Testimonials (3)

Alia Ishak, Former Student | Hofstra University

Professor Meindl is one of the greatest professors at Hofstra University. He is a professor who genuinely cares about his students, not only as a professor, but as a person. He strives for his students to learn and understand the concepts that he’s teaching. His teaching tactics are very well structured and implemented in that he makes the learning environment stress-free and enjoyable. Professor Meindl is not only a wonderful professor, but also a wonderful person.

Lauren E. Katz, Former Student | Hofstra University

As a professor at Hofstra University, John took the time to learn about his students and help them establish a well-rounded perception of the business of sports and sports marketing. (which, in my particular classroom, was no easy feat) I looked to John for incredibly useful insight on beginning a career in sports communications, and his advice has been invaluable to my endeavors since.

Neil A. Malvone, Former Student | Farleigh Dickinson University

John challenged the students from the first day of class to think outside of the box when applying the principles of sports marketing. He asked the class to consider the important marketing issues of the day to find real life applications to the course material. John's experience as President and founder of SportsBranded Media helped his marketing class see first hand that marketing theory leads directly to practical results in the sports marketing arena.
