RAISING DIGITAL AWARENESS

When creating a blog, a web page or anything online, it is important to draw in visitors to your site because yo never know who might see your work and give you a chance on something big and/or people will start to talk about it from friend to family and so on and you can get known by many people which can create more opportunities for what ever you are passionate about. I am currently addressing my visitors on my blog as people who are interested in boxing and want to learn a little bit about it. I believe that some steps I can take to improve the value of my blog for my visitors is to post more consistently, give some of my insight on my thinking on my posts and research more on boxing so I can give better content when I work on something relating to boxing. In my opinion, I think that human ideas and interaction will always be better than digital tool because you just can't get the same reactions, thinking and most of all, you can't get the same connection with a digital tool than what you will get with a real human.

Is There An Expert In The House

An expert that can help me not only with my "masterpiece" but also potentialy help me make myself the best boxer, would either be a pro fighter or a great trainer/coach for boxing. They would have to know at least some of the history of the sport, the nutrition when loosing weight and gaining it, how to box and know some of the anatomy or endocrinology that go into it  and how it affects your body

Masterpiece "test"

I believe a test that I need to pass in order to show that I am worthy in my field is to know some history on boxing, some of the old legends of the sport that have brought it up from just being prize fighting, some science that go into the sport of boxing including anatomy and endocrinology, learn the nutrition/diet a boxer should have and also to learn how to box.

Benchmark Project

For my big project, my senior project, I am going working with things around my big passion since I was a boy, which is boxing. Boxing is truly something amazing. It has turn from being prize fighting where there weren't many rules and the fighters where just vicious brawlers who only knew how to swing their arms around, to one of the greatest sports in the world where after many years of studying the sport, have come up with many new techniques to make people stronger, faster and smarter instead of just going in and seeing an ordinary street fight. Some specific things that I am going to work on is to show what goes into boxing, the nutrition/diet, the training, mentality and a couple of other things along those lines, as well as looking into how boxing has saved many fighters and their families from extreme poverty, gangs and drugs. One big thing from last semester that can help me with my project is the 10 page research paper. That can help me because it gave me better ways to research thing for a topic and to see if the information I am given on websites are valid or not. When I am finished with everything, I don't believe that I will have a sense of fulfillment because every time I do anything, I can always see what can be improved and what can be done better but I only feel like that after I have completed something.  I believe what will impress my audience is my passion for this sport and how much I love it. In my mind, I have already taken small steps toward achieving my goal of becoming a world champion because I have already started to train and do things a little at a time right now. In my field of work, I already have a few peers that are following me, the public to give me ideas and the experts to help me with my skills/training, although I only have about two experts to help me.
