Halfway There!

Hello Viewers,
Since my last blog post, I have made little progress on my genius project due to more procrastination. Throughout these next few weeks, I plan to really increase my productivity for this assignment. Although my progress was less than sufficient since my last post, there still is a small bit of the project that I have accomplished. For instance, I was able to add a little bit to my plan. Also, I finalized my public pitch and filled out the google form so that step is certainly complete.
But to complete the entire project, there is still a significant amount of work to be done. I will need to finalize my plan for the project as well as finish and edit past blog posts. Then lastly, I need to work on the final product. This will consist of research documents, training exercises, websites where coaches frequently go to recruit, and tips to consider on the path of recruitment. So the road ahead will most likely be long and a bit stressful, but hopefully the end result will be profitable.
I'm still feeling pretty confident about my project despite all of the work I still need to complete which I have listed above. I remain confident because I feel if I really apply myself, this project could end up being one of my greatest. Besides that, I believe the idea I've come up with is relevant to a substantial amount of people and could prove to be helpful to all of them. There are plenty of division 5 high school athletes committed to basketball who dream of the opportunity to play at the next level but it just seems out of reach. That's why I think my end product, if utilized, could be positively effective.
I have indeed had to adjust my plan throughout this whole process. The reason I've had to adjust it is due to me falling somewhat behind. Because of this, I've had to adjust my plan by setting aside more and more time to work on this and catch up. Also, I've had to extend dates that I had planned on finishing steps by. So as I've stated before, there is still a lot to be accomplished, but hopefully in the end all of the stress and time spent will be worth it. Thank you viewers for reading! More to come. Also, enjoy the image I've placed below accurately displaying what I'll look like these next few weeks attempting to catch up on the project.

Can Only Get Better From Here

Hello Again,

        Not much has changed regarding my Genius Project since my last blog post. I have found myself growing repetitive in my own mind making promises to myself concerning making process and catching up. Although, of the little progress I did complete throughout the time since my last post, I was able to make a dent in a couple other past blog posts. Also, I was able to add a few more steps for my plan on what I will complete in the future for this project. So I can admit with ease that the productivity has been lacking and my efficiency will definitely increase by the next team I post a new blog.
        There is still an abundance of work to be done for me to complete the entire project including the final product. I will need to finish and edit past blog posts. I'm also going to be needing to adding and adjusting to my plan. Then, lastly, I will be needing to put together and compose the final product. This will include a large amount of research to obtain more knowledge on the subject so I have reason behind my suggestions. I will also need to find more websites where coaches spend time reviewing highlights and statistics of high school players. Although there is already one which I have found and have been using for the past several months which I have displayed below. Plus, training exercises for players to improve their game and be ready for displaying their skills for the next level.
        I've already said it several times, I will continue to say it in the future, and I will say it again now: I remain confident with this current project and the final product that I will be producing for it. I'm pleased with the idea behind it and I feel as if it can help hundreds of students if followed and used effectively. Hopefully I will be able to produce the final product the way that I have envisioned it.
        I actually have had to adjust my plan a little lately. The only reason I've had to is because of my lack of productivity. I have had to push back deadlines that I had for myself. I've also had to add more things to do after realizing how much more work I still need to complete. But ultimately, I think everything will start to go better as my efficiency does. Thank you all for reading! More to come.
