POST #1 - handball

1. 
   Identify an influence

A factor that had an influence on my participation was having Miguel come from outside of school to teach us. It made me more interested and he had previously played handball competitively so he had good tips and tricks. I found he had a good way of teaching and communicating with his students.

2. Describe the effect of that influence on participation  (Think about feels like, sounds like looks like)

This factor had a positive influence on my participation because it caused me to pay more attention and be more intrigued in the sport than I would have been otherwise. I felt interested and excited going into each lesson, which influenced my participation and engagement. It sounded like me listening while he was talking and teaching, and it looked like a lot of improvement from the first lesson.

3. Explain the effect of that influence on participation

I think this factor had such an influence on my participation because it was something different that we don't normally do (having an outside instructor), and since he was very experienced it helped me improve heaps from the first lesson, and since I was engaged and participating, I was listening and paying attention, so I picked up the rules and most of the technique well.
