I have finally started on my mentorship. I started about two weeks ago. I've been taking notes and following my mentor around and asking him questions. His teaching methods are unusual to me, like the top photo, but they work.

Mentorship Check
1. Where are you doing your mentorship?
I am currently doing my mentorship at WEBB high school.
2. Who is your contact?
Coach Jason Parks. The high school basketball coach for WEBB high school.
3. How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship log located on the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?
I currently have zero hours of mentorship because the basketball league started in late November and I was not given clearance to enter the private school until a week or so before Winter break. And this past week I was not able to make it. But, they practice every day after school from five to seven and sometimes a little later and they have games I will be attending every weekend so I should be able to acquire hours fairly quickly
4. Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
N/A
5. Email your house teacher the name of your contact and their phone number confirming who they should call to verify it.

Senior Project, The Holiday
1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you over the break with your senior project?
Unfortunately, I was not able to work on my mentorship because the high school where I'm doing it also had two weeks of vacation. However, I did play a lot of basketball for the independent component. I have completed the thirty hours that are required. I also did a few research checks.
2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why? What was the source of what you learned?
The most important thing I learned from what I did was that encouraging your team even a little can go a long way. For example, if your team mate gets a steal, or a block, or rebound and you go over to congratulate them and get them hyped about what they did, it'll boost their confidence, which leads to an increase in their performance. I noticed this when I was playing in a tournament and my coach told me to do that. I did my best to increase morale, but we still lost. But, the games were always very close even though our opponents had an overall better team.
3. If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
I would first like to talk to my mentor because as a coach, he knows what it takes to get the championships and that's basically what my EQ is about. But I would also like to talk to the coaches up at Cal Poly or other high school or colleges. Particularly college coaches since those are the most elite before the NBA.
