Personal Narrative: A Career As A Football Coach

Decent Essays
I began working with kids with Elite soccer in the North side of Chicago. The job was temporary and I was in charge of running practice for youth teams.

    Hope everything is going well with you and you’re having a great summer! I am not sure if you remember me, but we spoke a few months back about the Vikings summer internship that you had available (I am sending this e-mail as a reply to that conversation).

I know this is very far ahead of schedule given this summer is not over yet, but I wanted to be in touch as soon as possible…
