Data

I found out that many players don't really care about playing soccer. The reason they play is because they don't want to stay home. I also found that lots of players know a little of another language on the team.

Question:
Have you picked up any words from other player that speak different languages?

Primary Research

My subject will be my soccer team.(20 players)
I will give out surveys to collect data.

Secondary Research

The article that I read was very interesting. It related to my soccer team in some ways. They have lots of immigrants on the team and so do we. Some of the players on that team don't speak very well English and people on my team can speak very well. When playing soccer people have different ways of communicating. They use signs and little English to communicate. Players on my team speak about three or four languages to communicate so that other players don't understand what we are saying.
