Yesterday, I met with my mentor on the tennis courts to practice with the boys tennis team. My mentor introduced new tennis drills to me. These drills were simple and easy to perform. Since I was comfortable with these drills, I helped my mentor run them with the players on the team. This helped my mentor work with each player individually. I was able to build relationships with the players on the team. They aren't strangers to me anymore. Having a good relationship with each player allowed me to understand their strengths and weaknesses. I discussed these strengths and weaknesses with my mentor. This enabled him to conduct drills specifically relating to a weakness each player had. That is what I did yesterday.
I feel like I am understanding how to be an influence on the team, which is what I am suppose to be. I think I am beginning to get the "hang" of my role on the team. I am still improving on my speech skills. Improving my speech skills is the main goal I want to achieve. The next time I am meeting with my mentor, I want to continue running drills and practice my speech skills.
