Basketball seasons finished at the end of term 2, and below are my reflections on the learning outcomes which I have set myself at the beginning of the year.

#LO2 Challenge: Doing basketball challenges me because I am constantly learning new skills that I might not be good at. By stepping out of my comfort zone like this, it enables me to develop my thinking skills as well as my physique. It challenges me because putting new skills into practice requires a lot of failing and trying, and I enjoyed every moment of failing because it allows me to become better at this sport.

#LO4 Commitment: I have been playing basketball for years, and I am really glad that I forced myself to commit for this long, although the challenges and hardship that I pushed through. It’s because both my coach and I realized how much I have improved during these years. And I am very happy about my progress and I will certainly play this sport in the future. Although term 2 has finished, I am still playing basketball with my friends regularly to strengthen the skills I’ve learned.

#LO5 Collaboration: Basketball is a collaborative sport. It requires teamwork as basketball is played in teams. I learned how to collaborate as the coach taught us more skills regarding team offence/defence, as well as putting them into practice. I made a lot of friends from playing basketball and I really enjoy collaborating with teammates, I believe that the collaboration skills I learned from this not only will help me in this sport but also in study/social/work life in the future.

I really look forward to next year’s basketball program when we may finally play games against other schools!
