WEEK 1 05/03/15

Today was our first period of football. I was givin the role of manager which means; if there was someone not there I would have to fill in and do their job for them, I have a part leadership role in ensuring the team is fulfilling there role and I also assist the coach which what he needs done. Today our whole team was there so I didn't need to fill in for anyone. at the start i helped the coach sort out the teams positions this comes under two interpersonal skills: solving problems and co-operating with others as we had to find out everyone's preference and where they would also play if they needed too, this impacted positivly on others as they were reassured they would be fairly shifted around the field. I showed communicating evectively through the period as I was giving my team mates some tips and telling them where to go and what to do in there position. I could improve all of these today by getting my team in a huddle and disscussing at once rather then telling each one little bits of information.

6/03/15

Today was my second period of football. I felt I was very lazy and "out of it" today as I had an awful sleep the night before, it was a boiling hot day with the sun shining bright and we only had three players. I still carried out my second interpersonal skills of solving problems when one of the players had forgotten to bring the balls out so i took it uopn myself to ask Mr Darkins if he could open up the gear shed for me. I didnt want to waste time and get someone else to do it so i decided that i would solve this problem and get it organised as quickly as i could. This made a positive impact on others to know they wouldnt have to worry to much about who is getting the gear. I can improve this by asking a class mate to help as it will get it done twice as fast which makes a positive impact as the games can start almost immediately. I also showed my skill of co-operating with others as I explaned how tired I was at my best today so we agreed that i could spend the first game in goal to get into the game which worked wonders as it woke me up and i was able to move forward this made a positive impact as i helped my team throughout the lesson. I showed my skill of communicating effectively when I was in goal I was talking to my teammates through out the game. This also made a positive impact as it ended up in a better, happier side, i could improve this by talking more and giving support when needed as well which would make a good impact as they then would know if they stuffed up they wouldn't get hated on.

Week Two

10/03/15 Today was another period of football. our equipment manager wasn't here again so I showed solving problems as I filled in and went and grabbed goal posts and balls from the shed, I also made sure at the start that my team had at least one ball to warm up with. This made a positive impact because it meant my team mates didnt have to worry about something that wasnt there role, i could improve this also by asking someone to help so it would get the job done quicker so gameplay could start. Heemi was back today so we had four players on our team, but our coach was a bit stuck up as he tried to tell me to not pass him the ball but as I showed co operating with others as I made sure Heemi continuously got the ball as I didn't want him Left out and in return he scored about 4 goals! this made a huge impact as he respected me much more and he knew that from then on it would never happen. I could improve this by actually having a word with the coach about how unfair it was of him to say that. I also showed communicating effectively by continuously talking to my team mates and calling. This made a positive impact as they always knew where i was if they needed me as a support player. I could improve this by when there is a break in gameplay going to my players and havimg a word with them on where i am.

13/03/15 Today was once again a boiling hot day and we were down to three players again, I also filled in the role of equipment manager as i helped Mr Darkins set up the field in his new layout. Because we had three players Mr Darkins played for us. Through the lesson i showed communicating effectively a lot as I was continuously talking to my team mates and disscussing tactics with the coach, this was a positive impact as it ended up in goals and wins for our team. I could improve this by disscussing with the whole team instead of just the coach so everyone knew the plan. I also showed solving problems and co operating with others when there was and argument on the field as I made them realize it was over nothing somwe could carry on. This impacted positivly as there was not another argument throughout thevday. I could have improved this by talking to tgere coach and also asking him to support his player and to stop him from getting into arguments.

Week Three

17/3/15 All of our players were here today which was a big change. At the start I was able to show my skill of communicating effectively as I made sure our team was on task with their jobs and what they were meant to be doing. This made a positive impact as it improved their focus. I could improve this by helping them somthey would take a more positive look at it. Throughout the lesson I showed co operating with others as when one of two of my team mates were arguing I made sure they forgot about it and carried on playing fairly, this imacted positivly as they carried on as friends for the rest of the lesson. I could improve this by talking to their coach and get him to understand he needed to support his players more this would impact positivly as there would be less arguments for both teams. At the end of the lesson I showed solving problems as my team had left to walk back to the changing rooms from the far field and even though it wasn't my job I took it into my own hands to pack it all up. this also made a positive impact as all the moaners and groaners were relieved as they did not have to do it. I could improve this by remembering at the end of every lesson to look at the back field to see if someone is grabbing the gear which would make a good impact on the class.

19/3/15 Today was a really good day, at the start i got to show communicating effectively by making sure my team mates were doing their jobs. This impacted positivly as the had a sense of seriousness, I could have improved this by helping them so there were no miserable team mates. then throughout the period i got to show solving problems when a ball was kicked in the creek No one would get it so i made the rule who ever kicks it gets it, this made a positive impact as there no longer were arguments over who gets the ball. I could have improved this by going and getting the ball when i made the rule so they knew i was serious and not just trying to get out of getting it. At the end i showed co operating with others by sorting who should get the poles at the end field. this was a positive impact as he willingly did it... Eventually. I could have improved this by going with him so he wouldn't be late and alone.

Week four

24/3/15 our team had a really good day today we won every game! I showed communicating effectivly by talking to our coach about tactics i then showed co operating with others as well by disscussing these tactics with the team, this positivly impacted as our team was on fire and no one could beat us. Icould have improved this by asking my team mates for their input so they knew they had a say in it. I showed solving problems when one of the other team players was not being nice to mine i then told him to sort it out and i had a word with our team mate not to care about him. this made a positive impact as he then played a nice, cool, calm, collective game scoring two goals! I could have improved this by talking to the other teams player involved so that he knew he did wrong and shouldnt do it again.

26/3/15 today is our last day of soccer for the four weeks our team had a shinig day again winning 3/4 games. I showed solving problems as in our first game we walked over with out a ball so i quickley ran and grabbed one, this made a positive impact as all the lazy players were comforted in know they didnt have to use all that energy to get the ball. I could improve this also as if i remember to grab one each lesson there will be no more worries. I showed communicating effectively by calling for the ball and giving encouragment to our team mates, this was a positive impact as it helped my teammates not to hate on them selves when the missed or stuffed something up. I could improve this by having a quiet positive word to them and good support so they knew it was ok if they made a mistak. I showed co operating with others by giving helpful feedback when needed. This made a positive impact as when i gave them feedback back they obviously took it in as they showed it on the field. I could have improved this by showing him what i meant in case he didnt quite understand.
