The topic I chose for my speech was how to kick a soccer ball correctly. I chose this topic because I had a great deal of knowledge about it, since I played soccer for about 10 years. This topic was somewhat relevant to the class because of the sporting event that is occurring this summer. This event is the World Cup which is one of the biggest if not the biggest sporting event in the world. I organized the steps in an easy manner which could be demonstrated successfully.
I felt that my presentation had very good energy as I was constantly moving around. My voice was projected loudly enough where the whole class could hear and there was clearness in the speech. I did mumble or stutter a couple times though which could be worked on. I felt like I made eye contact with everyone, there weren’t a lot of moments where I was staring at the ball or the window. I was consistently making eye contact with the audience. My body language though could use some working on as I noticed I fidgeted with my hands quite a lot which was not a good thing as it took attention away from my true purpose of the presentation. My physical presentation was very good because I repeated the steps twice and the steps were simplified where not much knowledge or skill was required in order to perform the task.
My visual aid was just a plain soccer ball and also my uniform that I was in. By dressing up as a soccer player I felt it made the audience give me more respect and willingness to listen because I know what I’m talking about and just dressing up catches the audience more than if I was in casual clothes.
I would choose the same topic again because I really enjoy playing soccer and teaching people how to play or perform things in soccer properly. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, but in America people have very little knowledge of it. I think I would dress up in a more colorful uniform if I had to do it again because that way I could get the attention of the audience even more and thus creating a greater impact possibly on the audience. One things I would like to improve on is not fidgeting so much with my finger and hands as it was very distracting and made it seem like I was very nervous and not prepared to give me speech.
