The "Pros vs. Joes" series may be born out of simple conception, but it was one that tested my skills as a leader and director, as well as my skills in storyboarding and editing. With a dedicated team of videographers, writers, and athletes, we've created not only a project that showcased the talents of the Penn populace, but also a project of community building. The first video with Matt Fallon (who is later featured in our Olympics special series) was so popular within the student athlete community that it open doors to collaboration to the Men's Soccer team, the Ice Hockey team, as well as the Men's and Women's Basketball.
