From working as a part-time teammate to being the community and experience director at DICK'S House of Sport in Katy, Texas. Former Minor League Baseball player Ruperto Rojas called his journey with DICK'S Sporting Goods an incredible ride.
從兼職隊友到擔任德克薩斯州凱蒂市迪克體育之家的社區和體驗總監。前小聯盟棒球選手魯珀託·羅哈斯稱他在迪克體育用品公司的旅程是一次不可思議的旅程。
Rojas was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2017 MLB June Amateur Draft. That same year, he started working as a part-time operations associate at DICK'S Sporting Goods near his home in Lakewood, Colorado.
羅哈斯是密爾沃基釀酒人隊在2017年美國職業棒球大聯盟6月業餘選秀中選出的。同年，他開始在科羅拉多州萊克伍德家附近的迪克體育用品公司擔任兼職運營助理。
"My wife told me I had to go out and make a little extra money during the offseason," Rojas said. "There was a DICK'S right across the street, so I went over and applied."
羅哈斯說：“我妻子告訴我，休賽期我必須出去多賺點錢。”“街對面有一個 DICK'S，所以我去申請了。”
He immediately hit it off with Store Manager John Varner. "He became my mentor, and he continues to impact me to this day," said Rojas.
他立即與商店經理約翰·瓦納達成了共識。羅哈斯說：“他成了我的導師，直到今天他仍在影響我。”
Rojas worked at DICK'S every offseason. When his playing days ended in 2021, Rojas said Varner encouraged him to stick with it.
每個休賽期，羅哈斯都在 DICK'S 工作。羅哈斯說，當他的比賽時間在2021年結束時，瓦爾納鼓勵他堅持下去。
"Working with him, you could just see his passion for both his teammates and the athletes," said Varner.
瓦納說：“與他合作，你可以看到他對隊友和運動員的熱情。”
Rojas discovered he had a real passion for helping athletes chase their dreams, and likened working for DICK'S to playing baseball. "It's all about the team," Rojas said.
羅哈斯發現自己對幫助運動員追逐夢想充滿熱情，他把在 DICK'S 工作比作打棒球。羅哈斯說：“一切都與球隊有關。”
Within a year and a half, Rojas worked his way up from part-time operations associate to store manager. Then in April 2023, Rojas got the chance to move back to his hometown of Houston. He was offered the role of community and experience director at the DICK'S House of Sport in nearby Katy.
不到一年半，羅哈斯從兼職運營助理晉升爲門店經理。然後在2023年4月，羅哈斯有機會搬回家鄉休斯敦。他被邀請在附近凱蒂的迪克體育之家擔任社區和體驗總監。
"He leads people the way he would like to be led," Varner said of Rojas. "He is a true people first leader who has the common purpose at the center of what he does every day."
瓦爾納談到羅哈斯時說：“他以自己想要的方式領導人們。”“他是一位真正的 “以人爲本” 的領導者，他的日常工作以共同目標爲中心。”
As community and experience director, Rojas is responsible for integrating DICK'S House of Sport into the community and overseeing internal and external events. He also works to develop and maintain partnerships in the community.
作爲社區和體驗總監，羅哈斯負責將迪克體育之家融入社區，並監督內部和外部活動。他還致力於發展和維護社區夥伴關係。
"This role allowed me to combine my two passions: giving back to the community and sports," Rojas said.
羅哈斯說：“這個角色使我能夠將我的兩種激情結合起來：回饋社區和體育。”
A few years ago, Rojas said when he thought about what he'd do with his life, retail was never in the picture. "Now?" Rojas said, "I can't see a future without DICK'S Sporting Goods."
幾年前，羅哈斯說，當他想到自己的人生會怎麼做時，零售業從來沒有出現在畫面中。“現在？”羅哈斯說：“沒有迪克的體育用品，我看不到未來。”
