Norfolk, Va. -- Over 100 Monarch freshmen student-athletes were in attendance last Wednesday night for the annual social media training seminar presented by the Old Dominion University Student-Athlete Development Team. The event featured guest speaker LaChina Robinson, a prominent college basketball and WNBA analyst and reporter for ESPN.
Robinson, a former Wake Forest women’s basketball student-athlete, engaged students in conversations regarding the importance of branding themselves in a positive light and the power of social media. Students first completed an exercise where they were instructed to come up with three words that they felt best illustrated themselves and walked through how an individual’s perception of themselves may be vastly different than the perception of their peers.
