My Summer

I promise I will try to update this more.  Here is a rundown of my summer:

I was accepted into the CU Business of Sports Certificate Program which started in June and ended in late July.  This has been the best experience I have had while at CU.  We talked sports for 7 hours a day, every day.  It was awesome.  We discussed sport management, sports marketing, sports law, economics of sports, and leadership.  Since my dream is to become a sports agent, this class was perfect for me.  I met two great sports agents, Jack and Tom Mills.  Jack's wife grew up in San Marino, so that was an instant connection we had.  I plan on keeping in touch with him frequently.

The main part of the class was a huge project that groups had to do for various Colorado-based sports organizations.  The partners were CU Athletics, Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Rapids, Vail Resorts, and Greenhouse Scholars.  The organization I was assigned to was CU.  My group, which was by far the best group, had to improve CU's social media standing (mostly Facebook and Twitter).  It was a fairly easy project compared to the others, but we did an awesome job with it.  Here is my group while at INVESCO:

We also took some cool field trips.  Here we all are at INVESCO Field:

Here we are at the Pepsi Center:

 

And we also visited CU's Folsom Field.  All the field trips were awesome and we got to hear from some great guest speakers. 

One of the best parts about being with everyone for 7 hours a day for 2 months straight is the friendships that are built.  I made some great, new friends that I'll always stay in touch with.  If anyone reading this is interested in the business side of sports, I highly recommend you apply for this program.  Easily one of the best decisions I have made in my short life.
