Hello everyone! I am excited to start this sport journal and to dive into the world of sports with you all. Before we continue this semester, I would like to introduce my passion for sports. I have been involved and in love with the sports industry since I was able to step foot on to a field. The competitive nature was ultimately what I went after, but soon enough I learned that the world of sports is much more than that. I fell in love with the teamwork, creativity and discipline that this industry brings forth. As an athlete my whole life, sports gave me the resources to become the person I am today. I soon realized that I can utilize this passion in my career and return the favor to the industry in making it better. With this, my hopes for my future career is to work in college athletics and continue to contribute to student-athletes success on and off the field. My desired field would be within facilities and event operations, as I love being able to provide athletes with spaces to improve, as well as assist in the managing of their games on site. I currently work in ODU Athletic Facilities and Events, so I have already begun my journey!

Utilizing the resources from Canvas and the different themes on WordPress, I was able to easily create this sport journal. My goal is to ultimately use to this blog to showcase my work within this course, but also as a platform to be able to share my thoughts and experiences within the sports industry throughout the semester.
