Final Blog

     Throughout the semester my idea has developed so much. I have come to realize how important sport science contributes to my technological idea. Understanding how a powerful computer with right applications can amplify my project. From using networking all the way to building a computer from scratch helped contribute to the development of new ideas towards equipment. In the long run these developments can help save careers along with lives for athletes.
     Throughout the semester we were faced to comment on a few blogs. First I commented on Igor Mouity's blog, http://scoffeecup101.blogspot.com/. Then I commented on Sarah Schuster's blog,  http://imanentrepenuar.blogspot.com/. My final blog that I commented on was Zachary Hess's http://lostyourremote.blogspot.com/.
      My overall experience with the project goes beyond the love of sports. A few of my friends have battled concussions because of poor equipment. I rather not deal with concussions since I'm always playing sports. I got to review the equipment provided for athletes right now, which helped me understand why there are so many injuries today.

Week 2- Social Media Importance

         Has anyone ever went to a sporting event. Now how much time was wasted on injury timeouts? I believe in people getting their money's worth. So how about new improvements to equipment for our beloved athletes. The scare for athletes in our time is concussions. For example every sport has had it's fair number of stars missing significant time because of concussions. Guys like Justin Morneau, Sidney Crosby and Desean Jackson. So how can we help keep fans satisfied? I say we create new helmets for every sport and then run tests on them.

      I believe in safety before anything because I love playing sports as well. So recently injuries have played roles in sports but, Arian Foster took it a bit further than necessary. He decided to let the world know through Twitter about how severe his injury was. Social media has progressed to points where athletes criticize whatever they feel is the right thing to do. I think the social media can help me promote new safety equipment because that's what our society is into right now. I can promote my ideas for new helmets or other important equipment players use.

     Soon after letting Twitter see my ideas. It will go out to a player who will likely want to see my idea or scientist. Once that occurs I either help with studies and then go meet the commissioners of the leagues because they must approve everything before they go to it. I am a big believer in promotion of products through social media because their are many brands on twitter like Nike, Adidas and other shoe brands. So here's a word of advice put any entrepreneurship idea on Twitter or Facebook and you soon could be flowing in a source of happiness.
