The Office

Today was my second day, and it was a day spent in the office whereas yesterday I was in and out more often. My day started at 8 am. From then until noon time I worked continually on a project. The project started with me creating a spread sheet with the records (win, loss, tie) of every single sports team, fall through spring, from 2006 to the present. As you can imagine, this takes up quite some time because there are roughly eight teams each term, three terms a year, for six years. It was quite tedious, but in the end the spread sheet looked good and helped me to continue with the project. The goal of the project is to take the spread sheet of Proctor's Athletic Records from 2006-11 and cross reference it with a list of students who received academic violations during this time period, and analyze it to see if there is any correlation between winning records, and "winning" students. The hope is that the information will prove that teams with players that have not been affected by disciplinary violations will boast better performance than that of a team that has players that have been involved with disciplinary violations. However, the project is not yet completed because of the huge amount of information that needs to be cross referenced and analyzed, but following completion I will fill you in on my findings. Asides from this project, I also started to work on my own personal philosophy of athletics. This is an on-going process and hopefully by the end of the next three weeks I will have created my very own philosophy towards athletics. This was overall a very successful day in the office!
