Hello Everyone, My name is Hunter Haas and I am a Senior
Sport Management student here at BGSU. I was born and raised in Perrysburg,
Ohio just about ten minutes up the road. In high school I played varsity baseball
and of course football on the recreational side. I came to BGSU because I have
been a lifelong falcon fan and growing up really didn’t think of anywhere else
as an option. Once here, I knew BG was the place for me. After getting involved
with SMA and the Sport Management Program it is hard not to fall in love with
the university.
For the female athlete that I would love to see play I chose
Abby Wambach. I feel that she is doing so much for young female athletes in the
U.S. as well as making soccer the cool sport to play for our youth. Abby plays
with such passion and intensity, making her a must see on the soccer field. The
male athlete that I would most like to see is LeBron James. I feel that James
is the definition of what we classify as an athlete and physical specimen. The physical
dominance that he displays on most players would be well worth the price of
admission and I would love to see him play, preferably up close.
I am going into this class with an open mind and hope to be
challenged to think in a more productive way. An understanding of gender roles
and presence is important in being a sport professional.
Hi Hunter,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you have an open mind about the topics we will be discussing in class. On the subject of Lebron James, I heard Chris Broussard speculating on whether he might return to Cleveland when his contract expires with the Heat. That is so difficult for me to fathom. Do you think we will see him again? As for Abby Wambach, I can definitely appreciate what you said about her intensity. I love seeing her make head shots when she is near the goal.
I look forward to reading more of your entries.
Dr. Spencer
Hunter-
ReplyDeleteWhen LeBron was in Cleveland I got to watch him many times in person and you are correct, the athletic ability that he possesses is just astounding to watch. Something about him that really stands out is the work he does without the ball too. He is a player who "gets his work in early" and because of that, he puts himself in great position when the time comes to have to dominate. I have gotten to meet him up close and he really is a physical specimen like you say he is. I literally felt like I was talking to a brick wall when I met him.
