Jabari Carney 4/22/14 SPM 433 What skills, accomplishments, lessons, professional development have I learned/gained from the

Sport Management program at JCSU? Sports management lets you participate in on the exciting world of sports from a business standpoint. In this major, youll learn about sports themselves. I also gained a strong foundation of knowledge in the field of business, examining how the worlds of business and sports interact and how you can make those interactions more profitable and beneficial for every person and interest involved. I learned in my classes that sports contain the elements of economics, accounting, marketing, psychology, law, and communications. Sport Management here at JCSU produces us student with the leadership, team-building, critical-thinking, and ethical decisionmaking skills needed to help us in our future in sports. In my sport management classes here at JCSU, our department gives use PDAs. PDAs are professional developments activities that help us gain knowledge from different sport managers, to help us in the world of sports. We also have two classes call internship and sport practicum. My internship class, of course helps gain experience of on the job training through the professional careers we wish to pursue. The next class we take that helps us gain experience is sport practicum. Sport practicum is a course that involves actually working in the area of study and using the knowledge and skills that have been learned in a school. JCSU sport management program gave me strengths that includes, a hard work ethic, take initiative in everything I do, I am highly passionate about sports, competitive, good listener. The reason I mentioned my strengths is because the teachers in our sport management program care about our future after graduation, so they are hard on us to do the very best we can.
