I am definitely passionate about several things in life. Most of them, albeit, are for sports. I do love technology, and the amazing things we are able to fabricate and simulate with them, but there is something about sports that I cant get enough of. The grace that athletes at the top of their game have is unmatched. The posture that they achieve just causes them to stand out from the rest. Its like a chip on the shoulder sort of thing. They stand and move with such grace that it really translates to something more beautiful than anything I've ever known. From Football to Basketball and Football in Europe, sports have taken over the cultural world. If there was one thing I could do for the rest of my life it would be taking part in one or more of those sports, whether it was watching, analyzing, or even playing.
The sports industry has been ever-growing since it first came to life. It has never really stopped expanding, and probably never will. I could tie my love of sports to so many careers. From sports psychology to sports medicine and just flat out being an athlete, there are so many different careers in the field. When it comes to technology on the other hand, I could engineer it, invent it, manipulate it as a computer scientist. I could do so many things with both of these industries that its insane. The mere analyzing of both industries can result in hundreds of careers that are intriguing. They all can tie in to my interests and passions.
I'd love to serve a field of interest that deals with the helping of less fortunate people through my passion. While I don't know any through a technology field off the top of my head I'm sure there are plenty. On the other hand, I know that every sports league out there does charity work for those whom are less fortunate. The NFL alone contributes ridiculous amounts of money every year to those whom are hungry and less fortunate. I love those things. Coming from a fortunate life and family, I thankfully don't have to worry about those things. On the other hand however, I've witnessed people go through them, and understand that its definitely a massive struggle. Traveling to countries less fortunate than our own and seeing people struggle to live, let alone succeed is the definition of a struggle.
My Passion
Truth be told
I never knew that one day
I'd grow and love the game so
as a kid
I always wanted to be a superhero
I didn't think I would be so Intrigued
by what my father loved so much
on first sight all i saw
was grown men fighting
but on a second look
what I saw was much more beautiful
I began to play and practice the game
I watched so closely every Monday, Sunday and Thursday
I could simply not get enough
the tango was a never ending high
that still fills me with joy
from dynasty to dynasty
game to game
my life to theirs
it truly feels like I have a second love
one that is not tangible
one that can not be jealous
one that never feels remorse
I never knew that one day
it would be My Passion.
Tyler,
ReplyDeleteGreat post. What I like about it most is that you explore different aspects of careers in the sports industry. From psychology to the more community service side. Since you're open to it, I think you could find the right edge in which to get involved, professionally.
That's good. In the next coming weeks, we'll discuss the future and what that will look like for our careers. What is your major at BHCC? Psychology, computer science... both?
My suggestion would be to try to get in with an organization now. Maybe through volunteering. The best thing to do, while trying to break into an industry, such as sports or film or music, is to start now - networking. Volunteering is a great way to meet people, make an impact, and set yourself up for a future job.
Think about it. How are you going to make this career in sports happen? Start planning now. Start meeting people now. It'll happen.
