Also evaluated how great answers occur: Very good questions ideally.

Lesson Comments
Cameron forgot his homework assignment for the 2nd consecutive session. Cameron is really enjoying this. He connects with the special engagement I have with him through common athletes mentality and what separates those who make it from those who do not. The same principles apply in athletics and life! (Nerves vs. Adrenaline ) Cameron really identified with Dale Earnhardt Jr. insights as son of star athlete. Will be interesting to see what his feature story is. I explained, like a great athlete, a great reporter must versatile. Cameron did a nice job delivering the 'Rest of the Story' with final facts. Now he must be versatile enough to see the story beyond the story at the PGA Tournament for his Feature Story. (I gave him example of who is the guy who introduces each player, their hometown, as each round begins)
