History of Nike


Recently I did an informative speech for speech class on the history of Nike.

Here are a few important dates of Nike Inc.

1962: Philip H. Knight founds Blue Ribbon Sports
1964:
Blue Ribbon Sports begins partnership with William Bowerman
1979:
First line of clothing is launched
1980:
Nike goes public
1984:
Nike signs Michael Jordan to endorse its Air shoe--the 'Air Jordan.'
1990:
First NikeTown opens in Oregon
1991:
Revenues reach $3 billion
1996: Company signs golfer Tiger Woods to a 20-year, $40 million endorsement deal

Overall I thought my speech was mediocre. I should of made more eye contact, less body movement, and slowed down at times.
