This week I spent a lot of time just trying to figure out the technical name of my dream job. Throughout my research I got into contact with the only person who could help me, but still haven't heard back. I researched many of the top schools to see if they had the position I was looking for, however I didn't find anything.
The HYPERS Department requires all students to become a member of different professional organizations. I am most interested in CoSIDA or North American Society for Sport Management, because of all the benefits to students.
I struggled with the book assignment, because I don't know the title where I would research a job when I don't know the name of it. However, I did find a find a few thing interesting in the public relations sections.

A Girls Love for Sports
Growing up I was a "tom-boy". (I didn't mind until I started looking back at old pictures.) I was always the girl with baseball cards, the one on the blacktop playing basketball with the guys, or asking for jerseys for Christmas instead of dresses.
I guess I never really understood my love and appreciation for sports until I got a little bit older. Throughout middle school I played basketball, softball, and even tried cheerleading. Sure, I knew I was athletic and coordinated enough that I could do anything, but cheerleading? I was good, but the girly-girl stuff wasn't my scene yet.
Going into high school I decided to go back to basketball. As much as I liked having a reason to make myself look cute, I didn't want to cheer even though all of my friends were going to continue.
When I started "dating" is when I really found out how sports would play such a huge role in my life. Since I enjoyed sports there was always something to do or something to talk about with my boyfriend. Perfect?
I was lucky enough to find a guy who a) plays baseball and b) is really cute. Throughout high school I found myself attending more sporting events. I was always going to school games, professional games, or even his games. Since I decided to quit playing basketball I had a lot of extra free time, but I wanted to fill that free time with sports.
Some of my greatest memories throughout our relationship involve sports. We've had the chance to sit front row at a Yankees/Orioles game, take a road-trip to sit with the Cameron Crazies at Cameron Indoor Stadium for a Duke game, see JJ Redick play for the magic, see his college team play, and even skip school to spend Valentine's Day weekend in Florida for the Daytona 500.
From my experience and those around me, it seems sports can truly better a relationship. There's something to talk about and experience other then work, school, or drama. I may not have a Valentine if it weren't for sports, would you?
