David "SuperDavetheSportsFan" DeWitt is exploring a personal brand focused on bridging the gap between older and younger generations through discussing sports. His goals are to work in sports after graduation, have a successful sports blog and podcast by 2025, and become a top sports analyst by 2030. He outlines his skills, potential mentors in the industry, and competition. His brand positions him as providing an informal "home boy" discussion of sports without needing a dictionary.
2. Growing up in a tough environment David
DeWitt had to master the ability to focus. He like
most young youngsters in the inner-city had
dreams of making it in sports. Basketball to be
specific. This is where he honed his ability to
concentrate on being something bigger than his
environment. He has always had the ability to
make people laugh and feel extremely
comfortable around him. He is here to bridge the
gap between the older generation and today’s
generation. Being a part of the hip hop culture
and deeply versed in what is new and fresh now;
is how he will connect two generations that
rarely see eye to eye.
