Entry #1

SportHQ of Cary has a mission to improve every athlete that walks into the building, in a structured yet relaxed environment, through Futsal leagues, performance training, and camps. The business caters to all athletes, whether they are a professional at the peak of their career, a youth first testing sports or a focused teen preparing for a collegiate athletic career.   By providing excellent, high level coaching SportHQ can accelerate any individual’s development as long as the athlete wants to improve.  SportHQ takes pride in developing athletes; especially youth athletes who want to improve.  This company is dedicated to helping athletes reach their full athletic potential.

As an intern at SportHQ, I had a variety of jobs.  Often, I would create targeted advertisements and flyers to promote business for specific groups of people and took pictures to upload to the website and social media such as Instagram.  I updated the company website with up to date details and a more professional layout that made more sense than previously.  As a coach in the performance training area of SportHQ, I worked with athletes to maximize their athletic potential in a small group setting, specifically working on speed, agility, strength training, flexibility and injury prevention. Throughout this Internship one of my jobs was to keep track on athlete’s improvement.  We gave them a baseline assessment at the beginning of their training and retested every 6 weeks to measure improvement, such as testing vertical and broad jump, and accurate times of sprinting a given number of yards.
