What It Means To Be An Influential Marylander

“I am very committed to making sure the next generation of sports tourism leaders have opportunities to learn and develop through internships, apprenticeships and other supportive programs,” he said. “It is important that we continue to mentor our younger generation so that they learn to appreciate the paths that have been developed for them to succeed, prosper and flourish.” Said Terry Hasseltine, executive Director of the Maryland Sports Commission

Power 10: Terry Hasseltine, Maryland Sports Commission
Terry Hasseltine has a phrase he says often and typically in about .02 seconds without taking a breath: Heads in beds, food in bellies, gas in cars, credit cards and cash on counters and butts in seats.
“It’s something everybody keeps telling me I should trademark,” Hasseltine said. “But at the end of the day, it’s the essence of sports tourism. Those are the measurable components.”
Hasseltine became president of the Sport and Entertainment Corp. of Maryland in 2019 as a newly formed nonprofit affiliated foundation to support the Maryland Sports Commission, where Hasseltine has served as executive director since 2008. He’s also the Maryland Stadium Authority’s vice president for marketing and communication.
“We’re trying to create a footprint with events coming year in and year out,” Hasseltine said. “But we’re also trying to make a legacy for growth of a sport — like quadball, which we [recently hosted] down in Howard County — to find its niche in Maryland.”
If you can play it, Hasseltine wants in on it.
“Coming to Maryland and dealing with an urban, very defined land mass, partners are on top of each other,” Hasseltine said. That’s more challenging in some ways, he said.
“But very often the infusion of professional sports in the environment, layered on top of the collegiate, layered on top of high school, layered on top of our youth and amateur sports market makes it a very different field, giving it extra opportunities to do big things,” he said.
Hasseltine was instrumental in the creation of the Return To Play: Youth and Amateur Sports guideline response to Covid-19.
