I just finished my 3rd week of my internship. 3
weeks ago, I was entirely excited for this internship. I am meeting new people
and increasing my network, but it is funny how getting what you ask for can
change everything. The business side of sports so far is very slow. I have been
doing a lot of grunt work. So far, I have stocked the company fridge with beer,
dropped off backpacks at a printing company, dropped off books at elementary
school, and did some minor Photoshop work.
With all that being said, I also got to take photos for
Toyota. Out of all the monotonous tasks that I have been completing, I now have
the right to say I took photos for a corporate representative of Toyota
Motors. On my resume I will showcase that
I took photos for a very prestigious corporate event with top of the line Toyota
Moto Executives.
While working an internship, you must always realize that
these small tasks eventually end up leading to bigger ones. Do not be upset
when someone asks you to fill his or her cup with coffee, or go check the mail.
Just smile and take it as a learning opportunity to do bigger and more
important things.
The internship is definitely slow right now, but I am
positive things will increase when the season starts. Currently we are also
preparing for the many concerts that will be taking place in December. Beyonce,
Kanye West, Jay-Z, Drake and Justin Timberlake are all listed to perform this holiday season and the
promotional side of things is already starting to intensify.
What I’ve learned so far is that working in the sports
industry definitely has its dull moments and I am fairly positive I will not be
doing this forever, but I am happy to be apart of the Houston Rockets front
office staff.
