet
and exceed all expectations.
With over 15 years of experience in the sporting industry,
including ten as the Vice President of
Operations with Sport Consulting Group, a firm that represents
over 45 NHL players, I often askmyself if I would want this student
working for me. In Mr. Varlaros case I would not hesitate toanswer
that with a yes. There were numerous students that scored higher on
a test or
understood concepts better than Mr. Varlaro, however I would
reiterate that I rarely saw anyone
that worked harder or had his work ethic. Consider this a strong
recommendation for this student.
Should you have any further questions concerning Mr. Varlaro
please do not hesitate to contact
me. During the summer, it would be best to reach me on my cell:
(585) 705-3405 as I will be out
of the office until the fall.
Sincerely,
Alan Pogroszewski
