Presentation Reflection

In what way did the first interview affect your presentation?  Please explain, be specific and use an example.

  • The First interview made me realize that I had to completely switch the topic of the five min presentation. Initially I was going to do it on the various events in competitive gymnastics but then i realized how vital that information would be during later presentations and decided to save it. 
What you say stood out about your presentation performance and why?
  • I would say my mumbling would have probably stood out. I tend to mumble and talk rather quickly and quietly, so when I was presenting I'm sure that was happening.
Also, I think I put too much emphases on the fact that death and or grievous injury could be a problem when playing on the equipment.
What challenges did you faced and why?

  • I think the biggest challenge I faced during the presentation was my speech and the fact that I had to make my poster a school the night before instead of making a run to the crafts store. I didnt get to make it the way I wanted it with the materials that I needed. I had to make due with the things on hand.

    Who to interview

    I am going to be interviewing My old gymnastics coach. I've known her since I was about five or six and she's always been helpful. She's been coaching gymnastics for a long time so she has an amassed knowledge of competitions  and what it takes to get in shape. I think she'd be a good person to interview. In addition to asking her the standard questions, I plan on asking her about her background in Gymnastics. All I know is that she came from Germany, I don't know how she leaned or got into gymnastics. I also plan on asking her about the training and practice required to become a good gymnast.
