Blogging Questions Week #1
1)
What are
your expectations for the course?
- I'm hoping to learn about what it takes to be a successful professional in school/college athletics and professional sports. I've been involved in sports for a long time and I feel as I get more mature in my favorite sport (cycling) I am more comfortable taking on a leadership role. But besides the experience I feel I need/want to learn more about the specific tasks & duties a person in charge at the school or Professional sports level is required to know.
2)
On a
scale of 1-10, how would you rate your knowledge of sport? Why?
- I'd think I would rate my knowledge at a 8. I did participate in various sports for 25+years and studied sports science (ex phys and kinesiology) and took some grad level courses before. My lack of detailed knowledge about some American sports (NFL, MLB etc.) is something I need to work on since i didn't grow up with these sports.
3)
On a
scale of 1-10, how would you rate your knowledge of sport administration? Why?
- I'd rate it a 7 or 8. I'm involved with a semi-professional cycling team where I do some small Admin work and help with logistics (travel, sponsorships etc.). Besides that, I own a cycling coaching business which I've been running since almost 7 years. Yet, I haven't worked within a 'big' professional team or as part of a college/school or national governing body where business decisions (pro sports) and regulations/rules play a much more important role.
4)
What was
your score for the “Are You Ready for Learning Online Quiz? Why do you think
you earned the score you received
- 95 was my score. I think I scored that score mainly because I agreed with these statements. I am willing to learn and signed up (and paid!) for this course because I want to educate myself further and also reach my next goal of receiving a graduate degree.
5)
How do
you think you can improve your readiness for online learning?
- I think scheduling your week/days and set aside specific times to study/do assignments will help. That way, I'd be avoiding to pile up a bunch of "homework" and having to try to get everything done in a rush.
6)
Do you
believe that knowledge is created from experience?
- Mainly, yes I think so.
