The Finale

I have arrived at the final blog with some unfortunate news about Excel Sports. The economy hit our company very hard and Excel Sports may not be around much longer. I suppose in tough economic times, basketball training isn't the first thing on people's lists of things to spend money on. It is not certain that Excel Sports will be shutting down, but it has definitely become a possibility. Definitely one thing I have learned from this experience is that very few careers are permanent. A career can be doing just fine, then times change and you could be jobless. This is the beauty of having a BIS degree. You have the versatility to adapt to a changing economy and a changing workplace. With these traits, it would be very difficult NOT to find a job in any market as long as you do your part and don't take shortcuts. At Excel Sports I gained valuable people skills that I believe I lacked beforehand. I also feel more confident in a leadership role as I led so many classes during my time with Excel Sports. I believe my overall experience at Excel Sports was a positive one. I met a lot of good people and was able to make a lot of good connections for my future. Now I am confident that I have what it takes to begin the next chapter of my life...in the real world.
