Mentor Blog 6 (3hrs), Total=18hrs

Today I met with my mentor at the tennis courts. I helped him conduct practice as usual. I prepared the tennis equipment that is used for the drills. I worked with some of the boys on the team in performing certain drills. I answered any questions that some of the boys were concerned with about how to do a particular drill. Lastly, I played "mini tennis games" with them. When I lost, I ran suicides with the boys.

I feel pretty content with what I am doing with my mentor. Being a sports manager can either be easy or difficult. The fact that I am the manager of a high school team makes my job easier. Yet, I know if I do become a manager of a major sports team in the future, the job will be complicated and stressful. I am not sure if I can handle the pressure. When I finished writing my teacher draft about the Golden State Warriors management, I learned that its extremely tough to be a manager in the big leagues. You have to be prepared for the toughest situations and knowledgeable enough to make good decisions concerning the team's assets. As for now I feel like being a sports manager for a high school team is a really fun and relaxing job.

I am probably going to meet with my mentor next week. I will mostly attend one of the boys' tennis matches since the season has already begun.
