Hey there,
Welcome to The BOS Playbook, your no-fluff weekly playbook to turning genuine sports passion - cricket, football/soccer, F1, basketball and more - into a powerful Sports Industry Spike that stands out to Ivy League and and other top global universities.
I’m Jonathan R a.k.a. Mr. BOS Guy.
For the past 18+ years, I’ve been deep inside the Indian sports industry - working with professional teams, topline broadcasters, global brands, and, of course, the people who make the magic happen behind the scenes. Today, through The BOS Playbook, I help ambitious families - students and their parents - and across the globe build authentic, high-impact profiles for their sports-loving kids.
Here’s the reality check most families discover too late:
Simply playing school sports or watching matches won’t cut it anymore.
Top universities are looking for depth, leadership, initiative, and real-world impact - you are probably familiar with the word “spike” (What is a spike?). A well-crafted Sports Industry Spike shows a university that your child can think strategically, lead initiatives, create value, and pursue intellectual curiosity through their passion.
That’s exactly what The BOS Playbook will help you build - week after week.
What You’ll Get in Every Issue
Actionable ideas students are actually using right now.
Behind-the-scenes insights from the sports universe that most consultants cannot access.
Simple, step-by-step ways to convert fandom into research, coaching, analytics, entrepreneurship, or community leadership.
Real examples, templates, checklists, and 18 - 24 month roadmaps.
What you will not get is generic advice, and fluff. The BOS Playbook will be just practical strategies from someone who knows the sports industry inside out.
