Blog 7 (6/8)

 In the past two days, I have had a lot of opportunities that I've been unique and I've really enjoyed. On Monday morning, there was a whole staff meeting where was able to introduce myself to those of the staff that I didn't get to know which was definitely helpful as I was able to talk to them in a professional setting I also was able to listen into what they were talking relating to the camps that they'll be running over the summer and other things of that sort which is definitely good to hear about how they're going to organize things they also had some exciting news relating to their basketball team where they actually signed two very high-level players from Italy to come play here next year. The bulk of what I've been working on over the past few days has mainly been working on a 7v7 football tournament that SPIRE will be doing for hopefully next year. SPIRE has never been very heavily involved in football, but they're looking to actually grow in that department and why the way they want to do it in a field that is growing in interest. 7v7 football is very popular particularly in the south of the US and there's not a lot of exposure to it here in the north so they're trying to start that off at SPIRE. Tournaments are typically very profitable but they don't know a lot about it, so I've been doing a lot of research in that field looking at prices are getting in contact with organizations that help organize these tournaments. Also, different social media platforms that have heavy influence in this field that could be helpful to partner with or to talk to you when trying to organize these events I also had to look up things such as equipment, referees, and even the rules because they don't really understand how the games work.I'm putting together a PowerPoint that will actually be used to  present to the sum of the higher ups at SPIRE that they will use to maybe make a determination on whether or not they will host the 7v7 tournament or start some sort of 7v7 operation here at SPIRE.
