Answer 1

What is the answer 1 to your EQ?
  • My first answer is: Making sure the kids you're coaching know how to behave safely while using the potentially dangerous equipment.
What evidence do you have to have support this?
  • During my time volunteering, I've seen a couple of minor injuries. Most of these injuries have been caused by unsafe equipment practices; if you don't fall right, you can hurt your ankles or back. These injuries could have been preventable if everyone in the class knew how too keep themselves safe on the equipment.
What sources did you use to find this evidence?
  • My service learning.
