Hi guys!! How was your week? For me it has been a normal week but much more cold! I found a new awesome Dj.
Discovery: Temmy
From U.S.A, this alt-electronic electronic-based act is anything but ordinary, fusing together an interesting blend of genres to create…well… With an original and overwhelmingly unique progression and a soulful talent, it’s only natural to see some stellar remixes come down the pike.
Check this music from soundcloud:
Temmy is your new music discovery!
Dannic is a DJ and producer orignally from the Netherlands who has shot to fame after working closer with international number 1 DJ, Hardwell. He publishes most, if not all of his work on Hardwell’s record label Revealed Recordings, and on 31 March released this track – Dear Life.

Today we’re excited to bring you Anorak, who has been published a new track. We talked about inspired tracks that starts off with a smooth bassline and fluttering synths. As it progresses through untreated and pitched down samples, it gets a little more obscure, bringing in breakbeat spattering of drums, synths and samples.
Anorak is an electronic music Dj who makes songs with sounds that everyone can understand to. I predict huge things happening in this year… mark my words.

This track is ecstatic, fresh and percussive.

From the mix to the production, nothing that lends its hand to this composition is short of impeccable, and for that it could be nothing less than our track of the week.

I went to Lil Boosie’s “Welcome Home” concert in Nashville on last night and MAN he put on a show (like he always have every time I’ve seen him)! So much that it inspired me to do a “Best Of” mix as soon as I got home. Boosie is worth every singe dollar and is a must see! I’ve seen him 5 times over the years and still want to see him perform again. He’s that good and that dedicated to giving his fans everything he has. People outside of the South don’t even understand how big Boosie is down here. Glad he’s back. Enjoy!
And with the tenth week completed, my WSU Sport Management Internship is now finished! It is amazing to me that ten short weeks ago, I was just excited to start on my final semester for WSU. However, what I received and learned from my internship went far beyond the internship and classroom. Throughout ten short weeks here at the Coal Creek Family YMCA, I have introduced a new program concerning families and bicycles; Get in Gear bicycle clinics. These clinics allowed me to influence others through my passion of cycling. Cycling has always allowed me to be who I want, to go where I want. With working in direct correlation with the teen programs, I felt this independence through a bicycle would be a perfect fit for a teenager. Many of them accepted the idea with open arms, and others were excited for a possible future with bicycle programming with the Coal Creek Family YMCA. The teens have also taught me things about myself that I otherwise wouldn’t have learned in any other internship. That is to be yourself and believe in what makes you, you. Although young, I feel everyone can learn something from a teenager. They are filled with great ideas and often just want to express feelings they otherwise are unsure of how to possess. Through this internship, I feel it has made me more of an individual. Capable of speaking what I feel and most importantly, having the confidence in myself to say that dreaded word: no.
Club Tyee was another teen group that taught me something over my ten week internship at Coal Creek. When I first arrived, Club Tyee’s teen participants were just coming to terms with new rules and new leaders of the program. Over ten weeks, the kids went from unruly to well-mannered and understanding of formal structure. By the end of my time with Club Tyee, every Thursday became BINGO day. The kids loved this time to just relax and play BINGO. However, thanks to Jay, the kids also have a new favorite game: Ultimate Football Basketball. Through this game, played on a basketball court with a football, you utilize ultimate Frisbee rules. The kids loved this game and any chance to go outside was always followed with, “can we play that “Basketball Football Frisbee game?!”
Another group I was able to assist with during the duration of my internship was morning swim lessons. Swimming has always been near and dear to me following all four years of swimming in high school. Through teaching swim lessons, I came to realize how amazing it feels to show a four year old the fun of swimming. To have kids come in excited, and to have them walk out excited (and sometimes cold) was always a blast! I love my swim lessons and was happy to be asked to continue my education of swim, through a swim instructor’s position following my internship.
Finally, the group I saw change the most was our After the Bell program. When I first arrived, most of them were shy and unwilling to share about their day or even themselves. Unsettling to me at first, I realized it was teenagers gauging an understanding of their surroundings. Through time and some poking on the staffs’ part, we were able to get into some awesome ice-breaker type stories. The one that sticks out the most is picking one scar on your body and sharing (as long as appropriate) how you received the scar. Through this activity, I realized the group was all dare devils!
All of the kids I have had the opportunity to come in contact with, as well as the staff of the Coal Creek YMCA, I cannot thank you enough for making my last ten weeks of my internship so amazing and rewarding. I stepped in worried and concerned I would be shy and not very outgoing, to now being comfortable with who I am and being able to work with kids of all ages. Thanks to WSU for their requirement of an internship following my course work, I would have otherwise never thought to seek out such an opportunity. Thankfully, the Coal Creek YMCA opened their arms to me and allowed me to be ‘the intern’ for ten short weeks. Now I am proud to say that the title of ‘the intern’ has now been changed to ‘Teen Programs Coordinator’ for the Coal Creek Family YMCA. I hope I have the opportunity to meet all who have followed my journey through this blog, on-site at Coal Creek, as well as from the university. I hope I have made a lasting impression on you all, and I look forward to making the future bigger and brighter from here on out!
With that, I conclude my ten week internship… But one final thing, as Coal Creek Family YMCA has a large attendance of University of Washington Huskies: Go Cougs! 🙂
Sincerely,
Ryan Bibko
Former WSU Sport Management Intern for the Coal Creek YMCA/ Teen Programs Coordinator
Week seven has come and gone, and I am feeling more at home here at the Coal Creek Family YMCA. Swim lessons have been a blast, with kids slowly warming up to the ‘new guy’ helping them swim. I have been enjoying the morning time spent teaching swim lessons and the afternoon split between the After the Bell (ATB) program, and YDC hours. Last week kept me local at the Coal Creek Family YMCA, as I often have been participating with Jay at Club Tyee. However, with a new staff member, Colin, I have been spending the last weeks afternoons from 3:30pm-5pm with the ATB kids finding activities around the YMCA. Although it is sometimes a struggle to nudge them away from the game counsels, once up and moving the kids truly enjoy whatever activity is occurring for the day.
Another big event that occurred for me in my seventh week was the Annual Campaign Celebration dinner, where one of our very own ATB kids gave a speech about what it is like to be 13 and a part of something bigger than herself. As a 23-year-old, it blew me away hearing the speech she prepared for the celebration dinner. It also was impressive to see how much hard work and preparation she put into it prior to the big night! In my last seven weeks here at the Coal Creek Family YMCA, I have watched the organization come together and rally towards a huge goal: raising $295,000 towards their target goal for the annual campaign. Last week, I found out that not only had Teen Programs achieved their $6,000 goal, and thus surpassed it; the entire branch surpassed their goal of $295,000! Even more impressive was the fact it was not just by $10, or even $100, it was over $11,000 over their target! I must admit, it’s pretty cool to watch that number be announced and feel the sense of pride and accomplishment in being part of such a huge accomplishment!
The kids have made these longer weeks (averaging about 45-55 hours a week… Ouch!) a lot of fun for me, and although I end the week exhausted, I am ready for the following week! Week 8 will most likely include more planning towards another edition of Family Bicycle Programs, with this next one involving maintenance and how to work on a bicycle. I am excited to see what these last three weeks of my internship bring to both me, as well as the Coal Creek Family YMCA! Oh yeah, and one final thing: I FINALLY HAVE A NAMETAG!!! 🙂
Until next week,

After the conclusion of my sixth week of my internship, I can honestly say I have made my mark on Coal Creek Family YMCA. On Wednesday, March 5th, I promoted and put on the first of my family bicycle events. It was a kick-off event called “Get In Gear”, and I am proud to admit it was highly successful! Most notably, a family of four showed up and allowed me to aid in fitting both childrens helmets, as well as asking questions about future events for family cycling. Through this event, I had participants answer surveys concerning what they would most like to get out of a cycling program geared towards families and teens. It was fun for me to interact with participants and hear their needs and demands for more bicycle events through the YMCA. It was exciting to be part of such a movement and allow a gateway for families to inquire about future programming.
Although this weeks main focus was my Get In Gear event, I also was part of the successful teen program who met their $6,000 annual campaign goal! To make this even more impressive, I was informed this was the first time ever for this YMCA branch that teen programs had met their goal! To make it even better, through my swim lessons I aid with Monday through Thursday, I was asked to be a representative on a team for aquatics Swim-A-Thon on Sunday. I swam in high school and always loved the sport. Through this event, I was able to not only get a good workout in, but also meet and work side-by-side with other swim instructors and life guards I had yet to meet.
Week 6 was chaotic but an absolute blast! Sorry for the short post, but WSU is knocking on my door asking for more paperwork concerning my internship! I can’t thank the Coal Creek Family YMCA enough for all of the opportunities they have offered to me over these short six weeks. I have loved every minute of my time at Coal Creek and can’t wait to see what the future holds for me!
Until next time,
