My experience in Dr. O\u2019Hallarn\u2019s Sport Communication Online class has been both eye-opening and rewarding. Coming into the course, I was eager to apply my background in mass communication and broadcasting, which I studied during my undergraduate years. I wanted to see how the skills I already learned could be incorporated into the world of sports communication. What I didn’t expect was how much this class would challenge me to be more creative and confident in sharing my ideas.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most fulfilling parts of the course was creating my personal website through WordPress. The project allowed me to build a digital portfolio that showcases my work and creativity. I now have a space that reflects my academic and professional interests. Moving forward, I now have a space that reflects my academic and professional interests, which I can continue to build as I move forward in my career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another assignment that stood out was the opportunity to connect with a pen pal who currently works in the field I hope to enter. This experience pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me form a meaningful professional relationship. The advice and insight I received through our conversations were incredibly valuable, and I\u2019m grateful for the chance to start building and networking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This class also let me tap into my personal passion for wrestling. While many people view wrestling primarily as entertainment, I appreciated the opportunity to cover the 1999 Survivor Series for my game report. It was exciting to analyze the event from a sports communication perspective and compare the production style to today’s more polished cinematic presentations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working on the group project was another important learning experience. I\u2019ll admit that I sent quite a few emails regarding our progress, but being part of the team helped me grow as a leader. I had previously taken the DISC Assessment in Dr. Ridinger’s Sport Leadership course and scored high in the \u201cD\u201d (Dominance) category, which reflects a strong leadership tendency. This project allowed me to practice those skills in a real-world academic setting, and although there were minor challenges, the outcome and your feedback made the effort worthwhile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, this course has pushed me beyond my limitations and allowed me to discover new strengths. I am grateful for the knowledge and tools I\u2019ve gained, and I plan to continue using them, especially the WordPress site, as I pursue my career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
