That's A Wrap

     It feels like yesterday that I was starting my first day at AmeriCheer. I cannot believe where the semester has gone. In a matter of 4 months the seasons have changed, designs have been made and I have started and ended my very first job that I have ever had while being a college student. I am happy I chose to work for a cheerleading business for one of my internships. Not only did I do it because I enjoy cheerleading but also because I knew I would be some fantastic and cheerful people along the way.
     Throughout the semester I have learned so much through the marketing and business aspects at AmeriCheer. I have learned that not everyone works the same and likes the same things you may like. There will be times when work can be hard because of other people's opinions, but it's just something that everyone must work together for in order to succeed. Co-workers must work together and communicate clearly to reach their goals. I have also learned about various websites that has helped AmeriCheer that I can possible use in the future. One of those is Constant Contact. When I first learned about this website I didn't quite understand it but now that I am familiar with it I think its a great site for businesses to keep organized and it's easy to work with.
     As the end of the semester drew near I learned that it takes more than just emails for any business to be successful. While working for AmeriCheer I learned and saw all of the various aspects that makes a business work. I saw (and worked) mainly in the marketing part of it but I also saw the other aspects run, for instance the camp coordination, the design, the logistic, the first desk as well as the presidents view on things. Every single area is very important because that is what makes the business run. After looking at these aspects through AmeriCheer I can do put this into realization with any other business.
     It takes a lot to make a business run and I have now experienced this first hand with working at AmeriCheer. I have learned a lot and met such nice, wonderful co-workers that I know I can look to in the future if I need them. I look forward to using these experiences that I have learned in the future and will not forget my time at AmeriCheer.

20th Anniversary

   School is about out and summer is right around the corner. It's about that time to start thinking about what cheerleading camp middle schools, high schools, as well as college teams want to attend this summer. If you haven't found one yet for your team to go to, check out AmeriCheer's. This year they are offering 18 different summer camps for cheerleaders (not counting the home camps if your team is interested in that.)

   So with camps right around the corner it was time to update the website so athletes and coaches could find more information about the camps. Last week I updated the AmeriCheer website, so this week I worked on the AmeriDance website. I updated all of the pages under the Camps tab and made them look similar to the AmeriCheer website. Add some new information, editing old information and got it ready for the viewers.  

   On Thursday I worked on creating an excel document that will consist of all the teams that ever competed at the AmeriCheer & AmeriDance InterNationals within the past 20 years. This document will help the staff next year (when it will be their 20th anniversary for the event) to invite all the coaches and teams to come back and celebrate. I am putting in the document the teams name, the year they competed, the division they competed in, as well as their current contact information now. As of right now I only have a few years done and I already have a long list! I am looking forward to seeing how many teams total competed there in the past 20 years.
