A few weeks ago, Dan and I had the opportunity to represent our college basketball team, the Waterford Vikings, at a launch event. We had a little photo shoot with some of the other college athletes and then attended an official launch of the Vikings sports. The launch and photo shoot was held at the WIT Arena. The arena is a beautiful, large multi-purpose building. In the arena are 3 basketball courts, many classrooms, a large workout area and many rooms where fitness classes are held. We had our photo shoot outside overlooking all the sports fields outside the arena. Dan and I were sporting the new Vikings basketball uniforms in our pictures. Since we are the Vikings it was only right to have a picture wearing a Viking hat!

After the photo shoot, there was a launch presentation event. All of the athletes were led to sit in the front so we could represent the Vikings sports and show off all of our uniforms. The start of the launch was introductions followed by an awesome video that was created on a drone featuring views of Waterford City and short clips of the various sports at WIT. The rest of the launch, WIT invited three standout athletes to the stage and had a question and answer session with them. The three athletes were athletics, hurling, and soccer. Two of them were in their early 30’s and one was in her early 20’s. It was awesome to learn about their accomplishments as athletes and hear their journeys to success. This was a great event and I am glad Dan and I were invited to attend!
