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.
