Week 7: July 5-7

This week I have been continuously working with the coaches and the new website to get it up and running before the start of the athletic season.  This is no easy task because when going through Presto Sports it makes for a very long process.  This is a very interesting assignment as I will be working with the website a lot in the upcoming months for all of the sports.  I will be working a lot with the basketball coach because he is not very good with computers and it takes him longer to learn the tasks. 
I have also continued to work with the contracts we will be sending out to opposing schools very shortly.  This is a great way to gain some hands on experience and knowledge when it comes to applying for Athletic Director positions.  There have been other small assignments I have worked on that will help me when it comes to gaining experience.  I have already done some budgeting for the new teams the college is trying to bring in.  I never realized how expensive it was to field a team even if there is not a lot of equipment. 
Hopefully next week we will be focusing a lot more on contracts because that is very beneficial to me and the way contracts are sent out and who is suppose to sign them is something I need to learn.  Also I have learned to keep everything on file for a year because the contracts state who is responsible for getting officials and what officials are being used for those games.  Before this internship I never knew how important contracts really were.  I look forward to digging a bit deeper and getting myself familiar with contracts not only the ones Cayuga sends out but the ones they receive as well.
