My mentor is Coach Will Robbins. He is the head coach for the varsity basketball team at Southlands Christian School. This all relates to my EQ because he is an actual coach and has had some kind of success when coaching a team which is one way to answer my working EQ.

Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval

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

What I plan to do for the first independent component is to use the opportunity Southlands Christian has given iPoly and play for their Varsity basketball team. I plan to see what the experience is playing on an actual CIF basketball team and see what it takes to be a league championship worthy team.

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

I plan to meet the 30 hours by going to practice, playing in all the games, attending team events, and having one on one with Coach Will (the head coach) about his game plan for the team.

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

I will be doing many things to go more in depth in my topic by seeing how it is to play for a high school basketball team and see what it takes and how to coach a high school basketball team.

4.  Post a log on the right hand side of your blog near your mentorship log and call it the independent component 1 log.
