The next project that I did was look up hotels for the away meets. The one thing that Coach wanted was to have a hotel at a reasonable price within six miles from where the meet is held. The only away meets are at Calvin College in Grand Valley, MI and the GLIAC meet in Geneva, OH. It was really difficult for me to find a hotel that was so close to the pools. I probably looked at five to six hotels each place but I they would br too far away. When I would find a hotel that seemed good I would tell Coach about it and either she would have me e-mail the information I have to her or I would make a call to the hotel to see what rooms were available. Especially because the team is a larger group sometimes the hotel did not have the number of rooms we needed available and then my search would continue. I think I looked up hotels for roughly three weeks, but eventually I found some good hotels that had an exercise room, free breakfast, wifi, and were within five miles of the pools. I sent all of the information I received to Coach and a few weeks later she called me in to talk about the hotels. When I went into the meeting I was not sure what she wanted from me because I had sent her all of the information that I had, but she was upset and told me that I came unprepared. She looked at the information I gave her and then I gave Steve the contact information that I received from my research. Steve reserved the hotels with Coach’s card and I hope they used my research because Coach had Steve look up the same as well as different hotels after our meeting.
