Carefully read this spreadsheet. Look at this column (Sport(s) you will be playing at NMU). For everyone who said Football, that is the information I will need. Here is how I need the information.
Name Before NMU (in bold)
- If they are a transfer in column (If you are a transfer, where are you transferring from?) list it here. If not, don't put anything.
- List out their previous accomplishments here from column (Individual and team accomplishments/awards before NMU (high school/previous college). Make sure to be detailed about the sport(s) you will be playing at NMU). If they didn't put much, you can also pull from (Sport(s) played in High School). I want each person to have at least a couple bullet points. For each accomplishment, use separate bullet points unless that accomplishment/award makes sense to keep under one
Personal (in bold) * Son of (go to column Parent's/Guardian's Names) * From (go to column Hometown (i.e. Marquette, Michigan) * Enjoys (go to column Hobbies / things you like to do away from your sport) * If they have had any relatives play collegiate sports in column (Have you had any family members play collegiate or professional sports? If so, list out who, what sport they played, position, and where), list that here. An example: Father Chris played football at Central Michigan
Now here is a fully formatted example: Before NMU * Transfer from Macomb Community College, where she was an All-American * Ran varsity Cross Country and Track all four years at Madison West * Individual City champion her junior and senior years * Helped Madison West qualify for states her last three years * Team captain as a senior
Personal * Daughter of Carissa and Jesse Mangerson * From Madison, Wisconsin * Enjoys hiking, swimming, and being outside
Let me know if you're able and if you have any questions before we proceed. You can give me the first name to make sure everything is right before we do them all
Thinking about extracting and formatting football player information from a spreadsheet
I'll start by reading the spreadsheet. Let me consult the file-reading guidance and then open it.
Parsed spreadsheet structure to extract football player data systematically
Now let me read the spreadsheet to understand its structure.
Parsed spreadsheet data to isolate football players' information
Let me pull all the data, filtering for Football players.
Orchestrated sample profile extraction and consolidated athlete data systematically
40 football players. Let me pull the full detail for the first player so you can verify the format before I do all 40.
Deciphered formatting requirements and flagged hometown specification ambiguity
I've read the spreadsheet. There are 40 football players in the "Sport(s) you will be playing at NMU" column. I can pull all the fields you listed and format each one exactly like your example.
Here's the first one (Brady Audette) so you can check the format before I run the rest:
Brady Audette
Before NMU
- Placed 4th individually at the Division 1 Alpine Skiing State Championship
- Also played baseball and football in high school
Personal
- Son of Dan and Carrie Audette
- From Marquette, Michigan
- Enjoys hunting, fishing, and hanging out with friends
- Father Dan played quarterback at Northern Michigan
A few notes and questions before I do all 40:
- Football detail. Brady didn't list any football-specific accomplishments (his only award was for alpine skiing), so per your instructions I pulled from his high school sports to round out the bullets. A number of players will be like this. When someone gives me good football material I'll lead with that; when they don't, I'll fill from their other sports so everyone has at least a couple bullets.
- Hometown/state. Many players entered just a city ("Marquette") rather than "City, State." I added "Michigan" here since it's unambiguous. Do you want me to append the state everywhere I can reasonably infer it, or leave hometowns exactly as entered?
- Family names. Brady's family entry said his dad played QB at NMU but didn't name him — so I pulled "Dan" from the parents column to write "Father Dan played quarterback at Northern Michigan." Good to keep doing that cross-reference, or would you rather I only use names that appear in the family field itself?
- Transfers. For non-transfers I'm simply omitting the transfer bullet (no empty placeholder), as in your example.
One more thing to decide: how would you like the final deliverable — all 40 written out here in chat, or dropped into a Word document you can download? Once you confirm the format and the questions above, I'll knock out all 40.
Good. Feel free to vary the language in the before NMU section, but just keep it concise overall. I am good for the rest of them. Take your time and make sure everything you are giving me is accurate. You can give them to me on here if that works
Assembled comprehensive player data for accuracy verification
Let me pull the complete data for all 40 football players so I can write each one accurately.
Systematized 40 athlete profiles with varied accomplishments and verified details
