Today, I started my internship at Rox Volleyball in St. Augustine. I went into it having a vague idea of what the environment might be like, which was relaxed but also full of busy and strenuous work. This idea was quickly corrected though once I walked through the door.

I was instantly approached by an upbeat and energetic man who thankfully helped me around the building (after I had gotten lost twice already) and introduced me to my supervisor, Matt. I then proceeded to meet everyone apart of the team and got an official tour around the offices/warehouse. (I also got to experience how they start off their days there, which involves playing hacky sack and talking about their goals for the day). Since I’m only able to go in-office on Fridays, the days are generally pretty relaxed and everyone is already mentally prepared for the weekend.

For my first day, I learned how to color change some of the Rox Volleyball jackets in Photoshop and I also learned other information that I did not quite utilize that day, but I will in the future. I was taught about solvent printing and how to ‘weave’ out a design/logo so it then can be placed onto an article of clothing. The day was exceptionally quiet and it mainly involved me getting settled into the new environment but nonetheless, I did learn an exceptional amount of new knowledge on my first day and I am excited to see what the future holds as well.
