Training

I began my internship on June 20th in Hillsborough, NC. Eurosport brought all the interns into the intern house which is located across the street from the offices. The frist two weeks consisted of nothing but training. Durring the first week we sat in on alot of meetings in different departments such as Marketing, Promotions, HR, Online opreations, purchasing, warehouse operations and etc. Also the first day we met with the co-founders and president and vice president.

One major task of the first week was going to our first event with our rep. My group went to New Jersey and Pennsylvnia durring memorial day weekend. We went to two tournaments and did some promotional work at both.

Much of the second week was taken up by region packing. The regional championchips were a few weeks away and Eurosport and Adidas set up a region store at each tournament. We had to unpack and sort all of the adidas gear for each region tournament. Once everything was sorted and counted we had to repack and get them ready to ship out. Last year it took them 3 weeks to do all 4 redions. This year it took 5 days.

The final task of training was figuring out what regions we would get and whhat events we would be traveling to. My partner and i were lucky enough to get the west coast region for the whole month of June. Basically we will be traveling through California and Arizona going to different events and promoting our partners aswell as the company. The final few days of training were spent packing up our van with all of the promotional gear and giveaways we would need for the entire month. On Friday the 2nd of June my partenr Paul and I began the drive to California.
