Week 7
As far as my future goes, I could definitely see myself doing something like what I'm doing now with my internship. Basketball is something I know very well, and something I love. Also, my concentrations of sociology and family studies make my internship a very logical career path. I'm not sure if working specifically for Excel Sports is something I want to do in the future, but if an opportunity arises, I may have to jump on it. As far as my dislikes about my job site...there are not many. The only thing I really dislike is when some kids you are coaching have absolutely NO desire to be there or listen to what you have to say. It is disrespectful to us coaches, but even more disrespectful to their parents who payed money for them to be in the class. In this experience I am learning child management skills, and I'm learning what makes kids tick. Learning how to deal with their many differing personalities is a skill I will need when I become a parent. So, not only is my work helping me in the professional world, but in my personal life as well.

Hi Kellen,
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are enjoying your internship and feel that working with kids and helping to coach their basketball ability is something of interest to you. When you graduate are you going to try to play pro ball or are you thinking about going into teaching and coaching? Or something else?
