Women in Sports

 Growing up playing sports my whole life, I knew I wasn't going to be able to walk away after my last game during my senior year. I knew that I wanted to have a career in sports if I could not play them so I decided that I would major in Sports Management. Being a female though, my classes are predominantly male students. I have to work 10x harder to be able to get a successful career and make it none in the sports industry that this is something that I want to do and something I will do. This is a common occurrence in today's society when it comes to women in sports. Female athletes are still being payed less than men are and women are being given the fun media/marketing careers while men are handling contracts and finances. Just because we are women does not mean that we can not perform at the same level.

Having summer off and being able to hang out with my friends and being able to work at my job and then going back into school work was a big change that I was not ready for.

The Detroit Tigers have been doing exceptionally well this past season. Having a major turn around in their season, they are making a playoff run for the first time in many, many years. Detroit could have 3 of their professional teams all playing at once with the Lions, Tigers, and Pistons going into their seasons. This could be a big year for Detroit sports and could change the culture around the city.
