Back at it on another Saturday! As the dragons take on Hillsdale, we are still taking on this 50 MPH wind. This game was away but I was still focused on how to be better for the next home game. We ended up losing to hills Dale 24-38. Even though the dragons are struggling, Im proud of them for being better than they have the past 3 to 4 years. It's a process, just like this up coming game and promotion internship. A few years from now this University will be well known.
For each of those schools I called, None of them called back. I was highly disappointed because how could you pass up an opportunity like this? I called to make sure first that they received my messages and they didn't even pick up the phone so I could ask. I think next time I'll start calling two weeks earlier that way we can give them sometime to respond. The week of phone calls are short notices.
Favorite part about this internship- The best part about this internship is simple the opportunity. I can't stress how great of an opportunity it is to have a chance to experience things that you never have before.
What needs Improvement- I think we need to be market ourselves better. We need to get to that point were people are looking forward to these events, we need more pictures taken, more videos so that we can share these experiences with everyone. Favorite part about the internship- My favorite thing about this internship is how we actually do real life things, it's not just school related. We actually sit down and talk business over the phone with local businesses. We need more classes and internships like this. Today was the day I got the chance to put my skills to work. Lauren gave us 6 projects to complete. All six jobs were similar, call six local high schools and let them know that there is a game going up for free of all attendance for the citizens who live in this county. She gave us all the information that was needed. I went home and got right on it. I called 4 high schools in the seneca county and got all voicemails. I left a voicemail for every school,I told them the news, gave them a call back number, told them who we were (Athletic game and promotions Intern). Hopefully I'll get a call back in a couple days before the game kicks off.
I first off just want to thank my group for being there for me, Sometimes when we can't make certain events, we count on others to step up to the plate to help out. We usually don't have a problem covering people. The ferris state was a big wake up call. We lost 21- 56. Merchandise was doing average on the day. The wind was starting to pick up and the sun was starting to pick and choose when he wanted to shine some light on us to help with this freezing wind. We packed our thins up after the 3rd quarter. Dip pointed in the lose today but at the same time I'm excited to finally get a Saturday off next week.
It's Game day and the win today; is not on our side. It;s very windy and its cloudy. Today will be a hard day. Today was a different atmosphere, no one really purchased any merchandise at first. However once halftime got here, then thats when the customers started to buy.I've noticed that at half time that when we get out most customers and that's also when the most people leave the game. I wanted to think of some ways to keep people in their seats all game. But how?
Monday we left off doing things for upcoming events, basically getting ahead so we won't have to rush when it;s time to have it done. It's Thursday and its the weather is starting to get chilly. Tiffin is well known for its windy battle, since we live close to lake erie. Today was just a day to come in and make sure we are prepared for this weekend. Easy Day
