Conclusion - Josiah Blevins


Overall I found this class to be very enjoyable.  My favorite part about the class was the discussion, in some classes no one talks so the discussion lacks.  But in this class I learned a lot on many different topics because of the discussion.  Two of the main things I will take away is everything on multi gender athletes.  Before the class I knew some information on the topic but this class has shown that things are not as easy as black and white.  Another thing that was interesting was the cool pose and the effect it had on sports.  One of the favorite topics we discussed in class was LeBron James and The Decision.  Not being from Ohio it shed some light on the whole subject matter.  It did not change my opinion on him or anything but it was nice to see different viewpoints.  The Special Olympics was another topic I liked.  The presentations at the end gave me more information on these remarkable athletes.  Presentations as a whole were neat because it gave more information on certain topics we did not discuss in great detail in the class.  To see how much attention the regular Olympics gets compared to the Special Olympics is mind blowing. 

The article on which athlete you would pay to see was my favorite article.  It was intriguing to see what athletes other athletes would pay to see.  It also showed how certain athletes wished they could have been good at another sport.  Doing a blog it made me more aware of certain issues or viewpoints.  I did not want to offend anyone so you had to pick your words very carefully sometimes.  The blog I believed was a good choose for me because it let me see many different viewpoints from the class other than just mine.  The job I want to have after I graduate is becoming a high school athlete director.  This course will help if I come into certain situations with budgeting because we had a homework assignment that dealt with that.  It will also help with handling different issues like females in sports or disabilities in sport.  In the end I found this class very enjoyable and learned a lot.
