Overall, I really enjoyed taking this class. I took this class for enjoyment due to having all of my required courses already completed to be set to graduate next week. This honestly was one of my favorite classes because I actually enjoyed the topics that we discussed. I liked how he talked about the history of events in sport but we also discussed recent sports news that was happening today. I am a sports fanatic and always stay up to date with what is going on (thanks to twitter) but it was nice to hear what others have to say about different topics and there was even some news that I didn't even hear about yet. That was really cool.
I also enjoyed how we got to choose if we wanted to do a blog or a journal. I chose to do a blog because I had never done a blog before and wanted to see what it was like. I actually really enjoyed doing a blog each week and seeing what others had to say about different topics as well. As a result, I now have my own fitness blog that I post on weekly and I have this class to thank for that!
Some of the discussions in class I wasn't even aware of. In the beginning of the semester when we talked about Caster Semenya, I didn't even know who she was! Which was crazy, because I am a die-hard track fan. I never knew that there were so many different categories that an individual could fall into, I always just thought of black and white. This class has opened my eyes to really look deeper into situations and stories and not always listen to what you hear.
I would definitely recommend this class to anyone, not only sport management majors. I wish that this class was a requirement for Exercise Science students as well because several of exercise science students will be working in sports and with athletes and they would get a lot out of the class!
