YMCA Visit (Nicole Lawson)

I enjoyed visiting the YMCA and being able to learn about the start of the organization and how it helps out the communities in which they are located. I especially liked the fact that they give out scholarships for people who may be going through rough times, it shows that the organization is greatly concerned and involved with the community and not just out to make money. I enjoyed hearing about all the different programs that they have for the youth as well as adults. One thing I found interesting was the hall of fame wall, it showed the accomplishments of members in a different aspect outside of the norm of college and high school type organizations. I especially liked the fact that there is an electronic way to really monitor people's workouts and how they should go about accomplishing their fitness goal, the system does not let the person cut corners or slack off and I found that to be a very helpful tool. I liked the fact that the youth sports are sort of non competative because at a certain age I feel they should just be able to enjoy the sport that they are participating in. I was glad to know about the internship opportunities because having experience with an organization such as the YMCA would to me be a plus for an employer. I was glad to have this experience and learn more about this organization.

Guest Speaker Coach Mitchell Head women's bbal coach and Associate AD

I enjoyed this speaker because I learned a lot about the administrative part of going into the sports field and how important it is to have a strong foundation when dealing with collegiate sports. Things were discussed as far as the academic side as well which I felt was very important to know about. A quote he stated stuck out to me the most and it was "if you want to get into coaching get involved in something" and I agree because it is hard to just jump right into coaching I agree that a person should really be under someone and learn all they can before they simply take that leap. I liked the talk about coaches doing program plans to really map out what it is that they want to do and how they feel they can accomplish it. In all I took a lot of knowledge from this speaker and the things he discussed I feel helped me to get a different view of the sports world.

Guest Speaker ( Peggy Collins Feerehy)

Our the current Director of Career Services and, I really enjoyed the things she talked about. She gave great insight on her experiences with students trying to find employment. Some main points that I recalled were things such as the two types of resume's: chronological which is the highest accepted one at 80%, and a functional resume. She spoke about the importance of being appropriately dressed for a career fair and or job fair. I really found it helpful when she discussed the elevator speech which is something that will catch an employers attention when you discuss your stengths and the things that make you unique and want employers to hire you. I also learned the importance of haveing professional references as well and making sure that the people you use as references. I really enjoyed this speaker because it helped me to really understand the importance of the things she discussed and I plan to really use the information I attained to the best of my abilities when searching for the right job and how to go about getting that job.
