Overall I felt that my time at UTSA was a good learning experience into a side of college athletics I had never worked in before. It is probably the most stressful side of college athletics just due to the fact that they are the ones releasing information to the public eye about anything and everything about UTSA athletics. The hours can be very long and tedious and you have to be a decent writer in order to succeed in this area. At times, I found myself with not much to do, especially towards the end when most of the sports were finished for the year.
