It’s been an interesting process, but I can’t question the results: I’ve been selected as a Knight-Wallace fellow by the University of Michigan, for 2012-2013 school year. It’s going to be an interesting ride, as I am taking a step back from the daily grind of writing to look at the issue of concussions and athletes. Michigan is doing some interesting things with athletes and the NeuroSport department. I hope to learn more about all aspects of concussions. Maybe write a book or something in-depth on this.
I have to give much love to espnW, the New York Times, my family, Allison Creekmore, Lynn Zinser, Lydia Craver, Michigan Professor Dr. Andy Markovits, and KWF alums Linda Robertson, Micki Maynard, Tom Stanton and Wayne Drehs for their love, support and everything along the way. And a thank you to director Charles Eisendrath, Birgit Rieck and the KWF interview board for picking me.
It’s going to be an interesting year for sure. And I can’t wait to see Tammy Watt, 313 native, in Sao Paolo!
