Off to Summer Camp-Emerging Media Style
This week I’ve been dropping my boys off at basketball camp every day. Listening to the coach talk to the group of kids reminded me of a few things about my work as well.
He said that 80 percent of the games during the season are won in pre-season training camp. If that is true, I think it is time we all did a little “Summer Camp” to get our game in shape for a great season! So, for all of you who thought you were too old for Summer Camp, over the next few weeks we’ll be going back to the basics with Emerging Media Summer Camp. You can catch the tips here on my weekly blog and can come by and discuss them in person at Coffee With Kendall every Thursday morning at 9:30 am at Ellwood’s Coffee.
