I feel as if I have gained a lot from taking SPH-M426. Over the course of the semester, I was given an in-depth exposure to the sales aspect of the sports industry. Practically every aspect of sports sales that one could think of, from CRM’s and DMB’s to ticket sales for corporate suites, was touched upon in this course. The sheer magnitude content covered in this course made me feel as if some of the earlier topics and assignments had occurred in a prior semester. In fact, as I looked Canvas to formulate a response for this paper, I was actually a bit surprised to see that the baseball sales calls and Ice to the Eskimos quizzes had occurred this semester. An aspect of this course that I particularly appreciated was how the instructor …show more content…
Essentially, if not enough tickets are sold, there is no chance to recoup the lost revenue from other sources such as concessions or parking as these sources are reliant on ticket sales. This course taught me that not only are ticket sales the lifeblood of the sports industry, but also that the possession of sales skills is practically a prerequisite for any young professional hoping to enter the sports industry. Attaining above-average interpersonal and persuasive skills are seen by many to be crucial for those seeking a career in sports. Seeing as how a majority of entry-level jobs in the sports industry are in sales, this conviction rings particularly true. I had a difficult time conjuring changes that I’d make to this course. In all honesty, I felt as if this course is near-perfectly constructed as is. If I had to come with a suggestion it would be to find ways use class time to harbor back what we had learned much earlier; particularly from the slides and article reviews. The length of the semester coupled with the sheer magnitude of content covered in this class can make it easy for one to forget about what they’ve learned earlier on. I find myself struggling with this problem now, as I frantically try to reintroduce myself to some of the material in the earlier lectures and article reviews as I prepare for the final
Gun safety is a topic that has been more prevalent as time goes on. Some people believe that guns should be illegalized, while others believe we should add more laws concerning gun safety. The article with the information this essay uses is “Some Inconvenient Gun Facts for Liberals” By Nicholas Kristoff.
This article continues to explain that once a sports marketer creates a product and advertises it on a small scale, “Sports marketers get ahead by gradually representing bigger, more important and more prestigious sports teams, companies, associations, and athletes.” In other words, sports marketers need to have a plan of action to promote their product on a larger scale over time. Also, sports marketers spend much of their planning on the aspect of promotion. Mihai verifies that the category of promotion serves to prove that the product is desirable through advertising, sales, sponsorship and public relations. If a sports marketer follows these planning steps, his/her work will lead to a successful product with a large margin of profit.
a. The first and most prominent thing that has worked well for me in this course was getting 2 attempts for every quiz and test. You told me that you believe in mastery learning and so do I. Learning from your mistakes brings an entirely new level of understanding. Also, if I do worse than expected on the first attempt I’m not stuck with a bad mark that I’m not satisfied with
I liked everything about this course. The seminars, study plans, and the weekly discussions help
Professional sports has become one of the most popular industries in the world today. The media spends billions of dollars on advertisements and teams spend millions of dollars on professional athletes all for one reason, the fans. The fans ticket sales and merchandise purchases are what keeps all the sport teams around and prevents professional athletes from losing their jobs. There are three types of fans in the sports world, average fans, fanatics, and fair-weather fans.
Hello mother, it’s me, Richard. I know it’s been a long time but I figured it’s about time to write back. I’ve been living in Jamestown for these past 13 years, with a stable job and great friends. I just wanted to start over ever since my wife, Betty died back in England. I lost everything after her death, hope, dignity, money, etc. I decided to come to Jamestown to begin a new life filled with opportunities and companions. I haven’t written sooner because I was afraid that the family would be disappointed in me, for just running away from my problems. The thing is, I didn’t run away, I just started afresh. Anyway, the colony is located in a swampy area with a river flowing by with gruesome, dirty water. The stream isn’t resourceful for farming so it’s pretty hard to grow food here. That’s what
Themes are an important part of uncovering the mysteries and secrets of a book. A theme is the author’s way of conveying the idea of the novel. In Animal Farm by George Orwell there are many ideal themes that can be extremely surprising to the reader and gives the reader a completely different perspective of the novel. George Orwell has done an amazing job with having several different themes that leave you thinking. Themes such as tyrants, the role of the masses, and religion have caused the novel to adopt the name of “literary merit”.
This was by far the most challenging course that I have encountered while obtaining my Master’s Degree in Educational Technology from UCMO. That is not a negative comment as this course has actually impacted me professionally more than any other course I’ve taken to date. This course has taken more time to complete the assignments, more of my attention to detail, and more of my creativity. The last point was the best part about this course. I consider myself to be fairly creative and this course definitely allowed me to do that while bringing my somewhat odd personality to a professional forum. For this I am grateful. Let’s get to the good stuff, shall we?
As there are many important variables in this decision process that are not under the direct control of the sports marketer such as the players performance or lack of competition in match, it is vital to ensure that fans enjoy a positive experience. It is necessary in an increasingly competitive and cluttered sporting landscape to strategically manage the variables that are under the control of sports marketers. It is essential to the sports marketer to understand which dimensions spectators perceive as important (Michael D. Clemes, 2011).
Some areas where I need to improve include transitions between paragraphs, being to repetitive, and my conclusions. This class has definitely helped me make my transitions better; however they still could use some improvement. I have to make sure that the reader can comprehend my thought process and that my transitions do not get in the way of the flow of the paper. In some of the rough drafts for my essays I could not find links between paragraphs at all but after work shopping in class I believe that they have significantly improved. I also need to make sure that I do not repeat the same ideas or words too many
Turns out the least helpful section of this course in my opinion was the chapter on actively reading. I have always been an avid reader and I’ve never had a problem with reading comprehension so most of the information and reading strategies that were presented in the text just sounded redundant and didn’t seem to apply to me. There isn’t much I would change about the course except for maybe the length of some writing assignments.
Overall, I have been very impressed with how this course is going so far. I appreciate having a short presentation on the topic each week then having the opportunity to discuss the topic with other group members. I have learned a lot from the readings as well as from other group members. By having everyone share their ideas and thoughts, I feel that I have gotten more out of this course than I had expected. With everyone coming from different educational backgrounds and experiences, it has been interesting to be exposed to different ideas and perceptions on some of these topics. In addition, having group members question and challenge my ideas have promoted me to think more in-depth and explore more closely about the topics. As of right now, there seems to be no issues with my group. Everyone participates in weekly discussions as well as writing the summary. Ideas and opinions are shared in a respectful manner
The business of sports is one of the fastest growing industries in the country. All over the world, many people participate as players and spectators in a variety of sporting activities, creating opportunities for the marketing of a company’s goods and services. An important part of the business of sports is sports marketing, which revolves around understanding consumer behavior and motivating target markets to purchase goods and services. Sports marketing at Clemson University has many different aspects ranging from sports and technology and sport law to sponsorship and sports economics.
In summary, this course has really educated my view of being a teacher as well as being able to interact with today’s diverse and fluctuating educational setting. Therefore, the discussions were very good ways in understanding how
I think this course has more prepared me for teaching in higher education through providing various perspectives and considerations around diverse challenges within a teaching and learning environment. This course taught about effective teaching practices that encourages a teaching professional to
