Hello my fellow classmates! The nick name that you can refer to me as is Brooks. I will be interning in the track and field office under the operation director, learning the ends and outs of what goes on behind the curtains for a University Track team.
My work will consist of about 10-12 hour weeks where I will be doing a lot of busy work planning for races, booking hotels, and organizing files for the track team. I will be shadowing a guy in the office named “Bob”. Bob will show me his everyday job and what it takes to keep up with the track team.
One thing that I would like to get from this internship is for it to broaden my knowledge of everything that takes place off the track and field. A hurdle that worries me while interning here is messing something up, so being very organized and detailed I think will be very crucial to my success.
Ultimately I one day aspire to be a head track and field coach at a major university. This was one of my main reasons for choosing this intern. As a coach I will not only need to know how to coach my athletes physically but I will have to know the ins and outs of what goes on off the track and field.
Some of the things that I will need to get to that point are getting my foot in the door in the coaching realm. As well as completing internships such as this. Also there are future internships that I look forward to hopefully being able to do with in the running and coaching community.
Hope you all enjoy the read,
Brooks
