Attended the Annual Golf Fundraiser for the Erie Admirals. Met with several potential sponsors of the club. I was partnered with Rick Martin, a local car dealer. It was my job to ensure that we were able to use his vans for transport for the team, free of price, and our pitch was that we would advertise his business in the match day program and during announcements mid game. After a round of golf with the other sponsors we sat down at dinner to discuss the details of possible sponsorships. I was delighted to hear that Rick Martin agreed to lend us 4 vans for every away trip free of charge. He also said that bumper stickers of EASC would be handed out with every sale, further promoting the club. This was a massive coup for the club as we required to transport 18 players every weekend around the Great Lakes region and this was the most cost-effective method.

Travelled to Berkeley, MI with assistant coach Neill Brown to prepare a scouting report for FC Sparta and Detroit City FC. We were going to play them next week so we thought it would be a good idea to watch the two play each other to compile some notes on the two teams. I had to focus on FC Sparta and highlighted any threats I saw in their attacking players.
