Russell Rice’s grade 8 Social Studies classes participated in this interactive program that explores the vast array of jobs associated with the NFL: the high expectations for players and coaches, the short career span of a professional player, the grueling hours, the broadcasters, referees, camera people, technical assistants, sports agents, doctors, equipment managers, and people who take care of the field and stadium. It takes hundreds of people working together to execute one game.
Excellent video conference provider! A great opportunity for students to learn about real life examples of careers and what they need to do to get there. Many thanks to Jerry Csaki and Adam Shipley for engaging presentations.
