When reflecting on my week of the senior project I was proud of what I had accomplished. There were a lot of long days but it was worth it in the end. I learned this week to make sure to have iMovie updated. I also learned how to add music to a highlight tape which was awesome. Personally, I wasn't a fan of what I was doing because a lot of it was busy work so it sucked sometimes. Although it felt awesome to present the highlight tape to Trey because he was so happy. It also felt good to know I was helping him out in the end. 
    
    During the week I got a lot of surprises because I thought I was a lot better with hudl and iMovie than I was. Adding music took me forever to learn to do and I sucked at focusing at times. Some surprises were how much work went into cutting clips and how tedious it can be at times. I benefitted from this week's activities by allowing for Trey's highlight tape to get done and for work to be easier for next week. Also, having Rachel was a big help as it created a new sense of support. This support allowed me not to get distracted and do as much work as possible each day. 
    
    This whole week helped me achieve my goals by making sure that I learned about highlight tapes and functioned properly. Also, to be able to get into the whole atmosphere of college sports was cool. Helping Trey felt amazing as it showed what was valuable from my work. This was amazing as it made Ally's a little bit easier to do. Also, it shows the light at the end of the tunnel for the senior project by me putting in the hard work now and making sure they pay off later.

 Wednesday, May 12th required me to wake up early around 9:00. I wish I had more of a sleep-in so that I could enjoy the senior project. As soon as we got to the training room we got to business. We started going through games and marking times of good clips that express good play. We got distracted at one point watching a boys game but then it was back to work. We then broke for lunch which was yummy. We capped off the afternoon with more hard work. I worked for four hours today (12 hours total).

 Tuesday, May 11, I arrived at the training room in a fret because I couldn't find Rachel. We then met in the training room and talked about the plans for the project. I then suggested athletes who I could make one for. We landed on Allie Cimis and Trey Chickering. Allie plays hockey, and Treys plays baseball. Then we got working on finding games and getting them into hudl. We then started on finding clips and jotting down when they happened. We worked for four hours today (8 hours total).

Week 1 Reflections

      This week was a great start to my senior project campaign. It began with me trying to figure out how the whole process was going to work. I learned this week how to work hudl. I also learned from Rachael's expertise what makes a good highlight tape. I then learned how to cut clips and insert them into highlight tapes.  Personally, what I was doing was something that interested me. Some aspects such as watching the games and having to stop are a pain. Although cutting clips and putting them into iMovie is fun. This whole process is rewarding because it feels good to know you're helping an athlete out.       In the beginning, Rachel and I had different plans for the project, originally I thought I was only making one for Allie. Although, it was decided that I should do one for my good friend Trey too. This was a change of plans resulting in me having to change my schedule around, especially so that I could have Trey's highlight tape done in time.       I will benefit fr
