Summary
The definition of sports includes the word entertainment. My life has centered around sports (playing, watching, attending, officiating, studying, covering, living). I've developed a skill of creating the entertainment aspect of sports through social media. Helping a sports team create a "Brand" through content, by connecting the team to the fans is my passion.
