My name is Lydia Wilson and growing up around sports is what shaped my love for them. I started playing basketball when I was around 5 years old and continued to play up until high school. My senior season, we ended up winning the state championship, the first ever at my high school for girls basketball.<\/p>\n<p>While I loved playing basketball, football was the sport that shaped my passion for the sports industry. With three brothers who all played sports, I spent a lot of time cheering them on. Football was a constant in our house, and with two of my brothers who played in college, I&#8217;ve spent a lot of weekends traveling for their games. Having the opportunity to travel to different colleges and experience what the atmosphere was like on game days (Alabama is still my personal favorite) made me realize that I wanted to pursue a career in the football industry, whether that be college or professional level. The energy, excitement, and seeing people come together to support their team made me love the game even more! With an undergraduate degree in Marketing, I hope to pursue a job that works on branding, fan engagement, or even player development.<\/p>\n<p>I created this blog by first choosing a template and adding in a header picture. I then wrote my bio and chose a few photos that related! I hope that this blog can become a space for me to share my thoughts about the sports industry.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/71524969_3532886060062311_1040236230073122816_n-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"614\" data-id=\"252\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/71524969_3532886060062311_1040236230073122816_n-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/71524969_3532886060062311_1040236230073122816_n-1.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/71524969_3532886060062311_1040236230073122816_n-1-300x192.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/71524969_3532886060062311_1040236230073122816_n-1-768x491.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/71524969_3532886060062311_1040236230073122816_n-1-600x384.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/71524969_3532886060062311_1040236230073122816_n-1-945x604.jpeg 945w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/IMG_7940.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"238\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/IMG_7940.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/IMG_7940.jpg 683w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/IMG_7940-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/football-group-wordpress-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/football-group-wordpress-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/football-group-wordpress-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/football-group-wordpress-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/football-group-wordpress-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/football-group-wordpress-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/football-group-wordpress-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lydiawilsonsportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38389\/2025\/02\/football-group-wordpress-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey everyone!
