Interpretive

The most important thing I was able to gain from my experience from my mentorship and mentor was that I was able to learn how to adapt to certain techniques and strategies and being able to explain to all the students of different ages and size. Through mentorship I did so much trial and error that I know what techniques are effective are teaching kids and adults that will be competing in big championships like State competition or National competitions. 

Applied 

Just the entire experience of being at my mentorship, and being able to teach my students techniques and figuring out which is effective or ineffective helped me answer my essential question. Through having small exhibitions at the school I was able to arrive at the answers of, having strategies, executing the kicks, and just experiencing sparring with different opponents.

This second independent component help me practice more specifics towards competition. As you can see in the photos I trained the kids to have good technique in their form and sparring. I was a little mean here and there but it all was worth it because the kids were always smiling in the end. it help me answer my EQ because for the certain students that were competing in sparring in the state championship I was able to apply the coaching skills I learned and picked up through my research, mentorship, and from personal experiences. Some students were able to win with my help but others tried their best but lost. I noticed some kids trained harder than others and which was why they were able to succeed while the other ones didn't cut it.
