Re: Football Operations Assistant Position

Hello John,

I am writing to express my interest in the Football Operations Assistant position you recently posted at the University of Oklahama. Having held the job title of Football Student Manager for 2 years along with 2 years as a student intern for football operations on gameday, I believe my experience and skills have placed me in a prime position to help drive your team to success.

My experience and knowledge in player evaluation, game play, and equipment management learned during my time as Football Team Manager with ETSU Football and my time as a football game day operations intern at UT-Knoxvile will be an invaluable asset in the Football Operations Assistant position. My player evaluation skills involve assessing current players as well as recruiting new ones. My game play knowledge allows me to accurately analyze team trends and player strategies. I also have a firm grasp on equipment management, which includes overseeing inventory and supplies as well as practice aides.

Aside from my skills, I also possess strong team work, motivation, and customer service strengths that I believe are integral to the Football Operations Assistant role. I am able to quickly get a feel for team dynamics and have the flexibility to adapt team roles and strategies as needed. With customer service, I am comfortable liaising between teams, players, parents/guardians, and other stakeholders. My motivation abilities are also impressive, allowing me to take initiative and ensure that team morale is high and goals are met.

I believe that my expert knowledge of football, combined with my strong inter-personal abilities, would make me an ideal fit for the Football Operations Assistant role. I thank you for your time and consideration and look forward to discussing my qualifications and experience in detail.

Sincerely,

Luke Huffaker
