AVY Flag Football

2.   Who is your contact?  What makes this person an expert?
John Behen was apart of youth sports for many years, and has helped develop a youth racing organization in Orange County.

4.   Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours.
My mentor and I have put on 2 flag football seasons for youths. This includes the scheduling, ordering of venders, advertising, contracting, set up, e-mails/phone calls, contracts, and coaching of the AVY Flag-football league. We have worked well together and I believe completed the required amount of hours already.

Blog 12: Holiday Project Update Due

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?
-Over the break I planned out the Winter 2016 season of AVY Flag Football. This included setting up registration, meetings with vendors and possible advertisers, and equipment checks. Also had contract meetings with the City of San Dimas Parks and Rec. through out break.

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?




-I learned that if you want something done to nag until it is completed. My source of this was the miscommunication with the city as one of the employees went home early being sick and I was e-mailing them asking for paper work, but since they weren't in the office and I only e-mailed this wasn't figured out until I called them at home the next day.

3.  Your third interview will be a 10 question interview related to possible answers for your EQ. Who do you plan to talk to and why?
-I plan on interviewing the President of San Dimas Little League. I plan to interview him because Little League brings in over a hundred kids to play each season and is a nationally know youth sport organization.
