Description of the Organization
The organization that I worked with was A1 Sports Training. It is a small independent sports gym. The main focus is to get athletes in top shape for their sport or competition. They also instill personal values for life outside of athletics.
Description of the Tasks/Projects Completed
My job was to assist Andrea Martin with her clients. With this I had to create meal plans, workouts, and clean up after sessions.
Skills/Knowledge Gained Through The Experience
I gained patience. Everyone doesn't move at the same pace. Some athletes only need you to tell them what to do and they have what it takes to get it done. You cannot teach everyone the same way, and so you cannot treat everyone the same way.
Favorite Part of the Experience
The people I've worked with. In this field the people kind of make it or break it. I've been blessed to work with some amazing and energetic people, and that makes waking up a little easier.
How the Experience Influenced Future Career Goals
It has confirmed my decision of picking this career path. I love what I have done over the last 15 weeks and I think it will fit me very well in the future.
