Basketball: Micah Potter and other Ohio State athletes travel to help improve Costa Rican community
Junior center Micah Potter was one of 13 Ohio State athletes to visit Quepos, Costa Rica, in an effort to improve low-income communities through sports-related and life skills activities.
While in Costa Rica for a week, Potter and the other Ohio State athletes built shelters, planted trees and played soccer with the local children.
“It really gave me a perspective to be thankful for what I have here, and it was also really cool to see how willing to help and how happy to help everyone was there,” Potter said.
Potter said the Quepos community was appreciative and happy with the work that OSU athletes were doing.
Also, Potter and the rest of the group received help from local children in cleaning up the city as a part of their service.
“They were all just helping out, and like they were happy to help,” Potter said. “They had big smiles on their faces, it was fun for them.”
Although the goal of the trip was to give back, Potter said he ended up taking something back with him to the states.
“It really just makes me want to take advantage of what I have and all the opportunities that I have,” Potter said. “Really it’s just, for me, to be able to take advantage of all the opportunities that we’re given here at this great university, and really, with that, taking my game to the next level.”

PHOTOS: OHIO STATE FOOTBALL PLAYERS NETWORK AT BUCKEYES' 2018 JOB FAIR
The Ohio State football program held its sixth annual job fair on Friday evening at Ohio Stadium, giving the Buckeyes the chance to meet with representatives from more than 50 organizations and learn about potential post-football job opportunities.
In addition to every player on the Buckeyes' roster, ranging from fifth-year seniors to freshmen who have been on campus for less than a month, Ohio State's coaches were in attendance as well as several former players who were there on behalf of the organizations they now work for.

+ Meyer said the idea of the annual Job Fair has exceeded the vision that he had. He said the idea all started when his daughter was recruited, and there was no talk about getting a job after acquiring her college degree.
+ For next year’s Job Fair, Meyer said he had some “cool plans” to take it to the next level.
+ A reporter joked about putting up a starting quarterback booth at the job fair that put up a few laughs.

Technically not a "Real Life Wednesday" thing....
Why Ohio State football and basketball players were tweeting '#SetTheExpectation'
Anyone following Ohio State football and basketball players on social media may have seen them tweeting out the hashtag "#SetTheExpectation" on Tuesday.
That phrase is the main message of Brenda Tracy, a rape survivor, activist and speaker who met with OSU football, men's basketball and women's basketball teams in Columbus on Tuesday.
Tracy created the "Set the Expectation" pledge, which is directed at high school and college athletes. Her goal is to make sure athletes know and promise that sexual assault, domestic abuse and other actions of that nature are not acceptable.
You can read more about Tracy's story here, from an article by The Oregonian's John Canzano in 2014, or in the video below:
