My name is Corey Ruth and this is the first blog that i have done. I am a senior at Bowling Green State University and I am majoring in Sports Management. I play rugby here at school and we are currently ranked number three in the nation. I love to play rugby but I also used to play hockey and lacrosse and both those sports still hold my interest.
I love to play sports but for some sports I am not such a big fan of watching all sports. I try and play basketball and baseball on occasion but basketball doesn't allow physical contact which is the one thing I love about playing sports. Also, baseball is to slow moving and their isn't enough action. I can't play sports that don't allow me to hit someone else because when playing sports, that is the one thing that I like to do most in sports.
I am writing this blog for my sports management class which is sports and globalization. I took this class because I like to learn how the world is affected by different sports that are played in different places all over the world. Rugby is such a big sport is most of the world except for in America and I hope that taking this class will help to explain the reason for that.
Hi Corey,
ReplyDeleteI thought I had already posted a comment on your Introduction, but apparently I did not. So I apologize for not doing so sooner. Your description of sports that you like to play confirms my impressions of rugby. I saw one women's rugby game and remember one of the players saying she was ready to "crack some heads." That was not the kind of thing you would hear tennis players say before they played!
I can also relate to what you said about having a greater interest in playing sports than watching them. That is probably the one drawback to coaching in that you cannot get in the game and effect the outcome directly. I am really glad that you are able to provide input about rugby and look forward to our discussion of it. I also look forward to reading more of your blog entries.
