Day 2 Prsentations

Kristen's explanation of Nike was a very informative analysis of the situations and organizational structure that Nike has. I thought all terms were used correctly when it came to class discussions. There were plenty of good points in the presentation and I like the fact that she did not go into great depth about the sweatshop scandals because I believe that has been overdramatized enough in other classes. Erika's breakdown of the Gopher hockey program and the reasons why they are struggling now are very interesting and how there is a coach in Nebraska that has a specific option in his contract to leave and go coach at the University of Minnesota or Wisconsin. I think the MSHSL and the ADIDAS presentations had good substance with information on the organizations that challenge Nike. Nike is trying to compete with ADIDAS and they also would like to get more sponsorships with high school leagues in different states as well.
