WEBVTT

00:00:01.537 --> 00:00:02.317
All right.

00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:04.670
So today we have a, a

00:00:04.684 --> 00:00:05.724
guest speaker,

00:00:05.724 --> 00:00:06.724
our graduate

00:00:06.774 --> 00:00:08.020
undergraduate,

00:00:08.607 --> 00:00:09.417
graduate

00:00:09.528 --> 00:00:10.588
Ben Stille.

00:00:10.588 --> 00:00:13.340
Ben Stille also plays

00:00:13.340 --> 00:00:14.170
Nebraska football

00:00:14.170 --> 00:00:16.380
here at the university too.

00:00:16.700 --> 00:00:19.340
And Ben, if you can introduce yourself,

00:00:19.352 --> 00:00:21.692
where where you're from, and what,

00:00:21.692 --> 00:00:22.961
was your major and

00:00:22.964 --> 00:00:24.494
plan after your graduation,

00:00:24.494 --> 00:00:25.865
that would be nice.

00:00:28.210 --> 00:00:29.590
Yep, I'm Ben Stille

00:00:29.590 --> 00:00:31.740
I'm from Ashland, Nebraska.

00:00:31.740 --> 00:00:33.849
I majored in Nutrition and Health Sciences

00:00:34.485 --> 00:00:36.805
I did the Nutrition, Exercise, and Health

00:00:36.805 --> 00:00:38.080
Sciences option,

00:00:38.949 --> 00:00:40.669
and right now I plan to

00:00:40.669 --> 00:00:43.572
pursue an NFL career after I graduate.

00:00:43.972 --> 00:00:46.202
After that as far as my career goes,

00:00:47.579 --> 00:00:48.451
I plan to go into

00:00:48.451 --> 00:00:51.081
strength and conditioning field,

00:00:51.081 --> 00:00:53.411
probably the collegiate field.

00:00:53.685 --> 00:00:54.715
Great great.

00:00:55.534 --> 00:00:56.893
So Ben is also

00:00:58.001 --> 00:00:59.053
working on

00:00:59.053 --> 00:01:00.029
Master's degree,

00:01:00.029 --> 00:01:01.875
actually he is working on the, first,

00:01:01.887 --> 00:01:04.367
he finished the first Master's degree and

00:01:04.402 --> 00:01:06.972
then he is working on the second Master's

00:01:07.074 --> 00:01:10.218
degree but at this point he's taking some

00:01:10.218 --> 00:01:13.668
classes towards that, degree

00:01:13.668 --> 00:01:14.708
this summer.

00:01:14.708 --> 00:01:15.830
and the coming fall.

00:01:16.223 --> 00:01:17.993
Ben, when you think about

00:01:18.014 --> 00:01:19.664
undergraduate program,

00:01:19.664 --> 00:01:20.951
your option was

00:01:20.951 --> 00:01:23.259
Nutrition, Exercise, and Health Science

00:01:23.259 --> 00:01:27.019
option, in the major of Nutrition and

00:01:27.019 --> 00:01:28.129
Health Sciences,

00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:30.260
What were the, some of the

00:01:30.260 --> 00:01:32.544
challenges you faced when you think about

00:01:32.544 --> 00:01:34.605
that, when you come into the university

00:01:34.605 --> 00:01:36.728
and then when you started taking some

00:01:36.728 --> 00:01:38.644
courses, what are what are the,

00:01:38.644 --> 00:01:41.394
some of the challenges you faced?

00:01:46.694 --> 00:01:47.735
Yah, um...

00:01:47.735 --> 00:01:49.565
I think, a, a bigger challenge for me

00:01:49.565 --> 00:01:51.675
was just managing my time, just between

00:01:51.675 --> 00:01:54.405
football and school, I'd say this,

00:01:54.405 --> 00:01:55.858
this major is

00:01:55.858 --> 00:01:57.994
definitely a time-consuming one.

00:02:00.528 --> 00:02:02.868
May, maybe a lot more so than some of the

00:02:02.868 --> 00:02:04.814
others, so it's really just learning how

00:02:04.814 --> 00:02:07.685
to manage your time, prioritizing your

00:02:07.685 --> 00:02:10.165
schooling, and really being able to make

00:02:10.165 --> 00:02:12.271
sure you excel, for me it excelled both in

00:02:12.271 --> 00:02:14.225
the classroom and on the field.

00:02:14.747 --> 00:02:18.490
Ok, great great. On the other hand,

00:02:18.490 --> 00:02:20.001
when you think about

00:02:20.001 --> 00:02:23.072
when you graduate from, undergraduate

00:02:23.072 --> 00:02:24.330
majoring in ex, Nutrition

00:02:24.330 --> 00:02:27.430
and Health...Sciences,

00:02:27.430 --> 00:02:29.990
what are the benefits you think

00:02:29.990 --> 00:02:31.215
you gained,

00:02:31.215 --> 00:02:33.500
from this major?

00:02:35.798 --> 00:02:37.908
I think it, it did a really good job of

00:02:37.908 --> 00:02:40.436
encompassing for me, the nutrition aspect

00:02:40.436 --> 00:02:42.797
and the exercise science aspect, both of

00:02:42.797 --> 00:02:45.486
which I'm interested in.

00:02:45.486 --> 00:02:46.316
As well as just

00:02:46.316 --> 00:02:49.620
giving a, an overall well-encompassing,

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:52.846
degree in the, in the sciences and really

00:02:52.846 --> 00:02:54.766
just giving a well-rounded view of all

00:02:54.766 --> 00:02:57.900
those, all three of those areas.

00:02:57.900 --> 00:03:00.856
Great, great great. Finally, there my,

00:03:00.856 --> 00:03:03.580
my last question is you know thinking

00:03:03.580 --> 00:03:06.166
about the, when you are, a new

00:03:06.166 --> 00:03:08.696
freshman coming in to University of

00:03:08.696 --> 00:03:10.070
Nebraska-Lincoln,

00:03:10.070 --> 00:03:11.852
what are the, some advice

00:03:11.852 --> 00:03:14.412
you might have for incoming freshmen?

00:03:16.485 --> 00:03:18.255
Yah, I think I think one of the most

00:03:18.255 --> 00:03:19.942
important things is just developing

00:03:19.942 --> 00:03:22.432
really good study habits, especially your

00:03:22.442 --> 00:03:25.130
first few years of college,

00:03:25.130 --> 00:03:25.940
it's definitely

00:03:25.940 --> 00:03:28.754
more intense than than high school,

00:03:28.754 --> 00:03:31.289
and developing those habits really early

00:03:31.289 --> 00:03:33.092
when the the degree is not quite as

00:03:33.092 --> 00:03:35.452
intense in the beginning, will definitely

00:03:35.452 --> 00:03:37.202
serve you well,

00:03:37.202 --> 00:03:38.422
for later in your degree

00:03:38.422 --> 00:03:40.332
when it really starts to intensify.

00:03:41.032 --> 00:03:43.192
Great great, great advice,

00:03:43.668 --> 00:03:44.458

your future and we will be connecting in

the future as well so,
