I know that there is not always one way to solve a problem or answer a prompt, so...

...era of America history. Previously, I have had experience in athletic coaching primarily squash back in the Northeast. My approach, however, was very much geared to finding how any given athlete learns and finding the best approach to introduce new techniques or strategy into their repertoire without feeling the need to force this information upon them. I believe if approached correctly any student (academically or athletically) is capable of evaluating the benefits of understanding a...
