Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Sport might be one of the best ways to help you develop the skill of confidence. As your strength, skills, and stamina increase through training, you’ll have more confidence in your ability because you’ll see them visibly improve. What is especially useful about learning confidence through sport is it teaches you to base your confidence on the hard work you put in.

My goal is to help strengthen our class confidence and build self-estem throughout a softball unit.

In team sports, you can’t hope to win if you don’t train hard and consistently. Your confidence comes from knowing your body and mind are in the best condition, so even when you’re up against tough opponents, you know you’re ready. You believe in your abilities because you’ve seen them develop.

My goal is to provide softball equipment for my class to help reinforce confidence and self esteem among my student-athletes.
