FLEX Class - Soccer: Rising Stars | France

- Comprehension and Analysis: Students will be presented with a script and presentation of the up and comers of France and be able to express their analysis of the same (and similar) teams. 
- Critical Thinking: Students will respond to comprehension questions relevant to the prominent team.
- Social Skills: Students will be able to meet other students with a passion for soccer! In doing so, they will learn and practice conversational skills through the classroom chat. 

I have played, coached, and now analyzed sports for the past 20 years. As a coach I was able to coach every position and team at the High School Varsity level. I also had extensive practice with breaking down team and opponent scouting film. This led to my current position where I work for a football analytics company where I analyze and input data of different football teams in the NFL and NCAA, and soccer leagues around the world. 

(Optional) 
Each video will be paired with a script and set of questions to help with focus, note-taking, and critical thinking.

The student does not have to, but can turn in their answers by messaging me directly in the Outschool teacher-learner chat. I am always happy to interact and respond to students' work and/or questions. 

With this being said, each presentation will always have a set of questions coupled with it. 

(Optional)
Similar to the homework, this will be optional. Each presentation will also be paired with a "big picture" question that will encourage the student to activate their "critical thinking" cap. The learner will be asked to answer the question in 3-5 sentences explaining their answer. 

No live meetings, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
