My first and most significant take away from the course was the guest speakers. It was so refreshing and inspiring to hear the passion in their voice when talking about their occupations because that is what I want for myself. I want to love what I do for a living, and you could tell that every single guest speaker truly enjoyed the ins and outs about their profession.

Another take away from the course was the importance of understanding how to use social media. As someone like myself who is constantly on my phone and also aspires to have a job in the sports communication world, why not be productive and share my own experiences, opinions, and creativity for others to see because you never know who might come across your platforms.

Lastly, another thing I learned was the nature of the sports audience. By that, I mean how to connect with sports fans, depending on what sport. Fans make the sport what it is. They give the sports the hype that it holds, so understanding how to connect with the fans i huge in this business.
