I’m roughly at the halfway point of my mentorship. Coming into this, I had expectations that it would not be that tough. I have all of this experience in sports information and athletics, how bad can it be? Well, I have been pleasantly surprised so far to this point. There is a lot of work to do even just for a class that lasts only 75 minutes. There is a lot of prep time that goes into it that I had not expected. I really didn’t think that going on field trip with the students would be mentally and physically exhausting but they were.
I feel that I’m doing a pretty good job at this point. I find myself putting more time and effort into prep. That has helped to make things go smoother. The students are coming more frequently to ask me for help. The biggest challenge that lies ahead is getting the remainder of my hours in. I have about 92 hours to go and we are coming into the less predictable time of sports. Weather plays a huge factor in our home schedule. Hopefully, things will go well. We shall see.
