1. What is most important in winning an under 19 year old soccer league championship?
2. The coach must strategize every league game that his team faces.
3. Examples/Details

• Formation 4-2-3-1 can be used against almost any other formation. Equilibrium of offense and defense if everyone does their part on the field. Meant for defense to overlap offense and have more attacking players.
• Formation 4-5-1 is very defensive and usually not a team's first choice. Usually meant for teams that need to end with a final score of 0-0.
• Formation 4-3-3 used by FC Barcelona. It is meant for the left and right defender to overlap the midfielders, run to oppoing field and either cross or pass the ball. Also meant for midfield to have control of the ball and maintain posession so the 3 offensive players can make a play or take shots. Barca has 65-75% possession on average per game.

Blog 2: Topic Choice

Content:

a.       My topic is about soccer but to be more specific it is about soccer players and performance. I chose this topic because I am very passionate about the sport. I have been following and playing it since I was a little kid. It also runs in my family to either watch or be involved in the sport. I also couldn’t imagine picking a better topic than this.

b.       

 

·         iPoly Citizen: I plan to complete my required service learning hours and assume responsibility for my own actions. I also plan to be involved and be able to show people why this sport is known worldwide. This relates to me improving as an iPoly citizen because I will try to be responsible so it can help me later in life and I will do whatever is necessary to get good grades and graduate with a good GPA. The coach even told me that playing for that team is not just for fun but also helps you be responsible if you’re committed.

 

·         Effective Communicator: I plan to send clear and appropriate verbal and non-verbal messages, listen effectively and communicate appropriately. I plan to get through to people that this sport isn’t just about kicking a ball around, up and down the field. This will make me more effective as a learner because I will understand more about this topic and communication is very important in soccer.

 

·         Effective Learner: I plan to Learn as much as I can and be as engaged and involved as possible every time I am doing my senior project. Even if I am not working with a mentor, I will get as much information as I can and try to do some things on my own. This will make me more effective as a learner because I can use what I am taught and what I m learning on my own, to try and become a good soccer player.

 

·         Effective User of Technology: I plan to read as many articles as I can about different soccer players and their soccer career experiences. I also plan to use what I already know and try to be with a group of people so I can teach them what I already know and will be open minded about my statements.
