- Start by listing/identifying the interpersonal skills you will be discussing in each entry

__//** Interpersonal Skills **//__ 1. Giving and Receiving feedback 2. Solving problems 3. Negotiating

__//** Week 1 **//__ __//** Entry 1 **//__ Today I was a appointed the role of referee of my team ( the orange team ). My team and I had a bit of a bad day because of winning only 1 of our 4 games but we all encouraged each other by saying good "ball skills" and "good try".I think i could get better at this skill by encouraging a bit more.

One of the games was against Harrison Clayton's team. It was a good game but one of the goals they got looked a bit off so me and the other referee "Harrison Clayton" came together to discuss what we think should happen about it. We talked a little and came to the conclusion of giving their team the goal.I need to get better at my talking and negotiating skills but with a little work they will become good.

//**__Entry 2__**// Today my team ( the orange team ) and I, won 4 out of 5 of our games which was a big improvement from last week so my team was pretty pleased with the result. We seemed to be working better as a team than last week. Our passes were on point to each other and we would comment on how good they were by saying "Great pass". this created a good impact on my team by making them feel good and made them want to do it again.

We also seemed to be communicating better with each other by calling for the ball by saying things like "cross the ball over" and I am open. An example of that was when Quinn,Tim and I were running up for the goal. Tim called for the ball by saying "cross the ball over" so Quinn passed the ball with perfect accuracy. Then when Tim received the ball I called out to him for another cross so he did and it was kicked perfectly to line up with the goal for me to score. After we talked about how sick that play was and how good Quinn and Tim's passes were.

At the end of the day it was a big success with our goal keeper deflecting off most of the balls that where kicked our way and also our great kicking skills and calling for the ball.

__//**Week Two**//__ //**__Entry 1__**// Today Quinn Tim and I started the lesson with some simple drills like dribbling the ball and passing it between one another. Mean while our equipment manager Manoj was setting up the field that we where to play on.

We won 3 out of 5 games today which we took as a great success because the games we won Manoj saved so many goals from going in and we managed to pass the ball to each other avoiding the other team intercepting the ball. So today we managed to score a good amount of goals and stop a good amount from going in.

Today's lesson wasn't as good as last weeks but we where communicating well and doing well as a team so the over all result of today was a good one and i am proud of what we did today.

__//**Entry 2**//__ Today we had a pretty good day of playing some good soccer today we have been getting lots of draws lately but we are still having a fun time not losing. Today we started every game with a rock paper scissors match with me winning most of them but not all some of the rock paper scissors were a bit on the doggy side but who ever i was vs we could always come together to negotiate what should happen.

Tim Quinn Manoj and i where working well as a team today with great passing and also some nice blocking from our golly Manoj. Also today me Tim and Quinn told Manoj to come out of goal and have a run so he did just that and managed to run down the whole field and score a goal.After seeing that we all told Manoj how good that was and how good his ball control was.This impacted the team in a positive way because manoj felt really good about him self and ran and did it again. In the end today was a success in my eyes with some brilliant team work and encouragement we managed to pull out a good result.

__//**Week Three**//__ __//**Entry 1**//__ Today we had a good day with some ups and downs but as usual we started the day of with some excises like running and passing the soccer ball through the cones and stuff like that.in the warm up i was giving and receiving feedback by Tim when told me I should give my kick a bit more power then I had been doing. This impacted me because i was able to improve on my skills.

our first game was against the red team which out number us 3 to 5. Tim manoj and I had to find out a way to win even with the huge disadvantage. So we came to the conclusion of just passing the ball to each other over and over again until we would score and this worked very well i communicated with Tim to pass the ball then we scored a goal.Over all today was a huge success.

During our 3rd game today we played against a team that Mr Darkins was playing for and we communicated effectively with him by talking smack this demoralizing his team.This impacted there team because while i was doing this there team was detracted. More seriously we communicated when there was a lot of confusion in what team my team was playing and where. This took up some time but in the end we all sorted it out through communication.
 * __//Entry 2//__**

Today I supported others when Tim tried to score a goal however he missed this was a little discouraging due to how easy the shot was however we just said "hard luck man" This impacted our team because Tim got back up and was right back in to it and we moved on because we know from previous games that it is better to support others then put them down even as a joke by saying stuff like "oh how did you miss that?" It was especially important because this was a hard team but we ended coming through with a win.

Today Quinn was playing up front again like he normally does but this time he got an amazing goal when he kicked it from almost the side line and somehow the ball managed to make it though the goal. A couple of people on the other team however thought it was wide even though their goalie said it went in they just wouldn't accept the fact that we scored. After some conversing they agreed to give the goal and through problem solving we were given the goal.

__//**Week Four**//__

Today we communicated effectively when we had a reliever who didn't know exactly how the organisation of our tournament worked. We had to tell him what we were doing so that he got us on task and made sure that were not mucking around. We also had to communicate in the teams because of the reliever we had to be a lot more independent and find out who we were versing by our selves.This impacted the lass because then we would know what we where doing.
 * //__Entry 1__//**

Today we supported one of the players we were playing against because he was doing so well. We supported by telling him how well he was playing and due to pretty much this one player we lost. The support that we gave this person really made them smile and even though we lost we were fine with it because of the skill level that this player was showing we decided to give this player MVP.this impacted our team and there because even thought we lost we where fine because how good he was and it made the person feel really good

Today we problem solved when the teacher didn't know what we were doing so we told him what we were doing so he could watch how we were doing. We also problem solved when one of my teams players tackled the opposing team and although i knew this was only joke I called for a penalty

__//** Entry 2 **//__ Today we had no teacher show up to class so we communicated effectively when we told Tim that he should go find one to take our lesson. Tim went and did this however the teacher didn't know what we were doing so once again we communicated when we told him what we were doing so that he could keep us on task and ensure we had a good lesson.This impacted the class because then we would get on with what we where supposed to do

Today I supported others when the other was getting mad cause they were losing. I did this by saying "all good man it's only a game, just have fun" and then at the end said "hard luck man you guys did well."This impacted the other team because it made the other team feel better even though they lost. I also supported others when I encourages Manoj to go for a run himself cause he was good enough so i said "just try it would be cool if you scored."Today was a big success and i really enjoyed it and really enjoyed this term
