I realize I'm behind a bit on my posting. Each of these should have gone up immediately following the class each week, but I'm finally catching up and you will now get to see my foundational nuggets from each class.
After week 2, the key point I came away with was that
You have to stand for something. If you don't you'll fall for anything.
This stuck with me because I feel that I have always tried to stand for something in everything I do. In my life I've always tried to stand up for the underdog, the underrepresented, and the unheard. It's in my nature.
Through this class we came to realize that there are many challenges facing intercollegiate athletics today that are only going to continue to grow unless someone steps in and makes a change. That someone is going to have to be my classmates and me. The new blood infusing the world of intercollegiate athletics administration. We will be the change makers. The ones to end the battles that were started many years ago.
As I mentioned in my last post, we also took a good look at where our moral compass pointed. For me family and integrity were the 2 values that I simply couldn't give up. The strength of these two values I think will do well for me in my future career.
By forcing us to boil everything down to the most basic concepts we now know where we stand on many different topics and issues, which will enable us to enter the industry with a clear head and an understanding of where we are and where we want to go.
