Mentor Blog 5 (3hrs), Total=15hrs

I met with my mentor at the tennis courts for the boys' practice after school. Since the weather was hot, my mentor did not have many tasks for me to perform. I helped him run drills with the boys. I placed cones and ladders in specific places on the court. Lastly, I monitored two boys playing against each other to ensure they were not fooling around. These tasks were simple to execute. My mentor wanted to take it easy on me since it was Friday and the sun was blazing on the tennis courts.

I feel like I am performing the same tasks each time I meet with my mentor. This is probably because my mentor wants me to have a consistent routine when I meet with him, which will allow me to perfect those tasks in which he asks me to perform. I think he will start to introduce new objectives for me as the season begins. It will probably reflect the progress of the boys during games and how my mentor and I can improve their mistakes on the court while competing. I believe being a the boys' tennis manager is a simple job. I know if I desire to be a sports manager of a professional team, the job I must perform will be completely different and extremely complicated compared to the job I have now. This project will allow me to have an idea of how the job will be like.

I am not sure when I am going to meet with my mentor again. I can go any day of the week, but my work load takes quite awhile to finish. Therefore, I am probably going to meet with my mentor next Friday if I am lucky.
