Football ECA Reflection 1

Having already done 2 weeks of football, I have come to realise the potential that I can improve through this sport, not only as an athlete but also as a 21st century gentleman. The sport, football is all about fair play, teamwork and adapting to changes. To give some examples, I showed sportsmanship in training last week, where a player got injured, but because it was not a foul we were allowed to play on, however I understood that he needed immediate help, so I had the ball played out of bounds in order to get a break for the opponent to be checked on by the medics. Teamwork plays a big part in a sport like football, I like to think that, if you have a team filled with world class players, but no teamwork, it will bound to cause more negatives than positives, teamwork trumps all.

With that being said, I also found out some weaknesses I have in football, getting to hasty when receiving the ball, playing rash passes. So I will train that aspect, by keeping calm whenever I receive a ball, look up and identify my teammates before hitting a pass.

LO Achieved: 1, 2, 4, 5
