By: Colin Baines - Graduate Assitant LT 26
Long Beach, CA – Members of LT 26 recently pre-
sented a variety of innovative and creative in-
ventions as part of their Foundations in Sport
Management Class. The event was held in the East
Gym at CSULB and marked the conclusion of their
first class on the Graduate Program in Sports Man-
agement.
The event was based on the works of Rube Gold-
berg, the famous cartoonist and engineer who de-
vised complicated gadgets that perform simple tasks
in indirect and convoluted ways. LT 26’s brief was
‘simple’ – develop a sport related product using at
least seven transfers and at least four different forms
of energy from heat, chemical, electrical, kinetic,
magnetic or mechanical. Their device also had to
include a variety of equipment including fish hooks,
ping pong balls, balloons and mouse traps.
Each team had five minutes to ‘pitch’ their in-
vention and provide an overview of their product
and company and were then given three attempts to
demonstrate their device to a captive audience and
the program’s version of the Shark Tank’s with Steve
Buchan.
On display at the Rube Extravaganza were projects
that dispensed sweets and other half-time snacks, a
range of college plinko games and a machine for
setting up your golf ball on the tee.
Teams represented from LT 26 included Plinko Pop,
Ain’t No Chip in Mah Dip, ITOS Machine, Sink N’
Drink, Mix-It-U-Master, Beastmode and Tee-On!
The presentations followed many weeks of de-
signing and testing their inventions, defining their
target market and how they would ultimately mar-
ket their new products to their customers.
Following the successful product launches, mem-
bers of LT 26 enjoyed pizza and a golf lesson from
Joey Cerulle, Head Women’s Golf Coach at Long
Beach State. He taught them the importance of golf
in the corporate sports world and just how much
business is often conducted on the golf course. It
was a great way for LT 26 to end their first class
with GPSM!

GPSM Alum, Atif Moon (LT 18) was recently featured in the Pakistan Link,
the largest Pakistani newspaper based here in the United States, as he
trains to compete in tennis at the 2016 Paralympics Games in Brazil. Atif
was born with Neuroblastoma, a tumor on the spinal cord, that lead to
three surgeries before he was a month old. The condition led to scolio-
sis as well as being paralyzed from the
waist down. Atif has persevered though
and as a GPSM student he was awarded
the 4.0 Award for maintaining an “A”
average throughout the entire
program. He was also awarded the pres-
tigious Bill Shummard Beach Pride award
when he graduated from the program in
2009. To read the Pakistani Link article on

Fresh off a successful career as an infielder on the Penn State softball team,
where she was a 2011 and 2012 Academic All-Big 10 selection, Lauren Yao
became a member of LT 26. Shortly after starting the program this last
February, she was informed that she had been selected as a recipient of the
NCAA Ethnic Minority Scholarship. The scholarship is
given to only 13 female college graduates entering their
first year of postgraduate studies. As part of being a
recipient of the scholarship she has been given an all
expenses paid trip to attend the 2014 NCAA Career in
Sports Forum at the NCAA National Offices in
Indianapolis, IN from June 5-8. The forum is a four day
educational event which brings together two hundred
selected student-athletes to learn about careers in
sports, with a primary focus on intercollegiate athletics.
Congratulations Lauren! - By Brandon Urry, GA LT 24
Stefan Ludecke (LT 14) had the trip of a lifetime recently when he had the
opportunity to visit the White House in Washington, D.C. as an assistant coach
with the 2012-13 national championship men’s water polo team from the
University of Southern California. Seventeen other Division–1 national
championship teams were also honored that same day at the White House by
President Barak Obama. The teams had an hour and a half to explore the White
House before the President greeted every member of the squad and then
addressed all 17 teams on the South Lawn. Ludeke, who has been an assistant
coach with the USC program for the past three years, has helped play a role in
the last two national championships the men’s water polo teams have won. The
team has currently won the
past six NCAA men’s water
polo championships. While in
D.C., Ludecke was also able
to visit the Pentagon and
Arlington National Cemetery
where the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier lies.
