For starters, my name is Brandy Rosebrock and I am an event planning/tourism major. I'm from Hicksville, OH which is about an hour west of Bowling Green. I am taking this class as an elective because I'm interested in finding out many things I'm sure I don't know. I am a big fan of the Miami Dolphins who I am very proud of (for the most part) this season and the Ohio State Buckeyes. Of course I support my Falcons as much as possible too. I also like the Cavaliers, but I am more into playing basketball than watching it. I don't know very much about the history of sports so I’m hoping this class will give me a good boost of knowledge.
Personally, I used to play soccer when I was in elementary school, softball from t-ball all the way up to my Senior year in high school, and basketball from jr. high to my Senior year. I have always loved playing sports, being part of a team, and of course winning. Basketball has always been my favorite sport to play. It's exciting and I love every second of it. I even coached 4th, 5th, and 6th graders throughout high school because I love helping them understand the game and I love seeing their excitement when they master a layup or hit their first jump shot.
As for my sports interests, being a Miami Dolphins fan wasn't really a choice in my household. I was dressed in Dolphins gear since I was a baby. My dad is a huge Dolphins fan so it just sort of fell into my lap. That’s ok with me because I love them too. I have only seen them play in Miami once but I definitely plan to make the trip again someday. Football is my favorite sport to watch and is really the only one I do so consistently. I'll catch a good NBA or WNBA game though every now and then.
If I could go back in time, the athlete I would most like to watch would be either Dan Marino or Michael Jackson. These two athletes are two of the greatest at their sports in my opinion and I would consider it an honor to watch them at their best.
In taking this class, I am hoping to gain a broader knowledge into the history of sport and its effect on our culture. Other than that, I am very interested in learning about the different aspects of sports that I don't usually encounter.

Brandy,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great start for your blog. I am guessing that you may have been watching the Cavs vs. Lakers yesterday since that was a huge game for the NBA. It is interesting to me that your dad was such a big Dolphins fan, but I would imagine he was a fan when they had their undefeated season. I had some friends who became big Dolphins fans then.
Your sports interests and involvements have been quite diverse. Since you have worked with teaching kids to play basketball, did you ever think of coaching? As I may have mentioned in class, I taught and coached tennis for about 20+ years and I loved it! It was difficult to give up.
I hope that this class lives up to your expectations and I look forward to reading more of the posts on your blogs! Nice introduction!
