Mentor Blog 1 (2hrs), Total=2hrs

On Tuesday, I met with my mentor at the tennis courts at school. My mentor and I conducted the boys' tennis conditioning in preparation for the boys' tennis season this year. He gave me instructions as to where to place tennis equipment on the court and guided my understanding of how to run certain tennis drills. In addition, we had an important discussion of what he expects for this upcoming season, such as rankings, future prospects to look out for, and other schools' progression.

The first two hours I have spent with my mentor has given me a perspective of what I am going to be dealing with. Initially, I didn't know what to expect coming to the boys' tennis conditioning. My mentor was quick to explain his procedures when coaching his team. It seemed very complicated, yet simple at the same time. I know once I keep working with my mentor I can get a hang of managing the team. This was just my first day.
