My name is Alana Whitley and I am a senior studying communications with a minor in marketing at Old Dominion University. While I did not grow up athletic, sports played a major role in my upbringing as I spent every Sunday watching football, particularly the Pittsburgh Steelers. I also would become exposed to other sports like basketball and tennis, which have all helped me grow interested in sports media as I find the industry to be very intriguing. Outside of sports, I love to read, collect records, and play the Sims 4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/alanawhitleysportsjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32251\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-23-204715.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/alanawhitleysportsjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32251\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-23-204715-1024x759.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-205\" width=\"293\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/alanawhitleysportsjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32251\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-23-204715-1024x759.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/alanawhitleysportsjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32251\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-23-204715-300x222.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/alanawhitleysportsjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32251\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-23-204715-768x569.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/alanawhitleysportsjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32251\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-23-204715-405x300.png 405w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/alanawhitleysportsjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32251\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-23-204715.png 1147w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">At the 2022 Citi Open tennis tournament<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"me in the odu halftime show on december 10th\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XiOHVhZCJCM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">here I am in the halftime show at ODU!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":26020,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/alanawhitleysportsjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/186"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/alanawhitleysportsjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/alanawhitleysportsjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/alanawhitleysportsjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26020"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/alanawhitleysportsjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=186"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/alanawhitleysportsjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/186\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":254,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/alanawhitleysportsjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/186\/revisions\/254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/alanawhitleysportsjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
