I hope you are having a great time. Since
I joined Football BC as a communications assistant, I have spent one week
surrounded by a great manager, Daniel, and Leo, who was my previous coworker
and finished his internship two Saturday’s ago. If you know him, you must have
heard of his many works that can be found on Football BC’s website and on
YouTube.
First of all, let me say thank you to Leo
and describe how great he was. He was an extremely trustworthy and
indispensable team member. He taught me precisely how to edit videos, something
that I had no experience with before, how to update the high school football newsletter
we publish every week, shoot videos and take photos, and so on. In addition to
that, he showed me how I should work with Canadian people and the Canadian work
environment, which made me feel more comfortable. I must say without him, I
would not have gotten off to a great start and given a great impression on
Daniel. Thank you so much for all of his kindness. I will do my best to catch
up with him and to make you enjoy reading my blog like he did from now.
As you can see, I am having a precious
time here even though I feel like I am struggling to learn challenging tasks
all the time. My most memorable experience so far came last week when I went to
BC Place last Saturday to participate in the “Salute to Amateur Football” event.
In the afternoon, I shot videos for the brilliant people who were inducted into
the British Colombia Football Hall of Fame. After that, I watched the BC Lions
game live to learn the rules, which helped me understand more about Canadian
football. Thanks to the amazing experience, I was able to learn not only basic
rules but also how to root for home team like “crowd noise”. During half-time,
Leo and I went to the field to take photos and shoot videos of kids playing
football. It reminded me of my childhood when I played and enjoyed soccer.
Their performance made me motivated to work hard. At the same time, I felt like
I wish I could be a child.
When I was spending time in the office, I
received a certificate for completing the The National Coaching Certificate
Program “Making Headway in Football” which is
something I learned all football coaches in Canada have to take. You might
realize how much I am learning new things day by day.
Finally, I have started new project named
English and Japanese football dictionary to help Japanese people who do not
know anything about football to learn and become more interested in football
like me. My goal is to convey how wonderful Canadian football is to Japanese
people. I think it is my mission. If you, especially Japanese people, have
anything you want to know about football, feel free to ask me so that I can
help you out.
So this is my adventure so far at
Football BC. I plan to keep taking full advantage of my opportunity, to use my
skills and to enjoy my experience.
I hope you keep enjoying my blog. If you have any
suggestions or advice or even constructive criticism, do not hesitate to leave
a comment. I look forward to hearing from you. See you later.
