20 time 3/31

This week I accomplished finishing up my background information on the design of the stick. I also researched factors that affect the speed of a shot, & figured out how I am going to set up my trials. Right now I am working on getting images of the sticks, and figured out how I am going to get the radar gun with corona. Next I plan to go out and shoot and average out the speeds from the sticks. And finally write my conclusion.

update

So far my project is going well, I have been diving deep into research to keep my project moving. I have all the sticks I need. The corona virus has affected my project because I can't use my helper, Max Snellenburg. I was going to use his radar gun to measure velocities of the shots I take and use his lacrosse goal, but because of the quarantine I am unable to go out, so I have to somehow adjust my plan to ensure my project is still going to be complete.

elevator pitch

Everyday lacrosse sticks are bought by players who participate in the growing sport. Around 100,000 girls in the United States. This means means more than 1 billion dollars are spent on girls lacrosse sticks. Unfortunately, some girls aren't getting the maximum amount amount of success in the sport when they're purchase cheap sticks that are bad quality. I'm going to test three popular sticks that are bought by consumers. I will conduct a test to determine which stick has the fastest release point. This is important in the game to get off quick passes and fast shots. The sticks I've chosen are different weights, brands, heads, and netting. I have played lacrosse for 9 years now, so I know my way around a stick. In my career I've gone through around 8 sticks. My vision is to be able to provide young girls a good stick that will be able to enhance their level of play. I also believe my test will be able to show manufactures ways to improve the designs of their sticks.
