Game Over!

GENIUS HOUR COMPLETE

I cannot believe my Genius Hour project has come to a close!

This experience flew by, and I am feeling quite confident about what I have learned about the sport of football. I can now hold a conversation with friends and family who adore the sport and feel comfortable discussing rules and regulations of the game, along with hashing out how the Buffalo Bills are doing!

This being said, I definitely still have a bit of work to go in my journey to get all of the rules and fundamentals down pat, but I am very content with what I have learned over these few weeks. This project gave me the opportunity to dig deeper into something that I have always wanted to learn more about, and gave me the structure to persevere through the task.

When I started this project, I figured that the more knowledge I gathered about football, and the more of an understanding I built about the game, that my level of interest in the sport would increase. While I enjoyed physically attending football games, this was not the case! I found out fairly early on in my journey that football is definitely not my favourite sport for a reason. I cannot say that I really enjoyed watching the football games, but I am glad that I watched them anyways and continued on through this project. Had it not been for my Genius Hour project, I would probably not have the football knowledge that I do today as I would not have made myself sit down and research rules and regulations, or follow the Buffalo Bills to learn more about the players and the team.

I am pleased this project gave me the opportunity to learn more about football, and I definitely loved attending a CFL game and watching football in real life. Football will definitely be in my life for a while because of my boyfriend and his family's love of the game, so this knowledge will definitely come in handy!

Nevertheless, I will stick to watching hockey and cheering on the best team in the world, the Montreal Canadiens!
