Student Equipment Manager
Eastern Michigan University
08.2021 - 03.2023
- Arrived in August 2021, tasked with set up and take down of practice. Practice duties included: Acting as a defensive player during quarterback read drills, and being available to float, helping where an extra pair of hands was needed. As well as working with fellow managers to run the chains and down and distance markers during 7 on 7, team drills, and 2-minute situation drills.
- During my two seasons with Eastern Michigan, I worked with the Quarterbacks and handled all responsibilities given to me by the quarterbacks coach. Duties included setting up drills and clearing them as well as snapping the football and standing in during drills where needed.
- Outside of practice, I assisted with the process of laundering and redistributing all coach and player laundry. As well as with player equipment maintenance, packing equipment and trunks, and helping to load the truck before the team departed for road games.
- In addition to the above tasks I led the process of breaking in all footballs, working with the quarterbacks directly to ensure that they are comfortable with the footballs we provide and use at practice and on game day.
- Game day responsibilities were to ensure all game balls were prepped and followed the rules outlined by the NCAA. In addition, I served as a ball runner, ensuring a smooth process of bringing footballs into play as well as retrieving any that end up out of play. Furthermore, I assisted with holding the sail, to ensure other teams could not see our signs from the press box.
