Research and Working EQ

1.  What is your working EQ?
What is the most important feature a basketball player should have to win a game?

2.  What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format
Determination, because it keeps the player focused and the player's goal of winning in the front of their mind.

3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your 
working EQ? 
I have used many articles from the same website, basketballsuccess.com, that almost of them say determination is one of the most important qualities of a player.

4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?
My mentor is Coach Jason Parks. I will be observing how he coaches along side him to determine what he thinks is the most important feature a basketball player should have.

Independent Component Approval

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
Since my senior topic is on basketball, I plan to play and practice basketball to improve my skills as a player.

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
I already practice twice a week for about two hours each practice and I have a game every Friday, so I shouldn't have have a problem meeting the expected 30 hours. While I'm practicing, I will be keeping a stat sheet to record my shooting percentage and use that stat sheet as evidence.

3.  And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.
I will be focusing more on improving my shooting. This will help me explore my topic in more depth because I will be using drills and tips professional players use. Also, it will give me a chance to understand what great players go through to get to were they are.
