Blog 7 Independent Component 1 Approval

1.Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

 For my 30 hours of mentorship I plan to continue to play soccer for my team in Covina, and I also plan to referee a few games at the region i volunteer at. I am going to do these things for a couple of months till the season has ended.

2. Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

In order to meet the expectation of showing evidence for my 30 hours i will be providing photos of the games that i am playing in and i will also provide records of my performances in those games. I will also try to get the opinion of my coach on how i am performing.

3. And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.

If i continue to play soccer and referee games I hope it will allow me to better understand what the coaches are thinking during games and what decisions do they have to make during games. Also I hope by doing these things I will be able to see a different perspective of the game not just the player because having done research and read books already i have been able to see the difference already so hpefully by being out on the field i will truly understand it.
