Hi my name is Rithvik Jampana, studying in MYP5. I am an avid sports fan, and athlete. Since the age of 5 I have spent most of my life either watching sports or playing them.

Given how much I watch sports, I have seen injuries occur day after day, month after month, for the past 10 years. It has been shocking to me, how can something so common not have a solution. This is why I embarked on this journey, and decided to find my own answers. I conducted an extensive investigation into injury prevention in 3 sports, tennis, basketball, and football, and formed my own solutions. I created an entertaining, exhilarating, and informational documentary to present my research.

During this journey, I discovered just how much potential I have when I work hard at something. During this project I developed loads of technical skills that allowed me to edit, and make my product the best viewing experience possible. The creative thinking skills I have acquired as a result of my product creation have been so important for me. My understanding of product and consumer has also improved. When making my documentary I had to constantly think about “would the viewer like it?”, and in doing so molded my documentary in a way in which viewers would be engaged constantly.
