Topic Choice

The topic I have chosen this semester is the club tennis here at WSU. I decided on this because I love playing the sport and have been playing for almost 9 years. There is a good size community with club tennis and I am excited to join and be apart of it. The other reason that i decided on this was because i think it will be fairly easy to collect information for this assignment. The club meets twice a week for a 3 hour period and I feel that is a good amount of time to collect photos, audio, and much more. I am excited to create a logo for this too. I did an assignment last year for my COM 102 class where we created logos and I feel I will have the same fun with this one. Also the audio portion could be fun. Getting to interview fellow members or capturing the sounds of the game could be very useful to this project. There are a couple of sources that i found that tie in well with my topic. I found a website called “Essential Tennis” and it is a site full if useful tennis tips. It is a podcast website that dives into different styles and techniques to improve a players performance. Another fun media source that I found was the Youtube channel for the company Tennis Warehouse. The company sells many different tennis products and on their channel they do product reviews with a demonstration videos of racquet performance and talks about which racquets pros use. Finally, I follow a page on Instagram called @Tennis. They post great pictures of pros performing or celebration on the court. All of these inspire me to play the best that I can and I am excited to do this project on the club tennis here at Washington State.
