  Sports/Hockey Instructor

  - Coached 6-20 young athletes between the ages of 4-16 through week long summer camps and regular hockey sessions.- Worked in an environment that relied on working well both individually and as part of a diverse team.- At the age of 15 and 16 I was supervising groups of 5-30 kids at a time. This required time management to ensure the kids stayed on schedule. It also meant I was responsible for getting them ready for the on or off ice activities, ensuring they were behaved and following the rules of the camp, resolving any problems that might arise, and ensuring they had a great experience to cultivate return business. - Communicated with both the kids and their parents to provide feedback about the kids performance and behavior as well as to resolve any customer problems or concerns. - I established a proven track record of exceptional customer satisfaction from both the kids and parents.
