 * __Interpersonal Skills__**

1.communicating effectively 2.supporting and encouraging others 3.including others

__**week 1 session 2**__


 * communicating effectively: Positive:** Today was the first lesson of the class soccer tournament my role in the team is being the captain I showed this when I called for the ball when I was open and put a pass through for an assist. this put a positive vibe to the team which was good when we scored in the last play of the game.


 * Supporting and encouraging others:** **positive**: Today I supported Vanamali when he did a good tackle that saved a certain goal tat gave the team a win against the black team. which lifted him and he did more and more good tackles.


 * Including others: positive:** today i was including others by passing the ball whenever they were open and called for the ball. this gave us a good boost of encouragement because the ball was aloud to be spread around more

I think can improve all three of my interpersonal skills by talking more clearly on the field, making sure that my players are being included, and that we are shifting the ball and looking for space. This would also include others in the game and give us a better chance of working well together.


 * __week 1 session 4__**


 * communicating effectively: positive:** Today I communicated with my team mates telling them to come back and help defend while they had possession of the ball. this was good for the team in defence because the whole team got back and then we counter attacked on the break.


 * supporting and encouraging others: positive:** Today I supported Ben when he ran the whole field and scored a goal for the team. I said " Well done ben, that was an awesome goal" this gave ben encouragement and he then scored another goal against the blue team of a similar fashion which benefited our team as we managed to win 1-0


 * Including others: negative:** Today I did not pass the ball as much as I should of next lesson I will pass the ball more and include the team which was bad for the team because the ball was not being passed which meant the attacks were poor.

I need to make sure that I am always including others and to not being greedy when I am passed the ball. I need to make sure that I am giving the ball to the player who is in the best position on the field. My communication is pretty good and I feel that I am organising my team well

__**week 1 session 5**__


 * Communicating** **effectively: positive:** Today I was calling for the back passes when I was goalkeeper and when i was in the field i was calling for the ball when I was open. I did this by telling Bailey for example that I am in support behind you when the defender rushed on him. this meant we had more time to clear the ball and keep control of the ball.


 * Supporting and encouraging others: positive:** Today i was lifting the team when we lost two games in a row and encouraging the boys to get one win. it was hard to lose as we only had 5 players which gave us a unfair advantage but that's how the rule are. I felt that I needed to support my players more today as we had a two man disadvantage so we needed to work harder together.


 * Including** **others: positive:** Today I was passing the ball a lot more then last lesson and was not hogging it. this was allowing creative football that meant we could attack better. We ended up scoring twice as many goals as we did in the last lesson and I feel that I played a big role in this by sharing the ball.

__**week 2 session 6**__


 * Communicating effectively: positive:** Today I was communicating with Ben by him telling me to put balls through for him because the defence was staying up high. this ensured we were playing in the right end of the ground and that ben new what our game plan was.


 * Supporting and encouraging others: positive:** Today I was encouraging both my team and the black team when they put a good ball through our scored a goal i would congratulate them. I felt it was important to praise the opposition when they were playing well as it is a socially responsible thing to do. we had a good even game which made it a lot more enjoyable.


 * Including others: Positive:** In this lesson I was playing well sharing the ball and ended up with a couple of assists and goals. this was good for the team cause it lifted the morale of the team to beat green by three goals.

__**week 2 session 7**__


 * Communicating effectively: Negative:** today it was really hot and I wasn't communicating as much as I normally do and I was getting frustrated easily. this was bad for the team cause i was passing the ball to the other team and was not playing to my full potential.

I supported my team by praising the players when they were working hard and making sure that their effort was being noticed.
 * Supporting** **and encouraging others: Positive:** Today I was supporting the team a lot because we couldn't score today so i was pushing the boys on trying to score.


 * Including others: positive:** Today I was passing the ball and including the boys more trying to make space so we could get a good shot off and have a chance of scoring. I managed to do this by giving the ball to jayten who had not had much involvement in the game as the ball did not come on his side of the field. so I made an effort to pass it to him when I got the ball and he was unmarked.

Blake, you have made a good start but you must add more detail to your reflections and in some you do not answer the questions at the top of the page. look back over your interpersonal skills and check that you have mentioned How you demonstrated each skill and why? then justify these with examples. You have been working very well practically and it is important that you put the same amount of effort into your written work.


 * week 3 session 2**


 * communicating effectively: positive**: Today i was communicating with my team by trying to lift us after losing a goal early to try bring us back and we did scoring straight back against the blue team and the team as a whole was defending really well today but just lost a goal to green but was quick enough to grab the bonus point to score 6 points today and keep us at the top.


 * Supporting effectively: positive:** today i was cheering the guys on to pass the ball and keep it down so it was easier to control so we would have a better chance of scoring and dribbling with more ease. My team are benefitting from my constant support and the confidence level is very high.


 * Including others: positive:** Today i was sharing the ball to include others when i was in midfield and i got an assist to set up jamie to score against the blue team to give us the draw. This inclusion made Jamie feel good about himself and was good for our team. I like to make sure that my team are being included as I feel that we work well together and I don't want anyone feeling left out.

I feel that I am demonstrating my interpersonal skills well and they are reflecting positively on my team. We are currently first overall in the competition.


 * week 3 session 3**


 * communicating effectively: positive:** today I used communicating effectively well when calling the boys back in defence so we could then defend the goal and then launch on the quick counter attack which we used well against blue to score and win the game.


 * Including others: positive**: On Monday I demonstrated my skill by telling the team i was going to play goalie and put lee as striker as i am captain and give lee a chance at scoring a goal which put a positive influence on him and he scored a goal.


 * Supporting and Encouraging others:positive**: I also demonstrated my i.p skill by supporting jamie when he score a goal i said to him well done as it was a good ball i also said good tackle to lee when he tackled kade and booted the ball away. this lifted the to do better and do it more often.


 * week 4 session 1**


 * communicating effectively: positive:** Today I used communicating effectively well when i was making runs and calling for the ball and telling my team mates where i was going to pass the ball so they could make runs and try chase down the ball this was good for the team because it meant the attack was more fluent and we could have a stronger attack.


 * Including others: positive:** Today i used my i.p skill of including others well when I told Vanamali to go in the midfield instead of always playing in the backs this gave him a chance to run more and play some more attack instead of always defending


 * Supporting and encouraging others: positive**: today I was supporting my team mates well when they did something right for example when jamie scored a really good goal i went up to him and said well done that was an awesome goal and when Vanamali did a good clearance i congratulated him this as good for the team because it lifted the morale of the squad and made us work a lot better together which is important in the success of a team.


 * week 4 session 3**


 * communicating effectively: positive:** Today I used my i.p skill well when playing football when i was communicating to my team mates by telling them what position they are going to play as I am captain. This made them understand their role for the day and they respected my decision as captain which was pleasing.


 * Including others: positive**: Today I was including my team mates by passing the ball fluently and including the rest of my team mates when they went getting a good chance i used this when Ben was playing back and he was open so I passed the ball to him which created a goal scoring opportunity.


 * supporting and encouraging others: positive:** Today I was supporting my team when lee made a mistake and I said "its okay lee" you are working hard, keep it up" this had a positive affect on him because it lifted his moral up and he continued to get into the game and he did not let our team down by not giving his all.
