I have always had a love of sports since I was very little. The people that inspire me are the same people that you see that write sports section in newspaper articles or the people that you see on ESPN broadcasting sports. My progress could be seen through emails talking to sports journalists or agents as well as sports broadcasters. ]]> 2018-09-19 14:25:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lweitenberner/wmu9pj5tm3ci/wish/283447757 lweitenberner https://padlet.com/lweitenberner/wmu9pj5tm3ci/wish/283926930 People that would be good to talk to would be Sportswriters. They would be good to talk to because they have had experience in the field of sports journalism. People such as Mike Gallagher from the Tribune or the people you see every morning on sportscenter.]]> 2018-09-20 14:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lweitenberner/wmu9pj5tm3ci/wish/283926930 lweitenberner https://padlet.com/lweitenberner/wmu9pj5tm3ci/wish/294839679 One thing that i could do to jump start this process is to start a sports blog or some kind of sports feed. This would be a good way to show off my talent for sports writing and my passion for it as well. My first step would be to create a website to host it on and be able to post entries on. ]]> 2018-10-19 14:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lweitenberner/wmu9pj5tm3ci/wish/294839679 lweitenberner https://padlet.com/lweitenberner/wmu9pj5tm3ci/wish/295975689 List of Mentors:

I was able to research writers and read many articles, but I haven't been able to get a hold of any writers that I am interested in reading. I feel like I am making some progress toward my end goal, but haven't been able to gain much traction. I haven't gotten much done due to the fact that I didn't get much time to do my project as well as me being very busy with other classes and schoolwork. If want to make some progress soon I should be researching more writers and reading many more articles as well as starting to write some small articles about games or events. I also should be e-mailing some of these writers that I read on a daily basis. ]]> 2019-01-07 15:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lweitenberner/wmu9pj5tm3ci/wish/317893402 lweitenberner https://padlet.com/lweitenberner/wmu9pj5tm3ci/wish/318335511 If I were to present today I wouldn't have much to show besides the list of articles that I have read in the past three months. I wouldn't have anything that I could show bu I would have plenty to talk about, such as how I have been able to analyze writing styles. Now when I read an article I can vaguely tell who it is written by, just by the word choice and how they structure the articles. Within the next couple months ill be able to read an article and be able to tell who it is written by, just by reading man articles over time. ]]> 2019-01-08 15:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lweitenberner/wmu9pj5tm3ci/wish/318335511 lweitenberner https://padlet.com/lweitenberner/wmu9pj5tm3ci/wish/351655515 If I had to present my years' work for tomorrow I would have literally nothing. Most of my work I have is all research without evidence of me doing it. At this point, I am not very enthusiastic about this project. Earlier in the year, it sounded great but the longevity wasn't there. Ever since I have had college coaches reaching out to me, my only goal is college sports. With the remaining time, I'd really like to start something different. I'd like to change my project from sports writing to be a college athlete.]]> 2019-04-15 13:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lweitenberner/wmu9pj5tm3ci/wish/351655515 lweitenberner https://padlet.com/lweitenberner/wmu9pj5tm3ci/wish/352570640 I was invited to multiple Prospect camps and fundamental camps by various Division 2 and 3 colleges. Invites were from Northwood, Adrian, Albion, Alma, and Kentucky Wesleyan. ]]> 2019-04-18 14:36:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lweitenberner/wmu9pj5tm3ci/wish/352570640 lweitenberner https://padlet.com/lweitenberner/wmu9pj5tm3ci/wish/355438232 Being able to play football in college would mean a lot to me for many reasons. One reason being that I have always loved the game of football, without it I don't know what I would do. Also, I have always been told that I wouldn't be able to do it since I am too small. I have always been the kind of person to try to prove everyone wrong. I'll always remember being a kid going to watch Michigan State games on weekends in the fall. Ever since I was little I would always tell my parents that one day I would get to play football in college.]]> 2019-04-30 14:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lweitenberner/wmu9pj5tm3ci/wish/355438232
