Independent component 2

Content:  

A) Include this statement: “I, student name, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.”
B)No source. just me.
C) I was able to coach the girls powderpuff team, and coach some of my own team, while giving a few lesson to some players.
I was able to complete 30 hours of coaching. I coached powderpuff, I also gave lessons, and coached my team. Although we didn't win, I feel as if I did my best to let the girls and players be the best hey can be. 

This independent component hardly helped me answer my EQ. I already had my answers locked in. What it did do though was help me confirm my answers. For example, anytie we had a scrimmage, it brought out the best in all the players. Pushing themselves to compete. Or when I created fun games, its helped players want to do the exercises they didn't like doing. For example, Running. I also was able to form bonds with a few people, and this led them to having more trust in me.

I enjoy coaching all ages, but I started coaching a youth program for about 6 years, and its really amazing to see these kids all these years later, and how much they’ve progressed.

It’s not really about the money. Coaches don’t make a lot of money, and you can not make a living off what they make.

educate yourself. Doesn’t matter what you are learning.

Most coaches say its winning championships, but I think the most important is that they learned something new, and 2 that they never lose the drive for the sport.

A coach can’t really ever reach it. Its continuous improvement, and you are always learning something.

Make sure you have support.

You need to make sure you give instruction, but not to the point where you are super strict and mean. Patience plays a big role when forming bonds. Especially with kids.

When coaching you are always making split second decisions, so I think you just need to keep your cool. Especially in the ice rink.
