Five ’s out of 5 I gave the Houston Dynamo a 5 out of 5 because it was the perfect internship for me. Going into this internship, I had no prior professional sports experience. The Dynamo took a chance on me, and from the first day let me take control of projects. I was given the opportunity to market, plan, and execute events. This was also the perfect internship because I got to help out with various departments. I helped out with Sponsorship, Graphic Design, Ticket Sales, and Client Services. This was a blessing because I got a well-rounded view of the industry. I also got the experiences to be on TV and on the Radio during this internship.Finally, this was a fantastic internship because of the culture of the Houston Dynamo. They treated me like I was more than just an intern and were always there to help or teach me new things.
