LO 2 Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process

For me, it was a challenge in itself to try out for the badminton team this year as I have not played badminton in close to two years. For me to get into the A team therefore, was a huge achievement and feeling of success. I challenged myself in trying out for the team this year by practicing with people who have played badminton regularly before the trials, and tried my best to somewhat grasp a good feel of the game before I tried out for the team. So far, I feel that because I took the challenge of trying out for a sport that I have not played in a long time, I have developed new skills such as the perseverance for training 3 days in a week which I already had somewhat done as a result of tennis. Not only that, I developed my skills in the sport as well since I have been playing with some really good players and coaches since the trials as well.
