My favorite advice that I received in my #TUSportsPhil class: listen with an open heart/mind, not for what you want to hear; and when you’re reaching up, don’t forget to reach down and help those below you as well. All amazing messages from @mjaphet and @StephStradley! Thank you!

Now that Presentation Day is upon us, I feel its only right that I reflect on some of my favorite #TUSportsPhil class periods throughout the semester.

Reflecting on Tiffani Burris (@twb0626), who brought into light the @IsaacBruce80 Foundation’s Flight 300, an outstanding program that provides transportation to ALL college-bound students in need. Thank you, Tiffani, for urging us to be fearless with our ideas and to think BIG!

So excited for May 17th, where all of our hard work and skills gathered from #TUSportsPhil will pay off as we present our #sustainability proposal to the Spurs!

Currently continuing the journey to our final #SpursSprout presentation in #TUSportsPhil class; the small steps lead to big improvements! @reesemwallace @TingleJK @AllisonGailHawk

[Ty Williams @ty_will_03]

Great job from all of the groups today in #TUSportsPhil! Thank you to @AllisonGailHawk, @TingleJK, and @reesemwallace for the feedback and getting #SpursSprout ready for presentation day!

[Ty Williams @ty_will_03]

Had an awesome time perfecting our presentations in class today. Can’t wait for the final product! #SpursSprout #TUsportsphil

Loved the discussion between @AlisonGailHawk and @courtsloger about “being able to use the power of sports” in order to provide a positive net impact to the community. Also, some great farewell advice: when you avoid failure, you miss out on an opportunity to grow. #TUSportsPhil

[Ty Williams @ty_will_03]

Listening in to Courtney Mueller (@courtsloger) from @stlCITYsc, who is currently stressing the importance of youth development within the community, and how it is imperative to shape and educate the leaders of our future generations. #TUSportsPhil

[Ty Williams @ty_will_03]

So thankful for the networking wisdom from @b0bwallace, as he put into perspective the simple yet effective power of respect and decency towards others. He summed it up as just treating people the way you want to be treated, and to befriend those with similar goals. #TUSportsPhil

[Ty Williams @ty_will_03]

Attending a lecture from @b0bwallace, who is discussing the monumental shifts in sport and the impact it can have on our society; athletes including Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, and even Colin Kaepernick are a part of those who have “changed the conversation.” #TUSportsPhil

[Ty Williams @ty_will_03]

It was great to be able to converse and brainstorm within our groups during class today, as we continue our deliberation on the best and most efficient #sustainablility project to pursue! #TUSportsPhil

[Ty Williams @ty_will_03]

Beautiful day to be listening in to the consulting wisdom of @AllisonGailHawk, who encourages us that we all have a unique perspective to offer, and to always question: “How will I leave this better than when I found it?” #TUSportsPhil

[Ty Williams @ty_will_03]

It was a pleasure learning from two of the best in the field when it comes to sports marketing, @sportmarketing1 and @paul_blakey, and discussing the importance of content creation, fan engagement, and new communication strategies within digital sports marketing! #TUSportsPhil

[Ty Williams @ty_will_03]

Currently attending a lecture from the authors themselves of Digital Sports Marketing, @sportmarketing1 and @paul_blakey, who are providing us with sports marketing wisdom all the way from England! Also, can’t wait to see @AllisonGailHawk in-person next week! #TUSportsPhil

@sam_miller2002 Going off of this technology in sports tangent, what has been the most prominent way in which sports has marketed itself to you digitally, and can you find any difference in these sports marketing strategies when comparing now to when you were a kid? #TUSportsPhil (3/3)

[Ty Williams @ty_will_03]

@sam_miller2002 My question is: what other examples can you think of that apply to this idea of “communication” and exposure in sports, possibly a personal discovery of a sport that you wouldn’t have otherwise found without social media platforms, etc.? #TUSportsPhil (2/3)

@Taylor9Campbell @BowserPeyton @RuleJonConnor @jmccray2of3 @addie_putnam @TingleJK @AllisonGailHawk @reesemwallace Whereas before, American football was considered solely American, the NFL has made massive strides internationally, and even conducts games overseas. This is all thanks to the global connection fabricated through social media. (2/2) #TUSportsPhil

[Ty Williams @ty_will_03]

@Taylor9Campbell @BowserPeyton @RuleJonConnor @jmccray2of3 @addie_putnam @TingleJK @AllisonGailHawk @reesemwallace Due to the rapid technological advancement of society, social media has practically become vital to the sports industry. Social media allows for teams to expand their network and influence global fanbases that otherwise might not have been involved with said sports team. (1/2)
