SportHQ INTERNSHIP JOURNAL/BLOG

I am proud to say that my main contribution to my internship was to expose the company to a wider range of people and help SportHQ really take a bigger step in marketing, promoting business.  Also, as a coach in the performance training area of SportHQ,  working with athletes helped them take bigger steps in improving their athletic ability and reaching their goals.  I enjoyed helping them and making them better, because I feel as if I had an impact on where they stand now.
