__ Week 1 lesson 1 __

__**10/3/2015**__

today was our first day of pe, as it was our first lesson we started out by asking which position each one of us are good at and what we weren't as good at. someone of us were good at striker or defense, we tried different positions regardless of our strengths /weaknesses. as we weren't all good at all the positions i supported and encouraged others so they would get disappointed.i didn't laugh or embarrass my teammates when they missed a pass or shot at goal. we did drills based on our weaknesses such as passing and shooting, i could have suggested we also did drills to improve our already good skills.

__**Week 1 lesson 2**__

i communicated effectively by recommending drills and warm ups that we could do to improve our current football skill, i made sure to listen to my teams ideas and come to an agreement with the couch and he decided what we should do to prepare us for the following games against our rival teams games.i made sure to encourage both my team and the other team by not yelling at my team for losing the ball, missing the ball or missing a pass.Even if the other team scored a goal i cheered the other team on and reassured my own to make sure that they continued to play their best.i co operated with other by calling for the ball, telling them when there was " a man on" and just all around communicating with my team taking about positions and so forth.i made sure to ask my team who i thought would be worthy of MVP and asking them if they felt the same way.

__**week 2 lesson 1**__

today we tried different drills to improve our skills in certain areas such as passing, shooting and tackling, i communicated effectively by asking how the drills work and how they were performed, i made sure i was involved and stayed on the task at hand. i supported others when we were changing positions and moving everyone all over the field to give everyone a chance to play where they wanted.i ask if people wanted to go striker or stay around mid or even stay back in goal or defence, i moved accordingly. because we were trying out new positions there was always a role we weren't very good at and wouldn't do as good as our other positions or even other teammates, i made sure to make all my team feel like they are contributing somehow, even it was only field presents it was helpful, we tried to help each other by giving helpful feedback and ways to improve.

__**week 2 lesson 2**__

today my team ( team yellow) started off warming up by practicing our shooting so when we do get in a game we have a slightly higher chance of scoring, we had one person stand in goal and the others took turns shooting. we communicated effectively by calling for the ball and passing to each other in order to get a better angle to shoot.i could have taken the time to give my team feedback and told them what I though they did well and what they could improve.none of always got all of our shots on target and even if some were they had the potential to be saved by the keeper... i made sure to encourage my teammates and makes sure they continued to try there best and focus on shooting,i made sure not to laugh or put them down for missing or being stopped by the keeper.i could have given them feedback on which he could improve on.when we were in the games i co-operated with others by reminding them to pass the ball to players in space for a better angle to shoot and remind them of the drills we practice

__**week 3 lesson 1**__

today we had a bit of conflict with a opposing team, we disagreed on a goal and a penalty. i communicated effectively by asking our referee to talk with theirs an make a decision,because they couldn't come to an agreement we decided to just take a goal against us and continue playing the game.i supported and encouraged others by not letting my team get discouraged we had a goal against us that may or may not have been earned.i co-operated with others to get the game moving again and we continued to play the game and ended up coming out with a draw.next time i will try and decide what to do faster ; make a suggestion to the couch or referee that we could just take the goal.

__**week 3 lesson 2**__

today we were down a player (Wilson) and we only had 4 of us present, i made sure to communicate effectively and work out a way of playing with less people. with less people we had to communicate even more than usual to rotate and keep in the games. because we had less players i made sure to encourage my team and make sure they still were trying as if we had all people here and gave it their best shot.with less players we had a weaker deference/offence so when we lost the ball we all made sure to encourage and support our team.I Co operated with others by recommending ways we could play to get the best result of the situation.

__**week 4 lesson 1**__

today we finally had a full team and were able to perform at our full potential, because we had all players we all communicated effectively by making our own individual call outs to inform other teammates of the oppositions position, weither they were play offensive or defense etc. i supported and encouraged my teamates along with the opposing team. i cheered them on when the scored a goal or made a good play and even if they missed.i co-operated with others by calling for the ball and calling to my team telling them helpful information.

__**week 4 lesson 2**__ today we had a three hour science exam, during our normal period we only had 12 or so people out of our entire class. because we had so little we didn't have enough to have our normal games with each individual teams and have multiple games.i communicated effectively by helping sort teams and ways we could play.i encouraged others to still play even though their teammates weren't presents and would be playing for another team.i co operated with others by recommending how we could both set up fields and how we could play them based on the amount of people, i also took into consideration their ideas and we all decided accordingly.i could have asked everyone instead of just the coaches but ill do it next time.
