JUST DO IT

Image
Why I Chose Nike I decided to look at Nike because it’s one of those brands that everyone knows, but people still have strong opinions about. Whether it’s sneakers, workout gear, or high-fashion collabs, Nike is everywhere. I’ve always liked how the brand ties sports and culture together and how its marketing isn’t just about selling products but about attitude and motivation. I wanted to see what people are actually saying about Nike online and how the company uses social media to handle feedback, promote new drops, and keep people engaged.  Background on Nike Nike started back in 1964 and has grown into a global powerhouse in sportswear and lifestyle apparel.

My name is Isaac. I am a finance major who also spends a lot of time around sports. When I am not in class or studying, I like to golf, snowboard, and coach football at the high school level. This blog is where I will share my thoughts on class topics and connect them to the things I do in life Finance is the field I chose because I like numbers and problem solving. It is about understanding how money works, how people make decisions, and how those decisions affect the bigger picture. Sports fit into that mindset too. Golf keeps me sharp because it is all about focus and patience. Snowboarding gives me an outlet when I want more energy and speed.

That is a little about me and what I will be doing with this blog. Finance, golf, snowboarding, and football coaching are the things that shape how I see the world, and that is the perspective I will b...
