I think that my fourth day was by far the most interesting. I was able to do a couple new things at the arena. One thing that I learned how to do is run the pro-shop. While running the pro-shop I was also taught how to sharpen ice skates. Sharpening skates is definitely a skill that has to be acquired, you have to have good eyes and steady hands.
On my third day it was a lot like day number 2, I answered some phone calls well my supervisor was away from his desk. I also learned how to file all of the paperwork in the office, it was mostly paperwork having to do with finances.
My second day was a little less exciting, as all i did was just cover the office and answer phone calls and questions while my supervisor was out.
My first official day of my internship came at a great time. There wasn't anyone scheduled between 3pm and 5pm to run the fitness center so before the employee that was supposed to leave at 3pm left, I shadowed her and learned what to do and how to run the computer for new members and existing members. At 3pm I was left to run the fitness center until the next employee arrived.
Before I officially started my internship at Spartan Arena my supervisor Steve wolf invited me down to see how an actual event was run here. while I didn't do much (I did control the lights for the national anthem) I was able to see what went into an actual event as far as preparation and afterwards.
