I formed part of the purchasing team which consisted of buyers and purchasing analysts. I worked on the New Product Integration side of the department (NPI). My role mainly consisted of placing orders, setting parts up on the internal system, price changes and attending essential meetings regarding generator builds. I was in regular contact with suppliers regarding orders, requests for quotes and communicating key information such as build dates, obsolescence and specification requirements. I would assist both buyers and engineers in any day to day queries working alongside them on key projects. During this placement I learnt essential skills within a completely new industry. I completed my 6 sigma green belt training, worked with new databases and communicated with people on a more professional level.

I had to create training plans for the junior players to carry out weekly, demonstrate to them how to carry out different drills and teach them different techniques to improve their skills. This was a challenging task coming up with different routines each week that benefited the players and covered all skills to do with their game. The children were of all different ages so it was a challenge to find skills that they would all be capable of performing together, so at times I had to split them into smaller groups based on their different skill levels. This required me to coach several groups simultaneously. I enjoyed coaching as I saw their skill levels improving each week and this encouraged me to devise new and more challenging drills on an ongoing basis.
