Mentor Blog 4 (6hrs), Total=12hrs

I went to the boys' tennis practice on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Since the boys are competing for positions on varsity, I am helping my mentor record the scores on a tournament bracket. I play tennis games with the team at the end of practice as well.

Recording scores is a very easy task. I usually watch the boys play while I am waiting to get their scores. So far, I feel like I can accomplish anything my mentor asks of me. I don't really have to coach, but I must know the game of the sport if I am going to manage the team. I am still building relationships with the team by trying to get to know each player. I think it is important to have a strong relationship with each player because I can discover their main goals and needs they want to accomplish this season. That is how I think a sports manager should do while on the daily basis.

I am planning to meet with my mentor next week.
