In soccer my role in the team is one of the equipment organizers meaning that after i got changed i had to help set up the games. today I showed communicating effectively by calling for the ball to indicate I was free. communicating through out the team members helped me to perform better because we would know who was on our team and who to pass the ball to. I showed co-operating with other by resolving conflicts for example one person on the other team was saying that Cody was offside and I let the other team have the ball so as not to get involved and waste time. co operating with others was important because we are boys and we disagree allot. this had a positive effect on how I performed. I did not however support and encourage others in my team (as much as I should of) for example when Jared missed the goal I did not give him any encouragement or constructive criticism. This negatively influenced how I performed. next time we play I need to support and encourage my teammates more.

Today in soccer i played in a different team because they were short of a few players, this made communicating effectively more important because I did not who was on my team. I demonstrated communicating effectively by calling for the ball to indicate that free this positively influence how I contributed to the team. one of the interpersonal skills I could have improved on today is supporting and encouraging others I found that there was to much negative criticism in the games I did not help by giving bad comments about my teams performance for example when Cody missed the the goal I said "not again" this did not help the situation and negatively influence how I performed. the way I demonstrated co-operating with others was by being in a different team and having to co operate with different people for example when the ref was arguing about if the ball was to high over the goal I did not interfere with his decisions.

Today in soccer I communicated effectively with my team mates for example I called for the ball and got a goal. this had a positive impact on how I contributed to the team.Next time I will try to communicate effectively like i did today. however I did not support or encourage my team members enough for example when Tom missed the goal I did not give him any constructive criticism this negatively influenced my teams performance. next time I play I will support and encourage my team members more to boost their confidence and overall performance. I found that today I co operated with others and did not argue with them for example I was going to get into an argument with the the ref about being offside or not but I decided not to.this positively influenced how i played.

I also demonstrated Supporting and Encouraging others by giving my teammates constructive criticism like when Cody missed the goal I said "nice try, better luck next time". These types of comments help boosts our team spirit and positively affects how my team and I play. I also co-operated with others allot and did not get into many arguments about if one of my team mates were offside. next time we play I will try to demonstrate my interpersonal skills like I did today.

 * entry 4**

Today in soccer I communicated effectively and supported and encouraged my team mates but I did not co-operate with others well, for example I had an argument with someone on the other team because he said that one of our team members was offside I did not resolve this conflict and this had a negative influence on how I contributed to the teams performance because I was annoyed and angry. Next time we play soccer I will leave the conflicts to the ref and not argue with the other players. this will positively influence how I perform. I showed communicating effectively by calling for the ball when I was free this positively influence how I played. I demonstrated supporting and encouraging others by giving my teammates positive comments.

 * entry 5**

Today in soccer I tried to co-operate with others more than I did in the last game we played for example I did not interfere when the ball went over the goal I left it to the ref to do his job and deal with it properly. This showed that I was demonstration communicating with others well and this had an overall positive affect on how I played. Next time I will also try to not interfere with the refs decisions. I also positively demonstrated communicating with others by calling for the ball and telling people that other people were in space for example when Tom (goalie) had a goal kick I said "to Cody" indicating that he was free. This positively influenced our teams participation because we had possession off the ball allot more. Next time I will also try to use this skill. I also demonstrated the final interpersonal skill but not as much as I should have for example I did encourage people when they did something good, but I did not give them constructive criticism when they did something that wasn't so good like miss the goal. this negatively influenced how we performed. Next time I will support others when they do good and bad things to boost their confidence.
 * entry 6**

Today in soccer we only had halve of our team so it was hard to perform at my best. I didn't communicate effectively enough for example I didn't call for the ball and this had a negative influence on how I played and contributed to the team. Next time I will try to call for the ball more and this will positively influence how I contribute to the team. I did show co operating with others but not as much as I should have for example I was not happy when we kept losing because we had half our team so I did not co operate with others in one of the games. Next time when we have a full team I will try to co operate with other people in the other teams. The final inter personal skill (supporting and encouraging others) I did however demonstrate well for example when Tom missed the goal I said "nice try mate" this had a positive influence on how I contributed to the team because it made Tom stay confident and his confidence is important in our teams success as he is a good and valuable player for us. Next time I will supporting and encourage my teammates to get the most out of their participation. Today for my final day of soccer I wanted to display all of my interpersonal skills to a high slandered so we would finish positively. I showed communicating effectively by calling for the ball when I was free for example Cody had the ball and I yelled " Cody". i am open on the left. Another way I showed communicating effectively was was by telling people who had the ball that other people were free for example I yelled "to Tom" that there is open space in mid field. This positively influenced how I contributed to the team. I also showed supporting and encouraging others by giving my team constructive criticism good and bad things for example when Marcus got a goal I said "nice goal keep it up" likewise when he missed I said "better luck next time" this had a positive affect on how I contributed to the team and my teams overall moral. Finally I showed co-operating with others by not getting into any pointless arguments about someone being offside or not. For example our ref was having an argument and I stayed out of it. This had a positive influence on how I contributed to the team.
