A recent question I’ve been pondering is, “Is sportsmanship dead?"

Because I work in collegiate recreation, I’m surrounded by a culture of sport and leisure on a daily basis. Sports culture inspired me to work in this field and is one of the main motivators for pursuing a career in collegiate recreation.

I have always had a passion for sports and enjoy each aspect of competition. Therefore, it was a natural fit to take an on-campus job in college as an intramural sports official. When I started officiating, I enjoyed it and learned something from each shift I worked.
