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.

This component helped me understand my foundation because I was constantly learning new techniques and skills that can be used in different scenarios and cases during certain matches. For example, the shuffle back roundhouse kick is used for a defense kick, and the stepping back kick is used for an offensive technique. With basic attack and defense techniques I can add different variations to the technique.

Blog 10: Senior Project Update

Q1) What are you current;y doing for your independent component?

A1) I am just continuing my mentorship at the Taekwondo school I work with.

Q2)What is a recent piece of research (article, interview, or audio-visual) that have you reviewed you would say was significant in helping you understand where to go next in your senior project? The piece of research should be something you reviewed in November. Please explain what you learned and where are you going next because of this piece of research.

A2) The book that I am using for research checks, "Competitive Taekwondo: winning and training tactics" helped me alot in my research checks and senior project in general. I learned a lot of training methods and drills for sparring competitions. I also learned what it takes to win or lose in these types of competitions and the factors to success and failure. For the next research checks I plan to continue to look up more information about Taekwondo sparring.

Q3) Provide evidence from your independent component or the piece of research as something you recently did. For example, a photo of something you working on for your independent component or your notes from the video you watched.

A3) Look at previous posts.

Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

Q1) Write a description of what you plan on doing for your Independent study component.

A1) I plan on to continue teaching Taekwondo as mentorship and paying extra attention to the sparring classes and form classes, because in Taekwondo competitions those are the main categories. I also intend to try to apply what I teach my students myself in my own performance. For example if I tell my students to do this technique during sparring, I plan on doing it myself to see if it will work or not. Or if I tell  my students to kick like this during a form I will do the same and apply it to myself. Also if I get stuck with anything I will seek my mentor for any help.

Q2) Describe in detail how you think your plan will meet the 30 hours of requirement.

A2) I already have a set schecdule of what days I go to Taekwondo, which are Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Tues through Friday I am usually there from 4:00pm to 9:00pm and Saturdays I am usally there from 8:00am to 12:00pm. I am basically there most of the week and so I could get most of the work done there.

Q3) How does your independent study component relate to your working EQ?

A3) This component relates to my EQ because of the teaching method I will be testing. First of all my EQ is "what are the best ways to coach a winning Taekwondo competition ?", and the independent component will help me solve and figure out which teaching methods are efficient and which teaching methods are ineffective.
