You might be wondering why I have this bog set up, given that my video series will be used to tell the story about how I get into shape to join the Iona College rugby club. Fair question.
In each video, I will touch upon quite a few different subjects. For example, the multiple aspects that make up the physiological, neurological, and neurobehavioral issues I have had to overcome / still deal with today. Each subject has a lot more depth than I can fit into a single video without making each episode go well over the time limit I gave myself for each episode, so I decided to create a separate platform to expand upon those subjects. I also wanted a platform to talk about issues that, while not directly related to my adventures, were related to the subject of school sports, the groups that govern them, the different levels of college sports, and the way those levels of college sports are looked at by the schools and student bodies, as there are plenty of areas that, to say the least, bug me.
I originally wanted to make this expanded discussion its own series on my channel. Unfortunately, I had trouble agreeing upon a format to do that, and also had trouble figuring out how to work around my very low budget setup in order to maintain the audio and video quality that I expect out of my main series. I set the bar extraordinarily high for myself, because I want my work to be the best it can be.
Starting with the release of my first episode, I hope to do a blog post every week, although I might need to bump it up to doing a post every two weeks once the spring semester begins. Admittedly, I am nervous about having enough content to be able to continuously put out blog posts. Hopefully, that is a common theme, or area of nervousness for the blogging newcomer, and a worry that will prove itself false.
On the YouTube series, I am finally getting back on track with regards to finishing the first episode. My past semester had been wrought with severe depression, and a struggle to stay afloat. Hopefully, between being on Christmas break, and finally getting help (and feeling better than I've felt in a long time), I can finally get my series on track.
There is a lot coming in the next week or two, so stay tuned. Before you know it, I will finally be running down the road to rugby fitness.
