Independent Component.

I, Slade Dude Suzuki, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.

Coach Chris (951) 830-5868.

I have watched my coach, and his techniques of coaching. I have analyzed the good and the bad, and have used what I learned into my coaching style. I am using it right now for the Powderpuff team.

I spent 30 hours studying my coach. I have made notes on what makes a good and bad coach. Watching my coach has really helped me out. I have a 1st hand experience of what being a coach takes, and just how much pressure it can be.

This has helped me answer my EQ, because I now know what it takes to be a coach. My main goal is to teach proper form, while having fun. I feel that by learning all that I have, I can now take it, and make the people I coach have a good time, while still learning how to play. I now have all these tools in my toolbox, that I can develop into the proper tools I need to get the job done. The overall experience has really helped me, and I think I can become a pretty good coach. Not just at hockey, but at any sport.

This month I have contacted my mentor, and have started working with him to get my 50 hours. I have already finished my 30 required, and now have to work on the 50. I have about 26 hours so far, and should be able to finish before the end of the year.

The activity was really good, and I am glad I made time, with more content to spare.

       AE

I did all the requirements. I met them, and I feel I went over with the activity. I also had a nice powerpoint.
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
It was easy to say what I needed to, because of all the research.

Make sure not to lean against the table.

blog 12 Mentorship 10 Hours

1.  Where are you doing your mentorship?
Upland California
2.   Who is your contact?
My old coach fernando soltero
3.   How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship log located on the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?
I currently have 0 hours, because my hockey schedule is the exact same time as mentorship. I am the goalie, and can miss practice. I am curious though, if I can use my normal coaching hours as mentorship hours. I coach players, and analyze what my coach is doing. I see his pros and cons while watching him on the bench.
4.   Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
I was not able to do the 10, if I am able to count my learning lessons with my current coach though, I did a lot. I watch him as I'm on the bench, help other players, coach other players, talk to refs, ask about calls they made, instruct drills, and talking with my other coach.

Holiday Update

 1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?

 I did not do anything over break. I played a hockey game at the Honda Center though. I have not had time to work with my mentor, because my hockey schedule conflicts with his practice time.

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

That the Honda Center is amazing!

3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

I would talk to my new mentor I have.

Extra Blog December

This month I have been spending lots of time watching my hockey coach. I am a goalie, and the goalies have to split the games. since I don't play every game, I watch what my coach is doing, while on the bench. I have analyzed his pros and cons. it is very helpful to see what causes our team to win and lose, and to see the quick decisions that are constantly being made. I have learned a lot from just sitting and analyzing what the coach does. I have 3 coaches, and each one has a different style. some are more successful then others. their coaching methods are also very different.

End of Month Blog- November

I finally found a mentor. :)
