Blog 14: Independent Component 1

LITERAL
(a) “I, Leonardo Larino, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.”

(b) Cite your source regarding who or what article or book helped you complete the independent component.

My most important source in regards to who helped me complete the independent component would go to my mentor and coach, Coach Will. He is the one who guided me through playing basketball at Southlands and was the one that gave most of the new knowledge that I gained about the sport of basketball and coaching basketball.

(c) Provide a digital spreadsheet (aka log of the 30 hours).   Post it next to your mentorship log.

(d) Explanation of what you completed.    

The hours I completed show the time I have spent playing basketball for Southlands Christian School. The hours show all the practices and games played that I have attended played to become better as a basketball player. I have seen what kind of experience high school basketball players go through and had a perspective of the duties a coach has with his team.

APPLIED
How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better?  Please include specific examples to illustrate how it helped.

This component helped me understand the foundation of my topic by showing me the key factors that make up a good, winning basketball team. I saw how our team was winning many games, which came from having a team with players that know their fundamental skills and that are able to work together with the teamwork that they have. With the teamwork the team had, we were able to win the games that we could.
