My name is Blake Hill and I’m an exercise science major pursuing my masters degree. I have always loved playing and talking about sports, starting when I was just four years old on the soccer field. I cultivated my competitive nature throughout high school where I was an all state wrestler in Virginia. Even throughout college I have continued to play intramural soccer at ODU. I am also a fan of football and basketball, and I love to watch various talk shows on ESPN to stay up to date on what is happening in sports. My favorite soccer team is Chelsea FC and my favorite football team is the Kansas City Chiefs. The main reason I love sports is because know matter what is happening in the world politically, sports brings people of every side together in a (mostly) peaceful way, and I think sports is one of the last things in the world that has that effect. Although I don’t see a future career in sports communication, I’m taking the sports and communication class because of my lifelong love of competition and sports analysis.
