     What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

• The most important thing I gained from this experience is figuring out what a basketball coach actually has to do to prepare his team for the challenge ahead. I saw the different obstacles a basketball coach had to overcome so that he is able to have his team ready for whatever challenge that may come ahead. I saw that being a coach isn't always easy and the different hardships that come with coaching a basketball team.

     How has what you’ve done helped you to answer your EQ?  Please explain.

• Going to Southlands Christian and observing what my mentor/ coach, Will Robbins, does there has helped me answer my EQ by seeing what a coach does to help his team get better every time during practice. At my mentorship, I saw how my coach/ mentor incorporated different drills that went with what we were going to do or who we were going to face later while these drills helped us get better individually as players.

4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

The most important thing that I have gained from this experience is that a person has to be able to utilize all the things they have learned from their fundamentals and the things they have practiced. A person has to be able to use their teammates and other opportunities while playing so that they are able to perform the best basketball possible. They should also be able to stay focused and put everything else in their mind away so that no emotions or distractions are obstacles while a person plays basketball.

5. How did what help you choose a topic? Please explain.

Playing with my mentor has showed that I am really passionate about this sport and that I want to continue to learn and improve on things that can show I am able to play at the next level and play with the better players. I want to see how much there is more to learn about the sport of basketball and hopefully be able to use them in the future.
