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.
从兼职队友到担任德克萨斯州凯蒂市迪克体育之家的社区和体验总监。前小联盟棒球选手鲁珀托·罗哈斯称他在迪克体育用品公司的旅程是一次不可思议的旅程。
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.
罗哈斯是密尔沃基酿酒人队在2017年美国职业棒球大联盟6月业余选秀中选出的。同年，他开始在科罗拉多州莱克伍德家附近的迪克体育用品公司担任兼职运营助理。
"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."
罗哈斯说：“我妻子告诉我，休赛期我必须出去多赚点钱。”“街对面有一个 DICK'S，所以我去申请了。”
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.
他立即与商店经理约翰·瓦纳达成了共识。罗哈斯说：“他成了我的导师，直到今天他仍在影响我。”
Rojas worked at DICK'S every offseason. When his playing days ended in 2021, Rojas said Varner encouraged him to stick with it.
每个休赛期，罗哈斯都在 DICK'S 工作。罗哈斯说，当他的比赛时间在2021年结束时，瓦尔纳鼓励他坚持下去。
"Working with him, you could just see his passion for both his teammates and the athletes," said Varner.
瓦纳说：“与他合作，你可以看到他对队友和运动员的热情。”
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.
罗哈斯发现自己对帮助运动员追逐梦想充满热情，他把在 DICK'S 工作比作打棒球。罗哈斯说：“一切都与球队有关。”
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，罗哈斯从兼职运营助理晋升为门店经理。然后在2023年4月，罗哈斯有机会搬回家乡休斯敦。他被邀请在附近凯蒂的迪克体育之家担任社区和体验总监。
"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."
瓦尔纳谈到罗哈斯时说：“他以自己想要的方式领导人们。”“他是一位真正的 “以人为本” 的领导者，他的日常工作以共同目标为中心。”
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.
作为社区和体验总监，罗哈斯负责将迪克体育之家融入社区，并监督内部和外部活动。他还致力于发展和维护社区伙伴关系。
"This role allowed me to combine my two passions: giving back to the community and sports," Rojas said.
罗哈斯说：“这个角色使我能够将我的两种激情结合起来：回馈社区和体育。”
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."
几年前，罗哈斯说，当他想到自己的人生会怎么做时，零售业从来没有出现在画面中。“现在？”罗哈斯说：“没有迪克的体育用品，我看不到未来。”
