I would definitely say that based on my participation in terms of physical activity as I’ve gotten older I do make up those statistics. As a young girl I was involved in an array of sports such a basketball, athletics, cross country, softball and netball which I would do all in one year. However now I play netball once a week and gym occasionally. I wouldn’t say that for me it’s because I don’t like the competitiveness of the game and I just want to have a relaxed time with my friends because I do like winning and a it of competition. Personally it was more that I became more focussed on other things in life such as getting a job, socialising with friends and I probably have become more lazy.
There are many assumptions that come with physical

Unfortunately I don’t know the answer to either of those questions at the moment so it’s hard to say what will be happening. I know that I if I were to go to university I will continue with netball and join a team and even if I don’t go to uni I will still look into netball clubs to join because I love the sport so much. I don’t think right now I will continue with my gym membership because I don’t go as much as I should which means I’m wasting my money. Maye being away from school will open different doors for me and introduce me to a whole new variety of physical activities for me to participate in. The assumption that boys and girls can only play certain sports hasn’t affected me to date and I don’t think it will in the future. At the moment I don’t really want to play any “male” sports, I enjoy netall and going to the gym when I do manage to get there, however I believe that later in life if there was a sport I wanted to play or a physical activity I wanted to participate in that wasn’t necessarily for girls I wouldn’t care …show more content…
As I grew older I became more and more of an anxious person who didn’t want to try a whole load of new sports socially. I still enjoyed netall and what I love is having friends in my team which takes away that anxiety. Another way I am a barrier to myself is often I put off exercise or physical activity always saying “I’ll do it on Monday” and when Monday comes nothing happens. To move past this barrier I need to be more strict with myself. Rather than putting things off I just need to do it rather than making excuses. As for the nervousness I would like to think that will go away on it’s own and it’s just me being a silly teenager but if not then I just need to learn to put myself out there and get involved in the things I want to be involved in. If it came down to it there may even need to be extra measures taken but I will just cross that ridge if I come to it. My biggest enablers for participating would be my parents and the schools I’ve attended. I say that because I have always gone to schools that offer a wide range of sports and physical activities for me to participate in and have the facilities to do so. My parents are huge enabler aswell because if there was any cost involved they would be the ones to pay for it, they would be the one to take me to and from trainings and games, would encourage me to always get out and be active and always support me in my choices. Not having my parents
