Here I go again

In honor of getting to search for a new assistant, I offer this little ditty.

Special thanks to my college buddy Myra McEntire for the inspiration to post such a blog. By the way, Myra's an up-and-coming author, so you all need to get on her bandwagon while there is room. Check out her blog as well. Pretty entertaining stuff.

Hope you all enjoy.

#SIDChat Transcript for August 11

Tackled some difficult topics on the #SIDChat on Aug. 11 as we discussed dealing with difficult media personnel and dealing with lack of respect for a SID's time by coaches.

Other topics included how to keep your school in the news during the summer, how to encourage fan interaction on Facebook and much more.

Never underestimate the power of rest

Like most others in sports information, when I latch on to and/or buy into a project, I dive in and like to work as long and as hard as possible to complete the task.

My thinking is: the more I pour myself into this, the quicker it'll get done.

Now, doing this more often than not gets the project done on time, but it might not be the best it could be.

Sometimes when working long and hard on a project, it is good to take a step back from it and take a break.

#SIDChat Transcript for August 3

Another week, another great #SIDChat.

Had a great discussion on making your role as a SID more visible on your campus and within your department, becoming your own media as well as a few other topics.
