your own opinion but see where someone else is coming from.

people see a different point of view which is how I currently
work everyday.

What influences this audience is sports players. People who discuss sports on a regular basis
are old players or have been in the industry a log time. I would need to prove myself as

off time because it is a huge impact in their life.

sports world. I would be showing a different point of view.

or Sport media degree.
Also anyone with more connections within the industry.

needs to be improved.
A work schedule of time whether is a year or a
summer is needed to get adequate experience.

wanted to stay apart of the world whether its playing or in some other
