Hunter Udall proposes to plan and run a youth wrestling tournament as his senior project. He will send notifications to a local wrestling club to invite up to 220 wrestlers. He will also coach young athletes to prepare them for the tournament. On December 15-16, 2012 at Creekview High School, Hunter will divide wrestlers by age and weight for bouts, find experienced referees, and coach the athletes he has been training. This project will allow Hunter to learn the skills of coaching and planning athletic events. He has zero projected costs and will use school facilities and coaching resources. Hunter's project facilitator will be his former wrestling coach and math teacher, John Judkins, who has experience coaching and running tournaments.

All questions must be completed thoroughly to receive approval for your Senior Project. Some
projects will be submitted to a committee for final approval. This form must be completed and
returned to your senior English teacher by Friday, August 17, 2012. You will not be allowed to

The Senior Project is subject to the plagiarism policies set forth by the district and Creekview High
School.
1) Describe the overall topic of your Senior Project.
The overall topic for my senior project is planning and running a youth wrestling tournament. Also, I
will be coaching youth wrestlers to prepare for the tournament.
2) What is your previous experience in this area of study?
I am a wrestler for Creekview High School, but have never gotten a chance to coach or figure out how
the tournament is run or planned.
3) To what career will you connect this project (required)?
I will connect this project to the career of coaching.
4) Describe what you are proposing to do for your Product step-by-step and in detail. Write on the
back of this sheet if necessary.
First, I will send out forms and notifications on the wrestling tournament to wrestling athletes. I will
do this by sending a form to Team Georgia, a wrestling club that partakes in many wrestling events.
This tournament will only adhere to no more than two-hundred-and-twenty wrestlers. Next, I will
coach young athletes to prepare them for a youth tournament. Following that, I will create bouts and
set up the wrestling tournament. I will divide the wrestlers with their own age groups (as weight does
not matter because it will be a beginner’s tournament). Also, I will find referees that have experience
in referring or in the sport, such as wrestling coaches from high schools, around the wrestling
community. Finally, I will hold the wrestling tournament, at Creekview, on Saturday through Sunday
December 15-16th, 2012, and coach the athletes that I have worked with previously during the
tournament.
5) How is this project a “learning stretch” and a challenge for you?

2. This will be a learning stretch for me because it will show you all of the different qualities a coach
needs to have to be successful with their job. Coaches work on everything from teaching to planning
events for their athletes and this will give me the opportunity to do exactly that.
6) What are your estimated costs for completing the Product, and how will you fund these costs?
I have an estimated cost of zero dollars. I plan on using resources around me, such as other coaches
for referees and the school building has been reserved for me already on the dates that I have set.
7) Who have you chosen (or are considering choosing) as your Project Facilitator?
I have chosen a former wrestling coach and math teacher of Creekview high school by the name of
John Judkins to be my project facilitator.
8) What is this person’s expertise in this field?
Mr. Judkins has been a wrestling coach for several years and is recently the head junior varsity coach
for Creekview high school wrestling. He has also planned and run many wrestling tournaments
throughout his years of coaching.
