My "Different" Experience at ONU Social Media Workshop

 One thing about me is that I’m not a big fan of long conferences or seminars but when I have to go for a part of my grade I will be there being present. This recent seminar I was not present or attentive to anything going on to be fully honest. The reason why I wasn’t really focused was due to the time of the seminar. If people know me they would know I'm not a morning person so having to be at an event at 9:30 am definitely a number on my body in terms of my energy. But one of the more basic reasons why I didn’t feel that I was locked in on the seminar was because it had nothing to do with anything I was looking to study. Even though I picked a class for social media it was technically a fill in course because I’m a finance major so this class is really far from what I’m looking to gain with my degree. But even though I didn’t enjoy it that much I at least can talk about some of the things I heard during the seminar.

To start off my day I listened to our keynote speaker Jason Therrien who was the first keynote speaker we had for the event who didn’t graduate from Ohio Northern University. His talk was interesting for me because he got the crowd involved even though people were tired due to the early start. He also talked about the truth about the future trends going out in the world of social media. After that I can’t really tell you about much else because I wasn’t actually listening to what was going on but some of the session I went to was about topics like, Skills to quickly improve your social media presence, how to properly use AI (artificial intelligence) in social media without abusing it, and make meaningful impacts within your social media career. There was one that stuck out to me at the end of the event and it was actually from an alumni of the university who currently works with Abercrombie and fitch’s social media team. The reason why this one stuck out to me was that it came from someone who was in the same position I was in and also that they work at a brand that I am actually familiar with unlike the other speakers.

Social Media Marketing using TikTok Shop

In this week's chapter we talked about social media marketing on the constantly growing app TikTok and in this post I want to dig a bit deeper into one of TikTok’s newest features. It has already been well established that TikTok has proven itself to be more than just a platform for viral dances and memes. With over 1 billion active users, it’s become a powerhouse for brands looking to connect with audiences in creative and authentic ways. And with the introduction of TikTok Shop, the platform has officially blurred the lines between content and commerce, opening up new possibilities for marketers and businesses of all sizes. At its core, TikTok thrives on short form video content that feels organic and engaging. Unlike traditional ads, TikTok videos are often native in feel, blending storytelling, humor, trends, and creativity. This authenticity builds trust, and trust is gold in marketing. Now, with TikTok Shop, that trust can be converted directly into sales without users ever l...

Week 5: Leg Day

  Hello readers, today is the 5th week of off season training and today I’m talking about our leg day lift. Leg day is always a highlight in our summer workouts. For anyone who plays football, strengthening the lower body is absolutely necessary for both power and performance. Today’s workout was all about pushing the limits and leaving everything in the weight room. For Coach Walker each workout is always about building explosive power, endurance, and stability, but today’s focus was on squats and hang cleans, two lifts that are integral to both our training and on-field performance.  We started with hang cleans, which are one of the best exercises to build explosive power, especially for football players. This lift best reproduces the movements involved in sprinting, cutting, and tackling. With a decent grip on the bar, I explosively pulled it up from a dead hang, quickly snapping my hips to create explosive speed and momentum. The barbell flies up, and you catch it at shoul...

Week 2: The Lift that almost took me out!

       Hello to my readers we are now on week 2 of my spring camp journey. To do a small recap on what happened last week we just began the year and had our first team meeting with the head coach to go over the standard and go over the scheduling for the following spring season. Also that slipped my mind last week is that we have now added a brand new strength coach who I’m a fan of and that some of our former players are going to be the assistant strength coach which I believe will help us get over the hump this coming season. Now to get into this week after a bit of a recap, we have finally gotten to week two and to be all honest it was a way harder week then the first one.   Starting off strong on Monday we had our usual morning lifts. Now mind you our lifts are a different style then it was last year and what I mean by that is last year we were big on force output on our weight which I excelled at but now it’s a bit different with Coach Walker (The strengt...
