December Post

December Post

This month I have continued to train with my U-14 team, but we have not had any games in a month. Although we haven't had any games we continued to work hard. Working drills and teaching them new tactics and teaching them field placement. I am attempting to take my team to the next level. On another note just in case anybody was wondering our South-Poly team,which I play in, is going to have their first league game on January 17 at 3:00 it is a home game it would be great if we got support for that. This has been my December blog post. Peace! 

Extra blog post for November

Well this month we played our first game as a team and won it 4-3. And we have been training we were supposed to play Avalon high school. That got canceled due to the rain but the match has been rescheduled. Also this month I haven't really gone to train my team, but the times I have gone I've helped them out. We also have a game this Tuesday December 2. Let's go southpoly!

 c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer? Yes, because it is not a one word answer and can have many different points.

2.  What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format.  Examples:

EQ: What is the best way to support an undocumented student in graduating from college?

•  Incite them to fill out their California Dream Act 2 application; this application finally allows undocumented students to apply for financial aid.
• Further train staff to accommodate to the needs of undocumented students by requiring them to take courses in relevant areas such as remedial reading, ESL, Spanish language, and cultural differences.

3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ? 
What makes a coach great?

Examples:

• Great Relationship with players, have a good tactical mindset.
• Must have great knowledge with both offense and defense. 

4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?

My mentor is Agustin Lopez the work I am doing is relateable because I am learning what works and what doesn't when it comes down to coaching.

First Loss in 2 Months

Defeated

     This month for my team it was a terrible month. We went on in the season undefeated for 2 months after I had joined the team. The boys lost 3-1 after a game against an academy from Sylmar. Although the kids showed character by running and playing a great 60 minutes. Although we lost and I was not mad the boys and I continued to practice hard after this. I have began apply things from my research I have looked more into the kids as a coach in a psychological matter. And we continue to work hard to this day and I plan to play those kids again because with my improvement this kids just keep getting better and better.  

Additional Post for August

         August Mentorship Post

           Well during the month of August I continued to train and teach the kids of the club Penjamo F.C. During that month we had the best games winning all 8 matches we had. Also 2 tournaments at the city level. In this case we had the most valuable player Jaime Chavoya. During this month the amount of learning I have gotten has been amazing its gone past just throw people on the fielding. It's become of composing your players teaching them to be calm but fast mentally. This is what I did during my mentorship during the month of August.
