5-min. Presentation Reflection

What would you say stood out about your presentation performance and why?
I think that my performance wasn't great, but it was okay because I had things to talk about for 5 minutes. And I was talking about balls which makes teenagers giggle haha.
What was the most challenging  to do and why?
The most challenging part of the 5-min is to figure out what to talk about for a short amount of time because there is so much to talk about, narrowing the topic down to only five minutes is tough, when you can keep going on and on about the topic.

Interview 1 Reflection

What is the most important thing that I learned from the interview and why?
What I learned the most is that what I have been reading is actually true to a lot of people. The philosophy of a coach is very important when it comes to their team, and being able to pass on your knowledge and be a mentor for little girls is a rewarding experience. Even if coaches don't have the same reasons to coach or have had different experiences a good coach always teaches his players about life not just winning and losing.
