LO 7- Ethical Choices & Actions LO 2 Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process
REFLECTION:
Before I played volleyball, I was into soccer, yet my goal was to be able to make it into Varsity or SAAC. There was a lot of competition in my soccer team and I wanted to try something new. I wanted to start off fresh, learn a new sport, to test my skills and see how far I would get, regarding teams. I started off with the basics, where I learned how to bump a ball, serve (under hand), overhand toss, and I also learned the different positions of the court. It was very troubling for me at first because I did not know anything at first. Once I went to practice, every Tuesday and Thursday after school, I saw that I got better and better. For example, I started off by doing an underhand serve because I had no strength to bring the ball over the net with a overhand serve. To be able to get better, I worked on doing arm exercises on my free time, such as pushups, to build more strength. Every practice, when it was time to practice our serves, I would work on my overhand. As expected, I did not get it over the net quickly, but over the year went by, I continued practicing and eventually got my serves to go over the net more frequently. It was a challenged, but I accepted the challenge because I was learning something completely new. I changed sports to get to my goal and try something different than my usual routine.
