Notes

So I'm noticing that some of my foundation questions can not be answered by my sources because I can't find anything online for the statistics. I think that my interviews will help me out a lot on this situation because they should be able to give me a lot of information.

For now,

Interview Questions

Today I started to write my interview questions. So far they are mostly about the influence the Penguins have had on youth and the rates of youth involvement. I've saved my questions to my flash drive for now because I'm going to work on them this weekend so I can get my interview(s) done by the end of next week (my e-mail one) and hopefully get together with my coach and interview him (face to face). Nothing is really new with any other work. I'm just going off of what I have right now, and hopefully I'll have more information in the next week to week and a half.

Interview/Notes

So yesterday we started to talk about taking notes for answering our foundation questions. I just looked over my foundation questions, and they seem like they're fairly spread out throughout my topic.

Also we started talking about answering these questions, and finding someone to interview. I am thinking about interviewing my coach. I've already talked to him at tryouts and he agreed that I could interview him, so I'm getting ready to set up a meeting place so I can interview him and gather information to help me answer my foundation questions. I was thinking about interview someone else as well. Dave Hanson (General Manager of the Robert Morris Island Sports Complex). I think if he agrees to some type of interview that I could gain valuable information because he is a former professional hockey player, he coached a Pittsburgh Hornets AAA team a few years ago, and he manages the complex, so he should know about youth involvement in our area.

After interviewing both of these guys, I will put their information to use by answering my foundation questions, with the information that I have already gathered through some of my research.

For now,

Nathan

Today

Today I started to write my proposal. I know it's do tomorrow but I've been working on my action plan chart that goes along with my proposal. I'm almost done writing my introduction, and I think the rest of this paper is going to be easy to write once I'm done writing my intro.

Till tomorrow
