Literal:
A. I, Salvador Gutierrez, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
B. My coaches. Coach Rodrigo Jativa and Genaro are my sources.

D. I played league championship games with my team on the weekends and also trained with them twice a week (Rarely once). We did different drills, exercises and worked on different strategies and tactics throughout each session. We practiced a lot of ball possession, shooting, and offensive tactics. Many drills such as 25 yard sprints and dynamic stretching were meant to help us stay fit and constant with our conditioning.
Interpretive:
(playing left defense while keeping an eye on the ball, but I had to be careful the guy from behind me didn't make the sprint and get passed me.)
(Getting ready for the second half against Colima)
(Working the offside trap tactic, I tried to make the line with the other defenders and after, that play led to the first goal of the game.)
(Had to keep an eye on the ball and once the offense made a run for the ball, I had to pressure him so he wouldn't get a clear shot. The play ended in a goal kick.)
(I was on the left side, but had to go jelp put pressure on their midfielders)
(Started pushing up the field as the team pressured the opponent starting fromtheir side of the field. I had a close eye on #10)
(waiting to see where that loose ball ends up, if it ends in our posession, I open up, if not, I close in on the opponent and pressure him so he won't make the pass.)
(Getting intrsuctions from Center Back, Trevor, to open up and keep calm in order to control the ball more.)
(Keeping the pressure on the opponents, moving up the field which cost one of our players a yellow card.)
(On defense, waiting for the opponents free kick. Had to be close to the opponent in order to avoid the play from growing or becoming dangerous for our team.)
(I'm watching the ball because a foul has been committed. My job as the defender is to stay back and open up and the rest of the team moves up the field.)
(I try to make the sprint as quickly as possible in order to not give the defender time to react. They might have tried an offside trap, but I waiting for the perfect moment to make the run.)
(Being left wing I play all the way on the left side of the field and am moving up, although I go up and down the field constantly.)
(Making my way onto the field after a quick warm up and stretching. We lost this game 5 - 2.)
Applied:
This independent component helps me with my answer on using the 4-2-3-1 formation because it was our main formation. We never lost a game while using this formation. This was when our ball posession and goal scoring opportunities were at its best. This helped guide us victories against teams such as Atlas and Colima. It also helped support my answer on doing endurance exercises to create the stamina necessary to play the whole game as close to peak level as possible. Everytime we did the exercises at training, it would be a pain, but during the game, it would take a while for it to hit me that I can't play much longer. The weeks that I only practiced once a week had a negative effect on me. In the game of that weekend, I was getting into half of the second half and I was gasping for breath. I really felt the difference. The rest of the team also seemed to be affected by it. We lost that game 5-2. The score itself says it all.
