For the activity part of CAS, I have been playing tennis in an academy outside of school. I have been playing tennis for quite a long time, and before it was a requirement for CAS. Being a sport, tennis requires technique and skill, but also stamina and commitment. As a result of this, I play tennis at least twice a week to keep practicing my technique and improving it, as well to improve my fitness so that it becomes easier for me as my stamina improves.
As I want to improve and get better at the sport, I have been motivated to keep practicing every week. The only way to improve in an area like this is by practicing, so I have been motivated to stay committed to it so that I can see myself improve in all areas of the game. Because of this commitment, I can see that I am getting more consistent and powerful with my shots, which is a result of practice. As well as this, I am able to focus more on things such as placement of the ball on the court, as I no longer of to think about things such as the technique of my strokes.
Going forward I think that it is important for me to stay committed to the sport I have chosen and like, so that I can improve further in both the way I play the game and my own physical fitness. This is very important because personally I find sport to be the thing that motivates me to exercise. I find things like just running on a treadmill to be quite boring, whereas in playing tennis you are keeping fit but also learning how to play sport that also has an element of competition.
