Fall continuing education video series: Working with student-athletes - are we getting it right?

Serving student-athletes: Are we getting it right? Each session was video-taped at the 2012 CoSIDA St. Louis Convention and the series is a prominent piece of our fall continuing ed initiatives.

WED., OCT. 10: Paperless game notes? How to service the media and public in an online age

Presenters: Chris Yandle (University of Miami/formerly of Baylor); Ted Gangi, CollegePressBox.com; Chris Freet, University of Miami
When is providing too much information a bad thing? Who has time to read a 100-page note packet for a non-televised, non-conference game? Not the media. It’s time to streamline your notes and promote the best. Our job is to make the media’s job of covering our schools easier, not harder (and make our jobs easier as well). In the social media age, less is definitely more.
