I have now finished the interview portion of the TU Sports Management promotional material by speaking with Lorenzo Guess who handles strength and conditioning for the athletics program at Michigan State University. We got to talk about his role and a little about preparations for the upcoming football season, which is up in the air with the pandemic and all. Once I have been able to transcribe our conversation, I will share parts of it with you. It was a nice and informative session, as were the ones I did with Nathan McCarter and Emily Egbers. I thank all three of them for taking the time to share their successes with me and look forward to sending the highlights over to Dr. Tiell for her department to use.
I also look forward to sending over the modified e-mail list of executive contacts very soon. The count of rejected addresses had been 63, it is now all the way down to 22, which means two-thirds of the remaining list has been cleaned up. Of course, the number of “unknown” e-mails has increased, albeit not by much. Unknown just means the address may or may not be correct. The only way to know is to send communication to that account. If an error message is sent back, then it is not a valid address. If one doesn’t come back, then it went through. I do not like that we have to take a blind stab at some of these addresses, but that is just how it is. The big thing is that I am just about done with this particular project.
