Cory Tatz

Athletic Director for HTHV

Q: Do you enjoy what you do for HIgh Tech High? Why?

A: Yes, I do very much. This is what I always wanted to do all my life.

Q: Why did you become the athletic director?

A: Ive always loved athletics since I was young. I think it means a lot to both the students and i also think its healthy for the students to be involved in athletics. In some situations that i have been in I didn't feel like athletics were done properly. and I wanted to develop a program that i thought was not only a program in playing sports but also teaching proper edique and being a good citizen in a good way of a good sport in a way that they went about things and I think we are achieving that here at High Tech High

Q: What makes you so passionate about being a baseball coach?

A: I love baseball more then anything else. its my passion in life. Theres noting id rather do than be on a baseball field. and i felt that way for many many years and ive coached for a lot of years as a result of that. Theres nothing better than being out on a field on a nice sunny day and doing something like this and seeing the success of the boys that play every year and watching them go on possibly to play else where or to remember their baseball or something in high school that they really enjoyed.

The, post the highlights of your mentor interview. This should be three to five questions and their answers.

These questions and answers that i choose because i though that these were important questions when it come to my mentors job. And I also thought that they were good responces to the questions that I asked

Internship 11

This week during internship it was a working week. On tuesday i got an assignment from my backup mentor. Because my mentor was out for the week. The assignment that I got was to put together a 0:30 to 0:45 second pro mo video for the HTM nerf tag tournament. It was a job in its self. I got the tape with all of the video, a camera and I had to do the rest. I had to go around looking for a 4 to 6 pin firewire cable for the camera to upload the footage. I had 40 min of video and 4 pictures that had to b condensed into 0:30 to 0:45 seconds. This task took me around 3 days to complete. I watched all the video to get the best audio and video from the 40 minutes. It takes a lot of patients to be a video editor. For me I like wen every single second of what you see, and hear is as good as I can get it. I put different effects video to make it more interesting and also adding some slow motion and fast motion effects. On friday is wen my mentor Rodney Garica looked over it to see what he wanted to change and wanted to keep. It was not very much to change but made it just a little better. I think that everyone liked the final video that got to see it. I also got the watch and co-host the 1 on 1 tournament for the HTM neft tag.

Internship 8

Choice B: What new appreciations (for who? of what?) have you gained through internship that you did not have before? How did you develop these appreciations?

For me just recently I was involved in help form 12-3 with the after school program at HTM. When I used to look at the after school program i though it was just easy and just babysitting the kids. But it takes more then that. Most of the time the kids done listen and do the opposite of what they are told. I appreciate the adults who run it because it take a lot of time and is frustrating to be with them for 3+ hours for 5 days a week.

2. What forms of collaboration could you use in a project?

Visual aids and communication skills i would be using for my project. I need to communicate to coaches, and the players about different sporting events. And for the website i would need visual aids to show what my point is inside the website and to attract people.

I will use various programs like adobe flash, photoshop, dreamweaver and illustrator.

4. What new things can you learn while working at your site?

5. How can you exhibit, showcase or otherwise share your work?

My work and my skills will really benefit my company and organization in a lot of ways.

I have helped out my mentor on what ever he needed. I have also worked hard the whole time in internship to show that I really want to work and help out the HTH sports program.

What have you actively done to create interesting opportunities for yourself?

Since I am doing a website for my project I go around in dreamweaver and photoshop and mess around with different ideas to see if another good idea appears. I also ask question for what I need to do to help my mentor out.

What have you actively done to advance the interests of your mentor and/or site?

My interests for sports has always been high. For me i would just have to have fun with my website making to make it the best of my ability so it can help out the baseball HTH sports program.

I need to ask fewer questions and just do it. For me I ask a lot of questions which slows down what I am working on. I also need to be more creative to think of ideas to make a website look good.

Internship 1

Internship 1

Dress: The dress for my internship is very laid back when it comes to dress. I have to look professional looking with a collard shirt.

My Workspace: The workspace I am granted with is a small little office. I have a laptop to work on, my mentor sitting right next to me and a lot of papers.

My Work: For my work I started on making the High Tech High Storm Baseball webpage with some rough sketches of how the page would look like.

What struck you, Interesting experience: I think this picture falls under both what struck me and interesting experience. I think so because I have never set of a soccer field and I realized the work that goes into it. The soccer goal that you can see is 3 parts. The parts of the goal plugged in like a puzzle. Me and my mentor had to make sure that the cones were evenly on both sides and make sure that the goal was even with the other goal. It was interesting and stuck me because I play sports and I know what it takes to set up other sports but i did not know what it took for soccer. It also struck me what goes on for just setting up a simple game of middle school soccer.

Is money a problem to fund the various sport programs at the HTH?

How does the HTH sports program play as a role in the economy?

This morning I woke up at around 7:44 am. I hopped in the car around 8am and drove to school. after i dropped of my brother me and my mom got bagels and Jamba Juice. I got to school about 9am and was waiting until 9:30 to start my internship. In the beginning of internship me and my mentor (which is my baseball coach) talked about everything I was going to work on through out my internship. When we finished talking about what I am going to do for him i realized it will be a lot of work but should be rewarding in the end. I will be helping out with some of the HTH and HTM sports programs by setting them up and making a website for them. I think that this internship will be benefiting not just for me but for the sports programs in general.
