Today, Kellan and I met to finalize the distribution chart. We went over the campus chart, added in missing restaurants, dorms, buildings, and administrative offices. The list grew to well over 200 businesses and building to distribute the new posters to. We sent this list off to Theby and helped him to pick-up the posters and move them into the Intern Office. Afterwards, I continued working on the website as we had nothing else planned for the day. Before I left for the day, Theby requested that I join him at the soccer operations meeting on Monday morning at 9 a.m. and I gladly agreed to join.

When I arrived at the office today, I continued my work on the sports distribution chart. Today’s task was to eliminate the remaining businesses that no longer existed and to double-check that the missing businesses had been added. I then searched for each businesses contact information and programmed it into the file to display the company’s address, phones, and sponsorship information. I then assigned the campus distribution chart to Kellan to shorten my workload up.
Today, Theby requested that Kellen, Ed, and I take a trip around Bowling Green to collect the names of restaurants and businesses to distribute sports schedules to. We listed well over 100 area businesses that were missing from the list. When we got back to the office, Theby sent me the original distribution chart and I began updating the chart to correlate with what was missing and what businesses no longer existed. This began the start of my mini-project for the next three days.
Today was an exciting day at the office as Theby asked that I join him at his meeting with the Men’s Soccer Coaching staff. We discussed the marketing plan we created, went over promotional details, and added input on what they wanted to achieve, how to achieve it, and what David needed from his team to achieve these goals. They added that they wanted to have kids announced as ball boys prior to each game and to help promote these promotions to youth teams as well. I wished the staff luck with their season and we headed back to the office to review our notes and make the necessary changes to the document. We finalized the marketing plan and send it back to Coach Nichols for approval. Afterwards, Theby left me in charge of the office as he headed off to yet another meeting. Kellan and I worked on cleaning up the office for the new Assistant Director’s arrival.
Today was a very slow and simple day at the office. Theby had nothing for us to work on so we all talked about sports and the upcoming MLB trade deadline. We discussed the Collective Bargaining Agreement and why it was installed in the first place. I then worked on creating the Organizational Profile page and interviewed Theby about how he got started in sports and what tips he has for aspiring students looking to enter the workforce.
Today, we finished compiling our song list and sent the list to Theby. We had well over 15 hours’ worth of music on the document and five different genres. Theby then sent us over to the Stroh Center to approximate the number of cases of drinks remaining so he knew what to re-order and replace with his remaining trade budget with Coke. Kellan and I loaded up the expired drinks to throw away and headed back to the office to do the same thing for the storage closet.
When we came into the office today, David requested that we all add more songs to the list, mainly focusing on country songs this time as we only had a short list for that genre. After completing this task, I did a final edit on Ed’s Men’s Soccer Marketing Plan and sent it off to Theby to be published. I also added in some additional promotional ideas that Tiffin does to the BGSU Plan and explained to Theby what each event was. He kept several of these ideas and emailed the coach to get his input on them. Finally before we left for the day, Kellan and I packed Bobble-Heads up to be sent to the National Bobble-Head Hall of Fame. Kellan and I took the packages to the store and we headed home for the day.
Today, I asked Kellan to send me his song list as he wasn’t present yesterday when I added Ed’s songs to my list. I complied all three documents into my comprehensive Excel file and send it off the David so he could send it to the Media and Marketing Relations Department for approval. We then cleaned the Intern office out and moved the Falcon Fanatic Shirts back into storage as we no longer had a need to keep them in the office. Theby left for a meeting, but I stayed back at the office to work on some school stuff and compiling documents for the website.
Today, I asked Ed to send me his list of songs as he wasn’t going to be present tomorrow. I highlighted any repetitive songs we had and transferred the remaining songs into the appropriate excel table. We then talked about the progress on his Men’s Soccer Marketing Plan and I helped him finish the document to send to Theby as the coach’s meeting was approaching quickly. Theby called Ed and I into his office and talked to us about applying for jobs and giving us helpful tips on what not to do when applying for a job anywhere. We went through some applicants, and told him what we thought was wrong with each email he had received (wrong university, faulty information, cover letter addressed to the wrong person, etc.). He explained to us that before you send any email to triple check your information, because one little mistake could be the difference between getting an interview or having your resume shredded. He asked that we work on our resumes and LinkedIn accounts the rest of the day so that the same thing wouldn’t happen to us.
Just like yesterday, the three of us continued working on our music project. I elected to create an Excel file to help us sort the songs easier and to record when it would be appropriate to play certain songs. Theby stopped by to check on our progress before heading off to yet another meeting. We took a short break where we ventured outside to check on the progress of the turf installation before continuing on our project. We all called it quits and headed home around 2 p.m.
Today I continued working on the music project from yesterday. Kellan, Ed, and myself decided to split up the work and break into genres. I was assigned Rock and Pop and began working on my task. Theby came into the office a little after noon to ask how the job was going and suggested a few tunes to keep on file. Kellan and Ed left a little after 1, but I stuck around and continue working on finding new songs until I had heard enough.
Today, Kellan and I moved all the SOAR equipment back into the storage closet from the Intern office. Theby had us throw out any damaged and expired drinks and sent us outside to clean out the coolers to try and remove the stench that was coming from the coolers. When we got back to the office from moving everything around, Theby requested that we start working on a music project for the week. He asked us to search to find new music to play at athletic events to replace the outdated files they have been using for the past five years. This became our project for the rest of the week. We got a few weird look with some of the songs we were playing, but hey who doesn’t like listening to a good tune to pass the time at work!
After a long and tedious month, we walked into the student union for the final day of SOAR. We sold six memberships today and connected with another twenty members. All in all, we sold just over 100 memberships and made connections with another 300-plus student during out time at the Bowen-Thompson Student Union. It was a fun experience and helped me grow as a salesman in the process. At the end of the day, we packed up the gear into my truck and moved all the equipment back to the office and put it into the intern office for the weekend.
This morning I headed into the office to enter new names into our excel file for Fanatics members and to figure out where we were missing money from. After discovering that we missed adding a name to the list, I added the missing name to the file and sent it to Theby to solve the missing money trail. At noon, I headed over to the student union for another day selling memberships. We sold only three memberships today and only connected with another ten potential clients. It was fairly obvious that the vast majority of interested students had come to the earlier orientation days so we left around 2 p.m. as no one else was around or approaching the table.
After a much needed holiday break, we headed back to the office for a work day. Theby had all the summer interns meet with him to go over our projects we had worked on this summer and clarified details as to what he was looking for, what he needed changed, and how to create the graphs. David then gave me all the documents he had received from the other interns to peer edit them before he reviewed them. I made suggestions and added some changed to improve the Women’s Soccer Plan, the sports checklists, and the Women’s Basketball plan before sending them to Theby for his review and approval.
