My Athletes Wanted Story – James Lutz
Athletics has helped my life from the time I was young. From an early age my life has revolved around sports. They have helped me during my youth, in college, and in my profession.
When I was young I played as many sports as I could. I loved everything about them. They taught me so much, and helped me shape my life. Sports taught me the value of hard work, and how if your work hard enough you will usually achieve your goals. They taught me how effective working with a team can be. How if you trust your teammates you will be able to achieve most things. Lastly sports helped me see the usefulness of setting and achieving goals. Few things in life are as satisfying as achieving one of your goals.
Athletics played a crucial role during my college life. When I as choosing college I knew I wanted to be a sports management major. Knowing this I was able to make the correct choice in choosing Ohio University as my college. They had the better department and thought it was the better fit for me because of this. The result was that I had a wonderful college experience at what I believe was the right school for me. Also while at school I was able to get an internship working for the Ohio University Football Film Staff. That internship gave me valuable experience that I would use as soon as I graduated.
Now working at the National Collegiate Scouting Association sports are a regular part of my life. The experiences and values I got from sports throughout my life have directly translated to my ability to do my job as a video coordinator. Be it the lessons about hard work, the value of setting and achieving goals, or the actual experience filming games for Ohio University. Sports have helped me achieve my goals and shape the person I have become.
