These my prototypical customer with my opportunity. This is a student athlete who is faced with the problem of not being compensated for what they bring to their Universities. These student athletes has hobbies that include Video Games, hanging out with friends and resting up. They spend a lot of time training and getting stuff done for school with games and other practices so enjoys just hanging out on the off days. There are many different athletes who all look different. There are men and women of all different races and different backgrounds that come together to represent their schools in their respective sport. These athlete generally drive around scooters at the campus in Gainesville and may drive a car that they had from high school they were luck enough to bring to school with them. They come form all different backgrounds, some of them are adopted, some are with their birth parents. They all come from different backgrounds but are a big family at UF. Some of them do have kids which would make them even more inclined to want to get paid for their services. Most of them range from ages 18 to 23 but will have some outliers as their are grad students and younger students who enroll into school early. They all feel old however, dealing with injuries, stress, soreness, always being tired. These all make them feel older than they actually are.The unique thing about the student athletes are that some come from families that have been die heart Gator fans for years, and others just became Gators when they signed and enrolled to be a student athlete here.
I do feel that I am alike to this customer avatar. I am a student athlete so I understand how there are many people with different backgrounds and coming from different situations. This university and especially its athletic association is a big melting pot that brings people together from all over. I know that off days are spent resting and recovering and there is a big sacrifice of social life in season when times are busy. There is a coincidence as I am around these people all of the time and feel with them on a lot of things.
Hi Tyler,
ReplyDeleteI thought your blog post was very well done. I liked your prototypical customer because they are a student athlete. I like how they are also very diverse in your post. I made sure to include that in my post as well. The fact that you threw in the part about the scooters was cool too because I noticed that about many athletes in Gainesville.

Hi Tyler,
ReplyDeleteLike James mentioned, I also liked how you had a diverse selection of customers for your avatar because it shows how student athletes of all types can benefit from this opportunity. The second picture also does a good job of illustrating how busy the lives of student athletes are while they try to manage all of their obligations. Overall, great job detailing who your prototypical customer is and expressing how these can be athletes of all backgrounds.
