Please share the name of the Sport Entrepreneur you wish to write about. A paragraph or two is sufficient.
For the paper:
You will turn in a paper at the end of Week 7 which will consist of 7-10 pages regarding a sport entrepreneur of your choice (approved by me prior to submission of actual paper). This paper will discuss the life and business venture that the person of your choice has taken on.
