Yesterday I got to attend the 2014 Sports Administration (SPAD ) Speaker Summit at the University of Louisville. The summit featured UofL alumni who are currently working in sports administration, local journalism talent, and ESPN's Jemele Hill.
The summit was very beneficial because the guests shared their experiences in the SPAD program as well as what it took for them to reach their career goals.
Attending the SPAD Speaker Summit was not apart of a typical day in the athletics department but it was a great networking tool and it showed that Brian cared enough about his interns to expose us to some of the best in the industry.
After the event, I returned to Spalding to help assist with the setup of the SLIAC Basketball Tournament. I assisted with the setup of the scorers table, which is were I would be spending the rest of my night. Both Spalding's men's and women's basketball team earned the right to host their respective tournaments, which means that the athletics department was in store for a long weekend.
I covered every game for Spalding during the championship and today in was working in the capacity of an intern from 9:00 a.m. To 11:00 p.m. It was a very VERY long day, and although I was tired, I feel that sports information/ sports administration is exactly where I want my career to go.
