Bryan Ferrer here, and I am a Junior at Bowling Green State University.(BGSU). I chose BGSU because of their positive reputation with Sport Management. Being from Canton, Ohio, I felt comfortable with the distance between my hometown and Bowling Green. Another reason for choosing BGSU is because of the Bowling Green Radio Sports Organization. (BGRSO). This organization gave me the opportunity to have my own radio show and broadcast BG sports as a freshman. Knowing that, what more could I ask for, considering my dream job is to be on radio/tv and talking sports.
With me being a Sport Management major, obviously I have a passion for sports. Growing up I played Soccer, ran Cross-Country, and Track. The sports that I enjoy watching are: Football, Basketball, Soccer, and Baseball. Whether it is at the professional level or the collegiate level, I enjoy sports.
With this class being all about global sports, the one event I would desperately love to attend would be the World Cup. However, I am not just saying that because I still have World Cup fever from this past summer. I enjoy the game of soccer and having played it all my life here in America, and then watching countries all across the world show their passion for soccer just makes me wish I could be there. Other than the passionate fans, I also love all the strategy that goes into the game and that upsets are very possible.
When it comes to this class with Dr. Spencer, I just look to expand my knowledge in sports outside of the United States. To be honest, one of the main reasons I took this class is because she is instructing it. I look forward to learning more about globalization of sports.
Hi Bryan,
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice introductory entry for your blog. It seems that you picked a great time to be a follower of soccer, because I really think the interest in the U.S. is starting to pick up. Can you imagine what it must have been like to be amongst the millions of fans in Seoul, like the video that Dr. Cho showed in class today? I don't know if it will ever get like that in the U.S., but I hope we begin to experience at least a fraction of what that is like. In the meantime, why not see if you can plan to go to the next World Cup? Here is a link to the Facebook countdown: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Countdown-to-the-2014-FIFA-World-Cup/137974319553778
I look forward to reading more of your blog entries.
