Thank You Note

This internship was one of the best experiences I had on the way to my career goals. My long-term goal is to one day become a track and field coach and have a positive impact on student-athletes. One of the aspects of the internship that contributed to my personal growth was my communication skills. I've always struggled with communication, and I had to do it a lot during my internship. My communication skills have improved significantly by making phone calls, sending emails, and communicating with other trainers. Some of the experiences I had during my internship were related to my academic studies. In my course, I learned about sponsorship, fundraising, business management, and more. I was able to incorporate what I learned about these aspects into my internship. The quality of support and communication with my supervisor was excellent. I was able to communicate with Giorgio every day and talk about what I was learning, what I was going to do, and how I was enjoying my internship. Everyone was willing to help me if I needed help or was confused about what I was doing. Mentoring has influenced my career goals in several ways. You should continue to gain as much experience as possible throughout your career through internships, volunteer work, and entry-level sports jobs. There are many options available. Now you have a support system if you need help finding your options. If anyone is still looking for an internship, I highly recommend contacting Atletica Strambino (although it's a bit far...). The experience will be worth it and the experience in a new country will be interesting. Get to know another culture. The advice I would give someone about a coaching job is that every day is different, the hours are incredibly long, and you get to meet amazing people with the same interests as you.
