From Finance to Football: Coach Wins Super Bowl at 38

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald led his team to victory in Super Bowl LX this past Sunday, taking home the Lombardi Trophy after a 29-13 win over the New England Patriots. Macdonald, who is only 38 years old, achieved this feat thanks to an early career gamble, according to Fortune.

Macdonald's journey to the Super Bowl began after he graduated from the University of Georgia with a master's degree in sports management. He had spent four years working for the university's football team, the Bulldogs. At a career crossroads, Macdonald was offered a job at the global accounting firm KPMG at the end of 2013. However, he chose to pursue a football internship instead.
