The NCAA bid project proved to be a challenge. On top of the challenge of how best to incorporate the skills of every group member, we had the challenge of communicating and working from a distance. When normally you would meet once or twice a week in person to collaborate, our group meetings happened on facebook. In general, when group projects arise I tend to facilitate and ensure that each part of the project is being completed. The distance factor forced me to focus on my work, and trust that the other group members were getting their work done.
This challenge forced me to grow as a group member. I can now better give up control, and ensure trust in those around me. We were challenged, and at some points frustrated but eventually prevailed and successfully completed our project.
Secondly, the NCAA bid project allowed me to discover resources around the country that can positively impact the future of sport. Through the city of Columbus, GA and the other cities presented, it became apparent that there are resources throughout our country. The future of Sport is bright, if the amount of resources and community members fighting for athletics is any indication.
In conclusion, this project helped me to grow as a leader in athletics. First, it allowed me to go out of my comfort zone when it comes to group projects, and to learn to let go of control. Second, it opened my eyes to the resources we have available across the country.
