Over the past winter (February 2019), I had the opportunity to work with the Ohio State football team as an equipment manager. I helped the other managers set up drills and tear them down. We also did laundry and organize the players’ and coaches’ gear. It may not seem to be the most appealing job to some but i enjoyed every minute that I got to spend volunteering with the team. It made me further realize the importance football has in my life and how much I miss playing it. It taught me the importance of teamwork and communication, both of which are very important in any workplace. Through the volunteering opportunity, I met great people and I was able to see what it is like behind the scenes of a football team. I am leaning towards a career in the sports industry either as a coach or a front office worker, so this was an invaluble experience. I hope to continue with next year and hopefully become a full time manager.
