My summer internship has come to an end now and I can say I could not have chosen a better place to be an intern at. Over the past few months I have had the opportunity to work with kids that were learning how to play lacrosse and also do some projects for BRIDGE. The main thing that I learned and really impacted me was the purpose of BRIDGE lacrosse and how it can truly impact the lives of some kids as it has done for me. I really enjoyed working the camps with kids who showed great energy towards the sport even though they had no idea what it was, it showed how lacrosse can be more than just a competitive sport. I have taken a great amount of experience and information from this internship. The projects I was doing for BRIDGE made me realize how studying or researching sports medicine and nutrition can be so much fun and now I’m sure of what type of career I want to have. I am glad I chose to spend my summer like this because I got to have fun playing lacrosse with kids and create projects that I can use in the future. I had a lot of fun this summer working with BRIDGE and David, who is a great boss! The opportunity to work with BRIDGE was amazing!
