In this assignment, you are the lead sport scientist for ESPN’s Sport Science show. You will select a sport skill and create a video discussing/demonstrating/analyzing the movement using the information gained from this course. You will first need to decide if you would like to complete this project individually or as part of a group (no more than 4 members per group). If you decide to be a part of a group, you will need to contact your group members and each member must sign themselves up via the sign-up sheet below. The sign-up sheet will close on March 25th at 11:59 pm. Once the sign-up sheet closes, it will not re-open, so make sure each group member’s name is listed.
