Yesterday our team went to a wrestling tournament at Washington High School so I thought that would be the perfect time to get some hours in coaching my teammates when I wasn't wrestling and they would be.  It was also super convenient because I had to injury DQ out because a kid from Sacred Heart High School rolled my ankle and sprained it pretty bad, I did still beat the kid.  It was a pretty short day I had about two and a half hours of coaching in for my teammates.  I would have had more but the tournament was really short this year..kinda disappointing.  My mentor wasn't able to attend this tournament because he was off with the girl wrestlers at a different tournament.  The assistant coach was there that day, but my mentor did say that it would be a good chance to watch the other coach and see how different there coaching styles would be.  The coaches do coach differently but are both good coaches.  My Mentor gets more excited and yells in positive and negative ways and my assistant coach is more quiet and calm when coaching and talking to us after our matches but both methods seem effective when trying to help a wrestler on the mat and our team works well with both coaches.

Finally got my Topic down! its actually a huge relief for me that I have a mentor an a set project :D
topic is going to be on couching wrestling which i think would be good because I already have close to four years of experience as a wrestler so couching would be the next step when i stop wrestling.  
sooo I'm happy that is all out of the way..now I just have to think of a new thesis statement an re-write my outline..*sigh* time to start working!
