Practice! Senior Update 5

At practice on Saturday, March 9 I helped lead bocce practice along with Greg Oberon. Greg Oberon has taught me a lot on how bocce truly works. He has taught me all of the rules and regulations. At practice we worked with the athletes on how they throw the bocce ball. Having a good arm is very important when playing bocce ball. Athletes need to understand how forcefully or softly they need to throw the ball.

Senior Project and ESLRs

1. What ESLR have you excelled in most in your senior project?
I believe I have excelled the most in being a effective communicator during my senior project.

2. Please explain why you think you have excelled in this ESLR.
When coaching at Special Olympics you need to pay close attention to all of needs the athletes have. Some athletes are unable to communicate verbally. I need to be able to understand their wants and needs. Sometimes when talking to the athletes I needed to rephrase my sentences so they can understand a concept. Being a effective communicator is key at Special Olympics.

3. Provide evidence from your senior project.
