My Vision of my life in 10 years:
My Life
Snapshot of My Ideal Life:
Career:
Assistant Athletic Director and Head Baseball Coach.
Income:
Enjoying what I do in my lifetime is my goal. Making enough money so that my family can live comfortably is what I dream to do. In ten years I feel making around $80,000 would be ideal.
Net Worth:
In ten years I hope to have a nice house and to have saved up quite a bit of money over that time. My ideal net worth at this time would be around $700,000.
Home(s):
It would be ideal to own one home at this time in my life.
Geography:
I would like to be located somewhere around my family. Anywhere in the Great Lakes region would be nice but I understand to get my dream job I might have to travel.
Lifestyle:
Living life comfortably.
Health:
I’ll be staying physically active and be in great health.
Family:
Being married and having a child at this point in my life is what I want.
Relationship:
Married.
Education:
Acquiring my MBA by this point in my life seems inevitable. Psychology interest me, so having a Bachelor’s in General Psychology or Sports Psychology could be beneficial for me.

Ideal Entry-Level Job Description:
Philosophy Statement:
Given the growing nature of the sport and recreation industry, my philosophy for what it takes to find a full-time job and succeed in a satisfying career in the field is as follows:
Expand your networks whenever you have the possibility to. Make people remember your name and always work hard.
Six Month Career Goals (After Graduation):
1. Becoming a Graduate Assistant at a near college.
2. Working on my Master’s degree.
Action Plan for achieving one of the goals: Reaching out to my Head Coach here at Tiffin for advice as he has been through much of the same process while becoming a Coach; with the possibility of opening up the door to stay at Tiffin for another year to two years. If that’s not the case then he would help me look for another GA position in the Great Lakes Region.
Three-Five Year Career Goals:
1. Getting my Master’s degree.
2. Becoming a Head Baseball Coach.
Action Plan for achieving one of the goals: First off by becoming a Graduate Assistant I am hoping to have the benefit of free schooling or schooling at a good discount; which that is where I’ll get my Master’s degree. After which I’ll most likely have to become an assistant coach somewhere first, after my GA position, then become a head coach.
Ten Year Career Goals:
1. Assistant Athletic Director.
2. Start my family.
Action Plan for achieving one of the goals: Once receiving my Master’s I’ll have the education to become an Assistant Athletic Director. Getting my foot in the door as the Head Baseball Coach then slowly moving up the totem pole and becoming the Assistant AD is what will most likely happen. All the while I hope to start a family as I’ll be reaching the age of 33 and it’ll be hitting that point in my life.
