Summer/Fall 2015
1. During your internship you will experience many different emotions. You
will be expected to work as a professional, but at times you may not feel
that way. Please comment on your first impressions of your internship.
What are your concerns, your excitements, and your questions? What do
you think will be the most important and challenging aspects of your
internship?
I think that being passionate and being eager were two very
important characteristics for me. I had to show both at multiple
times when I was asked to look up something about the team for
the broadcast during a show. It needed to be quick because they
were currenltly talking about the statistic and it showed that I
really wanted to find out the fact and that I was fast to do it, and
I think that showed a lot from me.
3. Identify two or three major stresses that you have experienced since you
began your internship. Describe some of the methods that you have used
to cope with the stress. (Look over the job stress inventory in the course
assignments folder under lessons.)
The first stressful thing I endured was my first trip to the tape
cage to find replays for the game broadcast, and I was told to get
a certain tape, but I wasnt sure the right one to get , normally it
wouldnt be a big deal but this was a rush during a game, I
panicked and just chose one, and luckily it was the right one. The
second time was when I had to work the camera crew when we
were short and had to work the light. This interview was being
broadcasted on live tv so I really had to margain for error, when it
was all said and done I was told I did a great job, but it was very
stressful.
Having this internship and also being a student athlete was not
an easy task at all. I took 18 credits this semester, the most ive
taken here. It has not been easy but the most important thing to
do is to manage your time. Everyday I look over what I have to
do and if I have to go into work or not and basically I base my
schedule on what I have to do for that day, and it hasnt been a
problem so far.
5. Pick two or three words that describe how you are feeling about yourself
as an exercise science professional. Describe an experience or situation
that you think may have led you to feel this way. (Check out the Sport
Management competencies in the course assignment folder under
lessons.)
7. Describe a time in your internships when you felt that your values were
threatened. How did this make you feel? What did you do?
Lucky for me I didnt really feel that way at any time. I was
treated with nothing but respect at CSN. Im glad that I didnt
have a point like that, but I worked with a lot of professionals
and thats how they treated me every day.
The one time I had faced conflict was when my supervisor was
dealing with a new coordinator and they were having an issue
with the timing of the tv to commercial break, the new supervisor
had messed up the sequence a couple times, and my supervisor
had gotten angry and raised his voice at her, Shortly after that
he apologized and was able to resolve the issue. I would have
handled without yelling, but that is easier said than done.
Everyone gets angry sometimes and it is normal to lash out
sometimes.
11. Reflect on your time in the internship so far. What have you
learned? What seemed intimidating or unknown in the beginning, but now
is an everyday activity? How have you grown as a professional? Did the
negative or disappointing experience (from Question #6) change your
perspective on your internship? In what ways? Did any positive changes
occur (for you or one of your co-workers) from this negative or
disappointing experience? Explain.
