Throughout my Culminating Experience—Business Project, I was tasked with creating a PowerPoint that San Antonio Sports could use to advertise its athletes and their success after their participation in the San Antonio Sports All-Star Game. After completing those slides, I created a stat book for the organization that deeply investigated player and team performance.

San Antonio Sports was a fantastic organization to work alongside with. Working with David Castro on their All-Star High School Football Game was very exciting as I saw the talent they bring in year in and year out. Through this experience, I was able to research the talents of past alums and where they are now. Additionally, I researched high school graduates in their 2024 class and where they are going to college. Through this experience, I learned a lot about SA Sports and myself. The growth I saw in navigating software like Excel, PowerPoint, and others will benefit me far past graduation. Thank you, Coach Geyer, David Castro, and San Antonio Sports, for this great opportunity.

There are four things you can always control, no matter your circumstances. Control what you can control, that is: 

  • Your attitude 
  • Your effort you give in what you do 
  • Your self discipline 
  • Your capacity to care and love the things you do

For my Capstone Experience - Business Project, I worked with San Antonio Sports and David Castro, Director of Events & Operations. I researched former players that played in the annual San Antonio All-Star Game at the Alamodome. I was looking for stats of former players who are now playing football at the college level. There was a total of over 400 athletes for this project that I had to find information on. I also created a "hype" video for the organization to boost awareness of the all-star game. This Capstone Experience - Business Project was super helpful in getting my foot in the door of the sports job community. I am grateful for the opportunity. I have learned various new skills and met some amazing people along the way. This experience is one of my favorite projects I worked on during my time at Texas A&M University.
