We started to work as a group in this
case study. So team work is the most important thing during our work. We chose
to talk about one of the biggest sport organizations in the county (alforsan
Club). In the beginning I chose my group members that I will work with during
this case study. Then we sat together and started to get some information from
the website such as apenning and closing times and if there is a women’s day or
not so we can decide a day and time for visiting. Also, we asked each other if anyone
knows anything about this organization and we found that one of our case study
team is a member at the club. After that, we started to collect our equipment
such as camera, microphone, stand, notes, and act. I was so excited in the begging
because I really wanted to know more about this club and have a look at the
amazing facilities there or practice one of them with my group members.
We had many interviews during our visit:
some of them were with the manager’s or the head office of each facility and
the others were with the visitors or guests. The results we had were as we expected
them, because this is the most famous sport organization in the city so of course
we should know some information about the club. On the other hand, we had other
information and some of it was about many world records the club had broken. Much
of the information we collected were related to our course Lss 3003 sports.
Because this is a sport club and it contains many sports facilities related to
sport like football, swimming, horse riding, gyms, and act. On the other hand,
the club is related to leisure too because it contains some famous restaurants
and cafes, wedding halls, and it is a hotel also, so that’s what makes Alforsan
club related to our leisure and society.
We completed the case study that we had with
proud and happy faces, because my team really worked hard and we spent a lot of
time to collect the information we needed. Moreover the video that we had make
took us more than the time we expected. As I said we completed the case study successfully:
however the time was our problem because we didn’t have the skills to interview
or video the place and was of we repeated. To be honest I have nothing to say
for this amazing club except thank them because they didn’t refuse any of our
requests and they helped us with our case study. If I had a chance to do the
case study again for sure I would choose the same place again, but this time I would
try to improve the interviewer skills that I had and learn how to use a professional
camera during the case study and for sure I would chose the same team that I worked
with.
