ESPE Club, promoting a healthy lifestyle
The club that I want to represent is the ESPE club. Since my major is Physical Education, I wanted to find something that could help me become more knowledgeable with that. The ESPE club promotes physical activity and an overall healthy lifestyle. It is very important that these issues are emphasized with everyone because your physical health is essential. I want to help people better understand about taking care of their bodies and help them realize the ways that they could be hurting their physical health and ways that they can increase their physical health as well.

Blog Analysis
The blog that I chose to analyze is called Breakthrough Basketball by Jeff and can be viewed by going to http://www.breakthroughbasketball.com/blog. It is a basketball coaching blog started by Jeff Haefner and features insight from Joe Haefner, Don Kelbick, and Paul Giacomelli. They are all four basketball coaches and teachers of the game.
They define themselves as teachers of fundamentals and doing the right thing. They also write that they are very passionate and feel that coaches have great opportunites to have a positive impact on their player's lives.
The site appeals to coaches because it offers a lot of advice on techniques to improve your team's performance. It also has several ideas for drills, plays, and how to handle certain situations on the basketball court and during practice. This is very helpful information for coaches and also for young players looking to develop their game and become a better rounded player.
The writers, the four coaches, present the subject matter and content in the form of articles. They write frequently and take questions from the comments section and answer them as well. A lot of information is covered and since they have a lot of experience combined, the analysis and tips are very helpful. They will also give personal accounts of when they tried a certain play or tried practicing a certain way and how that situation turned out for them. Their content is also organized into sections based on what the reader would like to read about or improve.
The blog is attempting to communicate that they are a place where anyone can come to their blog and find helpful information on how to coach and play.

Public Spheres
Public Spheres are very common and in a variety of places at the University of Southern Indiana. It is a place where someone can go and conversate about a mutual interest or vent about an issue in a public setting.
They include coffee shops, libraries, blogs, newspapers, social networking websites, restuarants, school board meetings or any other type of social gathering to discuss a topic. In my opinion, they are crucial to making progress in many areas. If several opinions are gathered in one meeting, then it will be easier to analyze all of the information and come to a common ground or agreement. Having a process like this will definitely help many things get resolved quicker.
Examples of public spheres at USI are Starbucks, the group meeting rooms in the Rice Library, bulletin boards in classrooms, the LED ticker out of the PAC, the USI television channel, and the recreation center. The school is also building a technology building that will likely have gathering spaces in it as well. They differ in format by how you access them, such as through television, driving, or walking to class. For example, if you are interested in sports games, you would receive information from the LED ticker out of the PAC. If you are looking for information regarding a event for a club, it would likely be posted on a bulletin board outside of or around a classroom.
