We are going to be looking into what it is like to be a manager for the football team by interviewing Mason McIntyre. Being a manager is a cool way to be a part of a team. You get to do something you love with sports and still be around it without playing. Most people love sports so why wouldn’t you want to participate as a manager. This article can be for anyone with interest in being a manager. Say you're a freshman and are interested in being a manager. This article is for you.

     When we ask Mason what a manager's job is, he tells us that on the daily managers fill the water buckets for practice or on gamedays, take practice equipment out to the field and get iPads for practice. On gamedays he says it just depends on where the game is at. If it is an away game the managers do everything early so they fill the water early, get the equipment they need early and put it all in the trailer so it’s loaded up and ready to go. If it is a home game they bring all of their equipment out at 5 o clock, but before they bring it out they make sure everything is ready to go for the game. If you're someone who is thinking about being a manager, here is why Mason became a manager. Mason was on the team freshman year, but he didn’t want to play anymore so therefore he became a manager. Managing has also helped Mason in various ways. Ways management has helped him is his communication skills and leadership skills. He said that his leadership skills have improved by watching and learning from the coaches. Managing has also given him something to do after school also. Being a manager has also given him a notorious nickname “Big Mac” this nickname came from Aiden brooks class of 24’ he didn’t want to call him McIntyre so he called him Big Mac.

     After high school Mason would want to manage in college and stay around the game that he loves. He would also want to become a head coach after he was done managing in college. The last question I asked Mason was what he would say to an upcoming freshman or anyone who would want to manage is “Keep it simple. Don’t over complicate things.”
