Today I had the opportunity to sit in on several meetings with a variety of different topics being discussed. The first meeting was with the strength and conditioning coach. He was having trouble with the scheduling for access to the gym. He did not have enough time to finish his team specific workouts before one of the fitness classes needed access to the gym. Ultimately the classes have priority over any of the teams and they needed to be out of the gym before the class started.
The next meeting I observed had to deal with an alumni event that is taking place in Washington D.C. There is a good amount of Oberlin alumni that live in D.C. and they were planning an event at the Washington Wizards game. I did not realize how many events all around the country that an athletic director would have to attend. My mentor has already been D.C. and New York since I started my mentorship and in the next few weeks he will be going to Arizona and Tennessee.
