Spain Team

This weekend my team and I had a game to qualify for the finals. Since the other team scored one goal last weekend, it counted today. So we had to score 2 or more goals to qualify. We couldn't leave it at a draw because that would make or opponents win with a extra point they had from last Sunday's game. It was a tough game but my team managed. We won 3-0. Yaaay!!!!

Spain team:)

going to start our stretching.

Before heading out to the field

Team Huddle. Made a master plan on how to win
(which worked)

About to give my credential to the Ref.
He just makes sure we are registered and aren't
 using a false ID

My forward buddy! She scored two goals. So proud!
We did really good today that the coach
even bought us a torta.

The assistant coach, her daughters and I. Great
people and soccer players

Family came to support! Can't wait till Gohan is
out on the field with me

 

 

Post-game smiles. 

My team played really good! We went past our limits. Even though we were winning 2-0,we just wanted to keep scoring more. In our eyes it was still a 0-0 game. We were all determined to win. Unfortunately there was 3 direct red cards because my teammate and a girl from the other team got in a fight and the third card was because another girl from the opposing team didn't like what the ref was calling as fouls. She was tried of the Ref and cussed him out. Which really is unfortunate to loss a player like that, but we had to keep playing. A lot of our parents came to support us. There was like two rows of parents just cheering for us the entire game. It was amazing! NOW OFF THE THE FINALS!!

                              

Blog 8: Research and Working EQ

Content:


1.What are the most important factors in winning a girls soccer competition?

2.

• Nutrition because for example you need carbohydrates for your muscles because it is the most essential fast fuel for energy production and nutrition helps you do well in soccer games or training. Your performance is the result of nutrition.

• Practice makes perfect! You won't get better with or without your team if you don't practice. It is practice that gives you both the skill and the confidence to be able to make passes and the shots that make all the difference in the games. Also practice focuses on developing your skills and techniques.

3. The most important source is "Creatine, Carbs, and Fluids: How important in soccer nutrition?" by Donald T. Kirkendall. It gave me a better understanding of what to eat and what is the importance of soccer nutrition.

4. My mentor is Jaime Fuentes from my Spain team and I'm trying to get another which would be Marissa Tipton, coach of the Southlands girls soccer team. What I do at my practices relates to my EQ because we are trying to win a competition and we are practicing to get better with ball control, speed and conditioning. Everything that is needed to win a competition. 

Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval

1. For my independent component I intend to do 30 hours of mentorship by attending all my soccer games, which I have started going to in the past two months. I also wanted to try coaching my soccer team during practices or games. Showing them different soccer drills and strategies to the win games.

2. How I intend to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence would be taking pictures in the process. For example showing the different soccer drills they will have to do. I also want to post videos of the team doing specific drills and the during games. It would help my team and I improve and be the champions in our league.

3.I think this will help me know my topic more in depth by showing me soccer drills that will help you with your touches on the ball, speed, agility etc. Basically everything you need to become a better soccer player and knowing what drills are good to strengthen you legs or other muscles you need for soccer. Anything that will help you improve by what you need to eat before and after the game. What foods are better than others.
