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

The path of becoming a successful student athlete begins with having a good support system. As a freshman volleyball coach, I intend to help my players stay organized.

This project consists of 3 different methods of organization.

First, the wristbands will be used to help our athletes remember their position and where their position should be located on the court. Second, the book of drills will help keep our athletes organized in their teamwork throughout the season. And third, the student planners will help our athletes to stay organized in their sport, school work, and home life. As their coach, I plan on helping to teach them how to use their planner as they document their schedule and work load.

The skills acquired through these tools are priceless as they continue progressing through life.
