How have you maintained your motivation with CAS?

For being a dance showcase leader and a dancer, I am motivated by my other dancers and friends who practice together motivates me. It is stressing when I think about how many more rehearsals we have before the show, but I would like to overcome them step by step and build confidence to be able to perform.

For netball, the club outside of school has kept my motivation as the new season started after the term holiday in Dec-Jan. As the new season started, there was a trial for getting into the elite teams which has helped me to keep exercising as much as I could during the long break. From Season 3, netball will be a season sport at school, and there will be tournaments coming up, which should motivate me more.

For figure skating, it has no season, which means that I have to keep the motivation all year round. It is hard to keep motivating myself when there is a challenging skill coming up. Being with my coach and my friends who are also working towards the challenge to achieve the skills, are the motivation for me.

For chamber string ensemble, since we have a performance coming up at the Esplanade in March, I try to practice myself and as the group as much as we can in the time we have left.

For service, meeting with the partners and seeing them smile during the activities motivate me to continue interacting with them.

Reflection – Activity

In my school team, we joined the south-east Asia tournament called Fobisia. This was our first time joining since it is held early in the year and the Netball had not started as an on season sport. Even from this, we discussed as the team and with the activities department to have early morning training in addition to the pre-season training.

Since I had joined this sport in G9, my team had participated in tournaments that came up later in the season. It was difficult to get into the pattern of morning training, I think it gave the whole team the time to not only build skills but also teamwork and trust. I enjoyed being able to train hard even in the pre-season period and to continue being a player in the U19-A team.

During 2-day tournament, there were hard games, not just because of the strong team against us, but also when we had back to back games with little intervals. I think self-management, mentally and physically is very important, as well as encouragement and collaboration for playing in such tournaments, where we are again the same team for several times or losing one game but having another to go onto right afterwards.

We came 3rd overall, which brought us the goals to improve further in terms of as a team and individual to be able to beat the above 2 teams in the next tournament coming up later in the season.

How do you feel about this?

This is a picture from the netball game I had. I was not too confident in defending, as my height is quite short compared to many other people who play the sport of netball. In this match, we were again a team of adults who had more experience, skill and power compared to us. Even from these disadvantages, I was able to block and defend quite a lot of passes, which had lead to a close game in terms of the score. From this experience, I was able to build confidence in my skill of defence and to keep enjoy playing netball.

Just like this experience, the CAS reflection helps me to see my improvement, overcoming concerns of my self.
