Reflections

First off, a big thanks to UF for deciding to have spring break the first week of March. If it had been any later, this week would have been VERY different. With everything going on in the sports world right now, I am even more appreciative that I was able …

After this week, I realize just how lucky I was to be able to do everything I did last week. With sports pretty much completely shut down at the moment, all I can do is reflect on my awesome week last week. Over the course of seven days, I was …

This week has been an amazing learning experience for me.

  This trip taught me a lot about myself and the industry I want to work in post-grad. My entire life, I have been either a fan sitting in the stands or helping my dad while he worked. This time I was the one working. It may not have been …
