Independent Study 2

1. Log- Chino Valley Calvary Chapel Church League- 3/26, 4/2, 4/9, 4/16, 4/23 all 6-8 pm. PacRim league 1/9, 1/16, 1/23, 1/30, 2/6 ,2/13, 2/20, 2/27, 3/6, 3/13, 3/20 all 1-3 pm.

2. The 1st and 2nd pictures are from the adult league that I joined with Riley, Jimmy, Mikey, Muhammad and a couple of guys from outside of school. The league is called PacRim Sports.
 The 3rd and 4th pictures are from the church league I'm playing in right now.



 3. Complete the LIA:

Literal

(a) "I, Jeremiah Teves, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work."


(b) I played in these two leagues. Basically, what I wanted to do was apply what I learned from coaching basketball into my game. 


Interpretive


I applied the skills that I learned while coaching, plays, and fundamentals. I also helped set up plays and drills that we could use for both of these teams. I'm happy to say that I've improved my game a lot because of what I have observed in my service learning. I learned that keeping in mind basic fundamentals in basketball is very important and that I not only have to play the game but also to study it. And because I have, I can see that my game has changed for the better from a few months ago. 


Applied


These two things that I did for independent component 2 were really important to me. By applying what I learned from service learning, instead of gaining respect, I changed my answer to my EQ to disciplining the players. While playing in these two leagues, I learned to establish discipline. I learned to really pick my spots when shooting, know when to pass and when to not, to hustle, and basically learned the fundamentals of basketball. Because of my independent component 2, it showed me that without discipline, a team would not be a team because everybody would be playing separately. Without it, a player can't get better. If a team lacks discipline, how can they execute the play that their coach tells them to? They won't be able to because they're not playing as one. Also, scouting the other team and finding their weakness would be useless if you're team can't adjust to a different play compared to what they're used to because they lack discipline.
