Books and Other News.
For my senior topic, I have chosen to do Hockey Coaching. I have not found an official mentor yet, but my dad is a level 4 out of 5 hockey coach. I could use my dad if I wanted to, because it is really hard to get a level 4 coaching card. the only difference between 4 and 5, is that 5 can coach college level. I have already learned so much about coaching and the responsibility. My dad have given me a bunch of coaching books, and I have read through one of them. It was full of great knowledge. The biggest thing that stood out to me, is that just because you can play the game, doesn't mean you could coach it. That really stood out to me, because I have seen a ton of great players that then go onto coaching, an are just bad. The coach is such a big factor in team performance. I played for a team one season, and we won probably two games. The next season we had the same exact team, with just a different coach, and we almost made it to the championships. Coaching a team is no easy task, and these books are filled with tips, tricks, and personal experiences. My goal by the end of this project is to get my coaching card, and have my own team. Some people just can't coach, so I hope to determine if this is a good fit for me.

1. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AigtwnyXLM-kdG55TC13eEx6dDFndTAyVXBHMWhVSkE&usp=sharing
2. Gary Suzuki. Number (626) 252- 2115
3. My Mentor covered most of the Questions I had. I asked about things like "What is a blanket?"
"How is sales?" "Do you enjoy your job?" These are some general questions that were raised during my volunteer hours.
4. I think the most Important thing I gained during this experience was the knowledge of my mentors job. It was a interesting process that he goes through, and to see it in action was very cool. Selling a product is a very amazing thing to watch. There are so many factors that go into making a good salesmen. It is incredible how risky it is, if you work of commission.
5. I am not sure exactly what my topic is going to be. I know what I did is not what I want to do. it seemed like a fun job, but it's not what I am looking for. I enjoy sales, and might get a job there, but not selling this. My mentor told me with everything being digital now, the industry is going to die out in 20 to 30 years. That is not the kind of job for me.
