8.  I thoroughly enjoyed this experience, and learned a lot from it.
Utilizing what I learned throughout the courses here at JWU really
helped me succeed in this internship. I learn how to run
tournaments on my own, make schedules, add rosters
online, order gear through Mizuno, manage a facility and dealing
with customers. I have improved on my professional skills such as
communication, collaboration, customer service, time
management and organizational skills. I was able to run a
tournament on my own, and it felt great to be able to know what I
was doing, and do it well. Blue Fish Bowl is a great league, and
Blast Volleyball is growing to become one of the best volleyball
clubs. I enjoyed this time with the owners as well as the
coaches, players and staff.
