Blog 14: Independent Component 1

Literal
- I, Jesus Ortiz, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
- The soccer club Irapuato FC helped me complete my independent component. 
- For my independent component, I helped out the soccer club Irapuato FC. I first started to only help out during practice, and shadow the head coach, but then he gave me some say in what we would practice or even the starting line up. I had to justify my decisions.

Interpretive 
- My work demonstrates 30 hours of work because I had to go almost every Tuesday and Thursday to help out. I have been doing minor stuff right now, like helping set up for practice, drills and games. Also the coach Lorenzo Raya has been teaching me all the duties a soccer coach has. After every action he does, he explains the importance of it to me.
 

Applied
- This component helped me understand the foundation of soccer coaching, because it introduced me to a whole new side of soccer. I had no prior knowledge of coaching, and this experience was eye opening. For example I did not know how much work was put in order to set up a competitive and successful starting line up. I believed that the best players should automatically start and that the bench was just there in case of injuries.
