Special Olympic- reflection before easter break

Demonstrate the skills and recognise the benefits of working collaboratively:

Special Olympics with us to help and play badminton with the athletes with a special need. Hence, it is very important for us to plan our day to avoid any confusion. Working together also helps is reducing the burden on one person. It also makes us more focused and we avoid one person to do one everything. To do that we have created a spreadsheet where we wrote which person is going to do what in each session. One person has to conduct a badminton activity whereas the other a fun activity. This helps us to divide our work and work efficiently in a group. Working in a team is always fun as you share responsibilities as the more the better. I think the best think about my service is people are very organised and wrote down what the have done while conducting a session so if anyone of us forgets anything or our confused what we have to do for a fun session we can just have a look and conduct the. This helps everyone and this is how everyone knows what we are doing. This record of what we are going to do is also useful to people who will be doing the service next year. I think being super organized in a group is very beneficial.

First reflection -skill development

Learning skills is very important before teaching helping someone. Today I was working on my foot work and how to hit the shuuttlecock with a lot of intensity. I learned that badminton is not all about hitting the shuttlecock its about how you hit and how you put your skill into action  while playing badminton.It was difficult as i needed to coordinate with my foot work as well as my how i hit the shuttlecock . I realised that how difficult it might be for the special olymoics athelete to do all the skills together as i was suffering from the practice session today. It was like coming out of my comfrort zone and giving my best as i was going to help the atheletes . I needed to be completely engrossed in the session .
