The main goal for the next couple of days in camp preparation is to get the generic bags for campers stuffed with the appropriate materials. What goes into them at this point is the Student-Athlete helpful hints booklet that I copied last week, a copy of our Top Recruit magazine, a May issue of our Fastpitch Delivery newspaper [this issue is the recruiting issue which is why it is used], a pamphlet about a book we endorse for preparing to play collegiate softball, and finally an ink pen from one of our sponsors.
Being a fairly tedious task I set up an assembly line with 3 tables of bag packing stations. I did not want to take three people away from their regular work for long periods of time so I asked them to work in shifts and do a box of bags and then take a break. I worked on them most of the day but it was my primary mission for the week and knew it needed to be completed.
The Director of Events was actually out of town during this week for the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City so I was keeping in contact with her and updating her on the progress of camp prep. There was a large list of things to get done so I wanted her to be able to be at ease about the things going on at the office. I was handling it and there was no need for her to worry and she could focus on the tasks in Oklahoma City.
By Tuesday afternoon we were done packing the bags, the shirts were done being folded and I had most everything organized for packing on Wednesday. Things are starting to come together now. The things that have been going on do not seem that big but they are time consuming and very important to the operation overall. If we forget things for the camp it is going to screw a lot of things up. I’m definitely taking it seriously and want to do a good job. I strive to always do a good job but I want to demonstrate my ability to lead and complete a task of this magnitude.
