Blog 12: Mentorship 10 Hours

1. I am currently mentoring at Southlands Christian School in Walnut, California.

2. My contact is Richard Orr.

3. I have a total of 15 mentorship hours, plus the 13hours from summer, for a total of 28.

4. I spent most of the hours just talking with my mentor and listening as he taught me different coaching strategies for revision. some involved breaking down film, reviewing game footage, and editing player stats from the season.

Blog 11: Holiday Project Update

1. Over Winter break, I met with my mentor to add hours, and talked to my previous coach to learn how to organize and break down game film from our team's previous season.

2. The most important thing I learned was that a coach must always stay organized, and must have a game plan on and off the field, even if it is pre-season planning.

3. I would most likely talk to a college football coach (community college for easy access) because he is pretty much a step under a professional coach. Speaking with him would be the closest and probably the most relevant source of research for my component.
