Jorin Gerveni Capstone

Bracket of the Tournament
Bracket of the Tournament
For my senior project, I was interested in finding the best way to efficiently host a sporting event. I did this by creating and hosting a 3v3 soccer tournament. I contacted soccer players at both SLA campuses to participate in this event. Soccer is my passion and by hosting this tournament, I took advantage of this opportunity to explore a possible future career as I will be pursuing Sports Management at Drexel University this upcoming fall. My mentor, Mark Johnson, has provided great help in the course of organizing and hosting this tournament. I have learned how to set milestones and complete objectives, how to advertise and most importantly how to host a successful event. Finding the perfect date and venue were the largest obstacles that I faced along the way. Relying on the recent inconsistent weather patterns complicated matters as well. On the other hand, I learned much more through my research and the success of my event. The participation and enthusiasm from SLA Center City students, SLA at Beeber students, and alumni made this capstone a success.
