Week One

Entry 1 Today was our first day outside playing football. First of all we had to communicate with others at the start of the lesson to organise who was playing what team and where they were playing. We did this by asking our teacher, he helped us to find our field and our opposing team. this demonstrates communication because we were not sure so we asked the teacher who helped us out. Next time I could communicate with other people more instead of the teacher.

Today when Dylan passed me the ball i encouraged him to run up the field so i could pass him the ball for him to shoot at goal. When Dylan got the goal i said "great job Dylan" and i high fived him. This shows encouragement and supporting others because i helped Dylan out by encouraging him and i supported him with saying "good job". Next time to improve my skills are to encourage my whole team instead of one person.

When we scored a goal today, the other team didnt think it was a goal so i negotiated with the referee and said "we will take it back for a penalty" therefore we have a chance of scoring and they have a chance of saving the goal. this demonstrates negotiating because i negotiated with the other team and i negotiated with the ref aswell. Next time to improve my skills I could negotiate with my team more.

Week Two

Entry 1 Today was our second day outside playing football. First of all, also today we had to communicate with other teams to find out whos playing who, When we found out who we were playing, i communicated with my team telling them where the best position would be for them to be in the game. I also communicated with them and told them to pass the ball to some people who were unmarked and it worked really well. This demonstrates communication effectively because we had to communicate well enough to figure out who we were playing in todays games and also when we were playing i communicated effectively to my team mates. Next time to improve my skills i could communicate with my team more about positioning.

Today when Harry didn't save a goal i said "Hard luck Hazza maybe next time", this shows supporting and encouragement towards my team mates. Also today I encouraged Levi to take the ball himself and try and score by himself, I encouraged him that he should believe in himself and go himself. When he scored i suppoted him by saying "good goal Levi". Next time to improve my skills i could support him through every goal let in.

Today i had to negotiate with my team and the other team because when they scored we said it went out before they scored, but we negotiated with the referee's and we agreed that it was a fair goal. When we scored and they said that it went out, we told them that we gave them the fair goal before and they agreed to let us have the goal. this shows negotiating with others is effective. Next time to improve my skills i could negotiate with my team first.

Entry 2

Today was our third day outside playing football. First of all we had to communicate to other teams to figure out who we were playing. When we started the game i Communicated with my team and told them where open space was where they could run into space with the ball, when they got to the space it opened another space where someone else could go etc, when our team had the ball i communicated with them and told them to pass long balls or short balls to our team. Next time to improve my skills i could make calls for our team.

When Matt wasn't in defense today i encouraged him to have a go upfront and try score some goals, i supported him with "good job Matt, almost". After i supported my team mates by helping them out with some problems they were having, Like who should they pass the ball to if everyone is marked, how should we tackle the opposition etc. this shows that i was supporting and encouraging others in my team. Next time to improve my skills i could encourage Matt to play anywhere he wants.

Today i had to negotiate with Matt about being the vice captain and about Hydration specialist and how he should be a team player and follow the position in the team he chose. We all negotiated with him and told him we will bring our own drink bottles if he fills them up for us and he said that he will do that. This shows the negotiation between our team is fair and everyone is a team player. Next time we should make someone else hydration specialist if Matt isnt being a team player.

Week Three

Entry 1 Today When we were playing outside i noticed that there was and open goal, so i called to Dylan to have a shot, but unfortunately he missed it. I communicated to him by saying "hard luck, we still can score a goal and win this thing". This showed communication through the whole team and then we scored and won the game. Next time to improve my skills i could call dylan and i could run up the field so that we wouldnt miss the goal.

It was up to Harry to stop this last goal in the final minute so we could win the match. Yuss, Harry did an amazing save to make us win the game. i said "great job Harry outstanding save, Guaranteed next Neuer", Also when Levi supported me on a run i made up the side line, it was down to me and Levi and the oppositions keeper, i ran up to the keeper and i passed to Levi and then Levi scored a really good goal. This shows the Support and encouragement which I displayed for the Team and The support from when Levi supported me. Next time to improve my skills i could pass the ball ealier to levi so levi could have one on one.

Today we had to negotiate with the opposition about a goal that was scored but we didnt know if it went in or not, We asked Harry about it but he said that he didnt know, I asked Levi the same thing and he didnt know and then i asked the rest of my team and they didnt know either. We eventually negotiated to a point where we gave them the goal because we thought it was a well scored goal. this shows the negotiation in our team today was fair. Next time to improve my skills i could negotiate with the ref first.

Entry 2

Today i Communicated with Dylan when he had the ball, i ran to the post of the goal and i called for it as i was running, Dylan passed me the ball, in mid air i some how karate kicked the ball into the goal which made us win the game. This shows good communication towards Dylan. Next time to improve my skills i could communicate with him to try and pass to a safer option.

Today we won 3 games and drew 1, i told my team that we had a great 4 soccer games today and that we should keep it up and we might end up on top of the table. Today i encouraged my team when we were losing 1-0, I encouraged Dylan and Levi to go up front and score some goals for us to win, I thought it must have been a good idea because we won our game 3-1. this shows encouragement and support today was good between me and my team. Next time to improve my skills i could try to encourage everyone to have a go upfront.

When we were winning 3-0 again Mr Darkins team our team decided just to have fun towards the end and we ended up beating them by 3 goals. i negotiated with harry about putting Levi and Dylan up front and harry said " you should be up there too because your good" and i said " i will be but not all the time" and we ended up negotiating that Dylan and Levi should go up front next week. Also Niko Had some outstanding games the last 3 weeks with some easy goals missed but not to worry next week we will win every game. Next time to improve my skills i could possibly not ankle tap Mr Darkins.

Week Four

Entry 1

Today we had our first football lesson of the week. Today i communicated with Harry for him to have a go upfront today because he is always in goal, I went in for him so he could have a turn running around. I started to communicate with my team to tell them where players were and who they should mark from defence because I could see everyone. This showed the communication used in this session. Next time to improve my skills i could communicate with harry and my team more.

Today i I encouraged niko to try and score some goals, it seemed to work well and he scored a goal for us, but then missed two others, but that doesn't matter because we won anyway. I supported Harry when he missed a few goals, I told him that we will save it next time. I supported niko when he missed the goal and told him please score the next one. This showed support and encouragement to my team. Next time to improve my skills i could support niko all the way.

today I had to negotiate about an amazing goal niko scored from a volley. The opposition said that it didn't go in but I said it did and so did all our team. So we negotiated about it and we accepted it because it Was a really good goal, I showed that when we negotiate well enough it can go your way. Next time to improve me skills i could Negotiate with the other team first.
