Task 1: Reflecting On Participation
a) What areas was my strongest?
I think that my strongest aspect of physical participation was effort. I started out no where near fit, but I knew that I wanted to be, and the only way to do that was to try. Most of the time, especially in the personal fitness unit, I pushed myself as far as I could. This gave me a new perspective of my limitations. I would set short term everyday goals to do better. If I did 20 push ups one day, I would aim for at least 21 the next. I always used my past goals as a starting point for my new ones. I would run with people that I knew were much faster than me so that I could have a goal literally a few steps in front of me all the time. I was really proud of my effort in …show more content…
This is really strange because I nearly always take on the leadership role in all of my projects in all of my other classes ever since I was little, simply because I usually really enjoy being a leader. However, in P.E., I just don’t feel comfortable taking on any leadership roles, I don’t feel confident enough to. Sometimes I feel like if I am the leader, and something goes wrong, say we lose a point, or the whole game all together, it will be my fault. In my other classes, I know that if something goes wrong, I will be able to fix it. If someone doesn’t do their part in a project, I know I can do it, just so it's done. If someone doesn’t understand a question we have to answer, I know that if I understand, I will be able to explain it. In P.E., it’s very different. I have no guarantee of what’s going to happen, and I know that I most likely won’t be able to fix whatever happens. I don’t like knowing that I can be responsible for something going wrong that I can’t …show more content…
This varies for different activities. For example, if I’m a captain when we play volleyball, I can see strengths and weaknesses in the whole team, including myself, and so I know where would be the best positions for everyone to play, but it doesn't mean I would place people where I think would be best because I want everyone to have fun and be comfortable with playing wherever they want. I don’t like telling people what to do unless I know that I am right, which in this scenario, I may not be. This goes for all the games and activities we do. I have not yet figured out how I’m going to try to improve my leadership skills, I guess I have to become more confident and care less about what everyone else thinks, but that sounds much easier said than done.
I also need to improve my physical activity outside of class. I only play one sport outside of school and that is volleyball, which only started back recently. Before that, the only physical activity that I did was during P.E.. It is difficult to find time to exercise when school work consumes so much time. When the semester is over, I aim to use my fitness plan that I created in order to stay healthy and in
