Training Lesson 1:
Cooperation: I used the interpersonal skill cooperation by still participating in the basketball lesson even though I forgot my PE gear and had to wear my uniform. This helped my team use the time better as we had everyone doing the drills so we had an even number of players. It also helped us bond as a team for our first training session. Next time I will continue to cooperate with my team so that we get more training in and so we continue to bond as a team. I will do this by bringing my gear to every practice and game. Fairplay: I used the interpersonal skill fair play by giving the ball to Laura because she hadn’t had a shot on goal even though I only had one and wanted to practice shooting some more. This benefitted my team as we all had turns shooting and this means that we will be stronger as a team when it comes to the playoffs. …show more content…

The benefit for my team was that we learnt more about the skills we needed to use to get better at basketball like passing and dribbling as a team and communicating more about where we were on the court. Next time I will continue to participate in the game by passing to my teammates and dribbling the ball to the other end of the court. Fairplay: I used the interpersonal skill fair play by telling the ref that I stepped without dribbling the ball even though the other team got a free pass because of it. Because of this, my team followed my example and we played a fair and clean game. Even when we were losing we played fair and I think that this made everyone feel better about the game when it was over. Next time I will continue to be a fair player by not getting mad if a call doesn’t go my way and instead knowing that the ref might’ve seen something that I hadn’t and knows what’s best for the

Phil Jacksons lifelong quest to bring enlightenment to the game of basketball even though it is about competiveness.

And of course there is that one jokester in the team that makes everyone laugh which made our team better and more special and unusual. But, before the game starts, one of our players couldn't play ,and had to watch the game on stands because he was younger than most of us and can go to tournament next year too.

They came down the court and we go a steal, ran down the court and made an easy layup. By halftime we noticed something, the expressions on their face… they were shook. We had intimidated the A team and that pushed us to play even harder and make sure everyone knew we were a dangerous team to play against. We beat them and we were happier than a kid at a circus. We had become the A team.

I was trying to encourage our team, and kept yelling to get a stop and do what we were supposed to. However, I noticed that I was doing the same thing they all were - backing off when the person I was guarding got the ball.

Then, Alex, Ben, and Sherman all started to follow what we started.

I leaped as high as I could and unfortunately missed the tip the game was already heading south but the game had just started so we had no worries. The first quarter had several lead changes we both had bad shooting quarters shooting below the 30% but that wasn’t what mattered we were all worried about looking good as a team and winning the game not individual stats. About ¾ of the way through the first quarter our coach called a timeout and called us to the sideline and said “Guys you are a great group of kids and have made my coaching experience beyond expectable and you are a bright group of kids so after this season I’ll be retiring and making sure I go out with bang so win this game for me!” and that’s when the game took a drastic change, we began to play with our heart not just our

Heroes can be defined in many different ways. The best definition would be that a hero is a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds, and noble qualities (dictionary.reference.com/browse/hero). In almost every novel or story there is a hero and it typically tends to be the main character. Whether or not the main character is a hero or not can be hard to tell depending on the story or novel.

Everyone encounters an adversity in life. One vital adversity in my life would be standardized tests. Standardized tests such as the ACT and SAT have caused a majority of stress since my junior year in high school. It amazes me how a test score can play a key role when it comes to defining you as a person. Not everyone has the same strengths as another person and it should not be the main focus when it comes to admitting an individual into college.
