Well it has been a exciting and successful summer. I have no regrets about coming down here and hopefully it is not the last time. There are a couple main things that I have learned. This internship was in it's basic roots, a glorified water boy position. I feel confident in saying that I can fill any size cooler and keep it filled under extreme heat. The second thing is that I can see myself living down here. The summer is not that bad but the main difference is that you don't get a break from the heat down here. The third thing is that I think that I can be successful in a career in sports and I love this job. I enjoyed team operations more then the youth camps. I also learned that working at a young age helped me to gain the ability to work my ass off. Well I still have some work responsibilities next week but for the most part I am done and until I leave on the 31 I plan on getting my fill of the beach. I will keep updating. Go Fins and Bucks!

This past Saturday we had our first game. It went well and it was an awesome experience. I will post some pictures. I did a lot of set up and filling coolers, which is something that has been a big part of my summer. I got to stand in the tunnel during the game to watch and that is a great way to watch the game. This is the last scheduled week of the internship and it seems like just yesterday that I left Ohio but I guess that means that I was working.

I got my first day off today in two weeks and sleeping in felt amazing. I went and hung out on the beach for a couple hours and it was nice out for sure. Tomorrow night is the Dolphins first pre-season game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I doubt it will be on back home but you never know. We are getting close to coming home from the internship here in a couple weeks. I will get some pictures from the game in order to post.

It has been a busy couple days. Sunday I went into work to finish credentials for everyone for the entire season, so there was a lot to do. I did learn that the Dolphins have "ambassadors" which are essentially pretty women in dresses that socialize with the big whigs. Today it was hard to wake up but practice went well and then we were supposed to have practice in the stadium tonight but it was cancelled due to the weather. Last week I had some trouble while driving to work on the freeway. I had my tire go flat while in the fast lane. Luckily I was able to get over and change the tire right there but that was an annoying way to start the day. Well everything else is going well. Time to relax a little bit. Go Fins!!!

Well I was scheduled to have a day off today but I volunteered to go into work and help get stuff done. They way that I think about is that I will have plenty of time to relax here when this internship is over but I can't guarantee that I will be in this kind of position to make a good impression again. As far as training camp there has not been anything to interesting. There are no players that are refusing to take their conditioning test. There was a player that tore their Achilles during practice which means that he is out for at least a year. He was then released the next day. The NFL is a ruthless business. Monday night's practice is in the stadium and then next Saturday is the first pre-season game against Tampa Bay. I am looking forward to that as well as my day off Sunday, or at least at this point I think I have a day off. That's it for now. GO FINS!!!

We are getting into the heart of camp and things are getting fun. The camp practices themselves are not that bad but the youth camps are getting annoying. It is all part of the grind. I have Sunday off but other then that everyday it is back to practice. I feel like I don't have much to talk about so if you have questions just let me know. In other news I talked to the sports agent today that they consulted and modeled after when they made Jerry Maguire.

Well it has been a busy start to camp to say the least. The heat has not made things any easier. During the week we have a youth junior training camp during the day, which makes things rather busy. We eat lunch on the run and do the camp and then head back for our second Dolphin's practice of the day. I have also noticed that while NASCAR fans are hick there are some NFL fans that are not far behind. It is amazing how some people are constantly at practice. I have been to a lot of football practices and believe me they are not that exciting. During the time I have had to watch the team there have been some good players that are going to make some noise this season. I just cant say who in case any of my friends who play fantasy football are going to read this. In other news it is Shark Week so I leave you with some advice, "Live every week of your life like it's Shark Week." GO FINS AND GO BUCKS!! Also one last note, this past Sunday was the last Sunday without football until February 13th, 2011.
