Your Reason: I really enjoy sports, and I want to go to college for business, I also have always found the way that money is involved in sports complex and interesting.
Your Story: When I was younger I used to play video games all the time, my favorite was NBA 2k, in the game there was a game mode called my gm, in that game mode you were able to be a gm and decide what players you wanted, how much money you could put toward certain things, but they never went into depth on how those decisions were made. I could play this game for hours and hours just trying to make my team overpowered, but there were restraints like cap space and contract limitations. I never understood the money aspect of the game and was confused why I couldn’t just offer a lot of money to each player or make whatever trades I wanted. Nowadays I am less naive but still mesmerized by the financial aspects of sports.
Choose a “critical incident” that set you on your path and helped you uncover how you want to make an impact (your contribution) through your senior project experience.
Your Resources: My ability to do research when I’m genuinely interested has always allowed to me find out any information that I’m curious about.
Your Strengths:
Describe how you uncovered this interest/curiosity/passion (what energizes you) and what you’re good at (your talent).
Your Result
State Your Purpose:
Share your purpose statement; the integration of your reason and resources.
I want to in the end understand the financial aspects of sport teams, and hopefully create my own team using those restrictions and rules.
Share Your How: How will you deliver that purpose to the world through your Senior Project? What will you do/make? I’m going to make a presentation that explains the process of my learning as well as how I made my own team.
Give a call to action: How do you want people to help you deliver your purpose?
I need people to help me find connections within the industry.
Nice pitch! is there a system already in place that would allow you to do this?
You might want to look at how finances affect a teams overall performance, and then look at the best and worst case scenarios, to get a look of the spectrum of how teams benefit and don’t.
This is really good!
