The Final Routine of Nihir Kothari

Story/Video posted April 25, 2013 in Sports by Sallie Sharer

Nihir Kothari was a red-shirt senior training for his final season as a Nittany Lion when he tore his ACL on a dismount in practice. Nihir's big dreams for this season shattered. He did not give up, however, and trained every day in hopes that he would be healthy enough to stick a dismount in one routine in the NCAA Championships. It was six months of surgeries, rehab, and training all for 30 seconds on the still rings one last time in Rec Hall.

Senior / Broadcast Journalism

I am projected to graduate from the Pennsylvania State University College of Communications with a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism with a minor in communication arts & sciences and in the Liberal Arts.

With a strong passion for sports, I spent my college years contributing to the Daily Collegian as a sports writer. (A detailed synopsis of my time spent there can be found in my Resume pdf file.)

I gained a marketing internship with Penn State Sports Properties, a Learfield Property, where I explored the marketing aspects in the sports industry.

Also, in my final semester at Penn State I gained an internship with GoPSUSports.com covering women’s gymnastics.

I am currently seeking a full-time position where I can combine my professional experience, studies, and aspirations in the public relations sphere of a corporation or sports team.
