Sport Management

As the major written assignment in SPM 5605: Sport Governance, students complete a Sport Governance Policy Brief at the end of the semester (Appendix A in Canvas). To scaffold student learning and support the development of this assignment, three AI-supported activities will be incorporated throughout the semester. These activities are intended to assist students at different stages of the writing process and enhance their ability to develop, refine, and communicate policy recommendations effectively (Appendix B in Canvas). 

This Spark is designed to help athletic coaching students practice and demonstrate their ability to navigate conversations about food logging with youth athletes. It addresses the instructional challenge of having students articulate informed, research-backed positions on adolescent nutrition tracking while maintaining professional scope of practice.

This Spark activity guides students through close text analysis using a tailored Gemini Gem, then instructs them on how to design and build their own custom Gemini Gem. It addresses the challenge of helping students move past surface-level readings into deep, analytical reflection on literary storytelling techniques while developing practical AI creation skills.
