Agustin Lopez El Monte 

     What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why? I have gained soccer knowledge when it comes to coaching as well as playing. Reason being I am viewing soccer from a different point of view as a coach and not a player and I am seeing common mistakes and how much coaching impacts a player.

     How has what you’ve done helped you to answer your EQ?  Please explain. As I explained previously it's basically the same I feel that me coaching has broadened my view to finding the vision I pictured of a team and what would work best for a team to which I have found all three of my answers by coaching my team and applying those systems to them. So the way it connects is that mentorship has been where discover my answers and test them.

A question I had is how does the coach know what position is best for the players?

How do you discipline players?

How do you explain to them how you want them to play?

How important is it to have a good relationship with your players?

4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why? After all this time I spent with Coach Agustin I learned the importance of tactical changes in soccer. Realizing soccer is more than just defender midfielder and forward. Realizing that there are also substitutions are extremely important for a team knowing who to pull out and who to pull in.

5. How did what you did help you choose a topic?  Please explain. After training the kids and coaching them I have realized that I do enjoy coaching as much as I enjoy playing it. I met a lot of kids with the same aspirations and dedication as I is really great and I enjoy coaching them and helping them not make the same mistakes i did.
