Independent Study 2 LIA

L- I, Emily Almeida, affirm that I completed my independent study which represents 30+ hours of work.
I assisted in coaching a youth (8U) recreational team for the season.

I- I spent over 50 hours with the Bat Girls team at practices and games, helping the coaches and occasionally running my own drills.

A- This helped my senior project because it gave me the hands on experience of coaching a youth team

Independent Study 2

What are you doing?
         For my second independent task I am helping coach a local 8U softball team and working with pitchers from the league as an individual coaching.
How will you verify it?
          I will have one of the other coaches or manager of the team that I am working with sign off on my participation with the team. With girls that are pitching I will have parents of the daughters I am working with sign off on practices.
How does it relate to answering your EQ?
        Coaching young girls helps with my EQ because this is what my EQ asks, 'influencing youth athletes to play softball', and coaching them shows me how they act when they play and how they respond to different coaches attitudes and teaching techniques.
