My proposal involves an internship position, of me helping a track coach teach the basic essentials and skills of track and field to a group of kids age ranging from 6-12. We will also be teaching the kids ploys to help with their acceleration and to help with their fast twitch muscles. I will be working 4 hours a week with the exceptions of Sunday that will be our off days. On Fridays and Saturdays, we will have meets at the high school. To see if the kids have progressed and also to see their competitive side. I’ve learned from the years of running track that it's all a mindset if you believe in yourself and love to compete, you will prosper in the sport. There practices will be composed of many different things they will have some distance but nothing over a 500 they will also have some sprint works, and easy days to help with all the lactic acid build up. We will never have them lift weights and if they do any type of lifting it will be body weight.

 This internship opportunity will help me understand the meaning of Leadership, and get my foot in the door to become a real track coach. My main goal is to learn the ends and outs of coaching. How to approach an athlete and to make sure they understand that I’m their coach first and friend second. I want to learn how to find a way to make the workouts fun but also beneficial to them. This hand on experience will help me better myself as a person and also as a coach. It will help me with my patience, and especially working with kids whose attention span isn't probably that long.
