Its now been a couple days since I last filled everyone in on whats going on but I eventually got to it. I blame my late reply on my allergies that have been absolutely killing me at now. I have had no motivation to really do anything on the computer the past couple days but I am back and hopefully felling better.
Since the last update, I have more and more information each and everyday. I have concluded that this company has very poor communication and organizational skills. For each of the tours we had to load all the equipment, tents, products and such but that was quite a task itself considering it took us four days standing on the black top in the hot sun (I have a nice tan going on right now). I could have easily organized and got this done in two days instead of the four or five days. But its all done now!
When I first received the internship I was told I would be assigned a specific section of the US and as each week went by I thought I would know where I would be located at. However, I just found out yesterday that I will be traveling all over the west coast. There were suppose to be 6 guys on our tour however one got moved to a different section and now we are only down to 5 guys. I will be in charge of pretty much everything going on and assisting the tour manager of our region. I will be selling subscriptions to baseball youth magazine, selling the phitan necklaces, hats, shirts, bats. While selling all that I will also be interviewing youth baseball players and their parents and running a little fan fest where the kids can play pick up wiffle ball games. I will also be giving away free beef jerky and bubble gum. (My lunch will consist of jerky). Although I never got assigned to a specific brand like Wilson or Rawlings, I will be doing a wide variety of things and overseeing the whole tour. It would have been nice to sell actually baseball equipment but I am starting to get over it and realize that I can put more on my resume then just selling bats or gloves.
Anyways, I have posted the schedule below so if anyone wants to come visit me on a day off that would be cool. Our group of 5 plan on hitting up as many MLB stadiums as possible and possible concerts. It is going to be one fun filled summer traveling all over. Its kinda like I am studying abroad on the west coast of the US. We will starting our journey for three months tomorrow morning! We will be driving everywhere so feel free to give me a call and take away my boredom on these long trips. Our longest drive is from Omaha, NE to Riverside, CA. (22 Hours)! FML. Yes, I will be attending the college world series:)) Anyways, I have attached a picture of all the dates when and where we work.
Hope everyone has a good day!
