Last speech

I felt very confident giving my last speech unlike my first. For my pursuasive speech I knew that I had a good hook and that my speech was very convincing. I was very nervous for my first speech because I hated giving speeches and got myself worked up. Now I have learned to be relaxed and not make it a big deal. I think that I have improved my speech giving skills on a mental level more than on my delivery and presence. I have learned how to create a good hook and not worry about what other people think. I have a habit of moving around and saying "um" and "and", but those are habits that I may never break. Overall I am more confident about giving speeches which will help me in the future.

How to speech

Good

• hook it related my topic to other sports and other people
• volume and speed of speech I was not too quiet and I didnt rush through my speech
• steps I had steps of how to hit each shot

Bad

• eye contact I looked down at what I was doing too much
• conclusion I did not really have a conclusion to my speech
• enthusiasm I started out well with my hook and then it went down
