Responsibilities

At the internship I was tasked with training teams and individuals in strength as well as speed and agility training. Along with that I helped put on tournaments for different sports.

Accomplishments

My greatest accomplishment during my experience was seeing the kids testing numbers improve after putting them through my workouts for a couple of months.

Learning experience

One of the main lessons that I learned was that you have to walk the line of them liking you, and respecting you.

What advice would you give?

One piece of advice that I have is have everything planned out ahead of time. That way you have less to stress about in the future.
