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!
Through the past few months, I played basketball with the school coaches in the U19 basketball team. Below are my reflections on the learning objectives I set myself at the beginning of the year.
#LO2 Challenge: I constantly challenge my boundaries through the last few months’ training. In my recent training, I asked my coach how far I have made since the beginning of the year, he said: “You progressed a lot, although some techniques and forms still need to be improved, well done.” I always challenge myself through actively pairing up with people that have more experience than me during group games.
#LO4 Commitment: Basketball is a sport that I am passionate about and I have committed to this sport since middle school. During the past months, I have participated in every training available, as well as playing basketball with my friends casually outside of training times. And I believe that casual basketball games are times when I can use the skills I learned during training to develop them further as well as putting them into practice.
#LO5 Collaboration: Basketball exercised my collaboration skills. During training, I realized I have been communicating and collaborating more with my teammates. Basketball is a team sport that needs a lot of communication and collaboration. During our attacks and defences, I began to use hand signals as well as verbal expressions to inform my teammates/trick opponents to the direction I am passing the ball to. Recently, I realized my passes, receives, attacks, and defences have been much smoother than what they used to be.
Today, 2 September 2020, is the first session of my basketball U&19 Pre-season training.
This post is going to plan for my learning outcomes for the 1st season activities – Basketball.
#LO2 Challenge: First of all, basketball can challenge me. Although I have played basketball for several years now. My skills are still not perfect, in fact, no one can be perfect in any sports. There are always skills to be learned. Thus, this sport can challenge me in many aspects, both physically and mentally, and I look forward to those challenges.
#LO5 Collaboration: Secondly, basketball can exercise my collaboration skills. It’s because basketball is a team sport that needs a lot of communication and collaboration. For example, when someone is defending you, you might want to “call a screen” (a strategy where one of the team members come forward to block the opponent’s path, in order for the attacker to reach the hoop), that requires collaboration and communication. Thus basketball as a team sport can truly exercise one’s collaboration skills.
#LO4 Commitment: Additionally, basketball is a sport that I have committed to for years. In fact, I started playing basketball since middle school. I was always interested in this sport. And in recent years, I have brought this sport up to the competition level. I wish to commit to this sport in the future.
I look forward to this seasons basketball training! And I hope that I will be able to achieve all of my learning outcomes at the end! I am really excited!
