I finally made it to stretch my leg twice more than I started. I was born stiff and couldn’t even stretch my leg more than 90 degrees. I thought I would never be able to stretch my leg and become flexible. However, the coach inspired me and we kept trying every training. Therefore, recently I finally made a huge improvement. Being flexible rewarded me with a lot of advantages. For example, other flexibility/agility required sports like basketball and volleyball made huge progress.
LO 1 AWARENESS – Increased awareness of strengths and areas for growth
What am I good at? What are my strengths?
I’m good at powerful kick and strength. The coach commented that I have a very thick leg muscle trained before through other sports like swimming. Therefore, he said that is why I’m able to do such a powerful kick.
What would I like to improve?
I still need to improve with flexibility and staying calm when we are doing sparring. I tend to be too excited doing sparring so I often kick the opponent too hard.
How has my involvement in this activity made me aware of my strengths and areas for growth?
Obviously, as I’m very motivated to improve the coach is giving me extra care and also trying his best to make me perform better. His comments and my involvement has made me find out my strength and areas for growth quickly.
LO 5 COLLABORATION – Working together to achieve an outcome
Who did I collaborate with?
People from the same sessions hold the target and stretch each other and help to do core/strength training.
What made it easy or difficult to work together?
It was easy in some areas because we are approximately all at the same level as we started the group session at a similar period of time. However, the difficult part is that our height and weight are all different so when we are doing a collaborative workout it is difficult to collaborate.
What challenges did we face when working together?
The challenging part is that our height and weight are all different so when we are doing a collaborative workout it is difficult to collaborate.
How did we overcome them?
We are still finding a solution to resolve this issue we are having.
Why couldn’t we overcome some challenges?
It is very difficult to overcome challenges like this because physical appearance can’t be fixed by effort.
