WEEK 1: 19/07/2012 today was our first game of soccer. i was given the leadership role of captain. i worked on giving and recieving feedback and feedforward throughout the game, i believe idid this quite effectively an example that proves this is was when our goalie let in a goal i pointed out his mistake and then said to him "dont worry about it, next time beter" i believe this increased his knowledge of the game and also boosted his self confidence. throughout the rest of the game not another goal was scored on our side. since it was the first game i did not communicate effectively enough to let the team know what they were meant to be doing and what positions were in this was pointed out to me as positive feedback so i could work on it next time, there were no conflicts throughout this first game of soccer therefor i could work harder on my two other inter-personal skills. overall our team did well we came 2nd overall, we achieved this by working as a team and each individual player knowing their roles.

20/07/2012 today we had perfect conditions for a good game of soccer. before the game even started i took up the responsibility of sorting out our new team member "Ben" to do this i had to support and encourage him to play as a team and for him to work on his three interpersonal skills, this support made him aware of the expectations and encouraged him. throughout the game i also had to solve the difficult problem of whether the opposition scored or didn't in the end our team gave them the benefit of the doubt and counted it as a goal. The flying dutchman's did well today and won three out of for game we did this by co-operating with one another and working as a team.

WEEK 2: 24/07/2012 today it was raining so the fields were closed, this forced us to play in a very different environment, the gym. with the decreased amount of space and wall rebounds giving and receiving feedback and feed forward was essential. i showed this today by giving calls to my team mates such as "finding space" this made it easier to work as a team and build unity among us. Each member of our team did very well today as we were communicating effectively and working as a team but i still believe that because of the lack of space it was hard to show these things at certain times.

25/07/2012 unfortunately it was raining again today this meant that there was a lack of space. Today our team could learn from our last game and work on finding space, As captain i was obligated to solve our main issue of who should be our goalie as none of us like that position. To solve thisproblem i only thought it was fair that our new team member Ben should go for the first game as all of us have already had our turn in some of the other games. Supporting each other was going to be key this lesson as we were the losing team, our heads dropped and that only results in the opposing team scoring more goals, I said positive comments to some team members in an atempt to make them feel better. something we could improve on for our next game could be passing and spreading out.

WEEK 3: 30/07/2012 Once again it was raining heavily today so we were forced to play volleyball in the "Big gym" with 80 other boys, due to the large numbers we were divided into teams which included year 9's and 10's. Because of the lack of skills displayed from the younger members of our teams i couldn't play competitively so i decided to really focus on my three interpersonal skills.throughout the game i was demonstrating the correct "dig" "set" and "spike" techniques this effectively showed my interpersonal skill giving feedback and feed forward. to make the game enjoyable for everyone i encouraged all other team members to have a go at different positions on the field although this did not effect the score i believe this demonstrated supporting and encouraging others.

31/07/2012 we were in the big gym again today, Mr Darkins our teacher decided today that we would do golden goal matches so it was crucial for our team to win if we wanted to have more game time. All of our team members were playing today and each individual displayed their interpersonal skills. i was giving feedback and forward to my team players so they knew what to do and so that there was no confusion amongst our team, I also recieved feedback and forward an example of this was when i had the ball but my back to my players brodie called "play midfeild" so i knew where to pass. i also demonstrated supporting others especially well today even on the sideline where me and Josh were cheering on our fellow class mate Stephen Curac thrughout he whole match. Fortunately know problems arose so i could not work on this interpersonal skill. Our team did well today and was rewarded with extra gametime.

WEEK4: 04/08/2012 Today in P.E i did not take on the leadership role of organising the team this showed i was not on task at the start of the period but once the game started the problem of who should be in goal was solved as i decided to be it for most of the period. This demonstrated my interpersonal skill of solving problems aswell, i enjoyed being goalie as i could look out at my team players and yell support like "well done Nico" when he cleared the ball when it was very close to the goal this showed my second interpersonal skill of supporting others. Throughout the game Brodie was injured this forced him to play goalie and push me into attack. An awful lot of our players were missing today and this left gaps in our defense, we lost most of our games and could not work well as a team. this will be something our team could work on next lesson.

10/08/2012 we were in the "big gym" again today so conditions did not effect our game, we were down a player from last weeks accident with Brodie so we had to work extra hard as a team if we wanted maximum game time as it was again golden goal rules, where once a goal gets scored the winning team can stay on. Our team did well to work with each other and there was a lot of support and good communication. As captain i took the role of organizing the players positions on the court so there was no confusion among one another. I was giving good support to other team members so their heads wouldn't drop and therefore lose confidence, i was also making commands to team members when they did not know what to do for example when our goalie had the ball and all our players were marked i called " just throw it up the courts" to get it out of the danger zone. Once again there were no problems so this interpersonal skill could not be used but i tried hard to try keep up to my role in the team and work hard on my other two interpersonal skills.
