Interpersonal Skills

Week One

Entry 1 Today was our first session of soccer, I decided to take the roll as the referee for my team (Black team). In the first game we played me and Puru were communicating effectively by calling for the ball. Also all our team was communicating to each other about a game plan and how we could score goals.

Throughout the games i was supporting and encouraging others by saying "good work" and "nice try" etc. not only to my own team but also to the other teams.

Over all the soccer games we played I included others by passing the ball and encouraging them. Like when me and Josh were making a break down the field and we were passing it to each other.

Entry 2 Today I was communicating effectively with my team to decide who is going to play goalie and that we all got to play in different positions. Next time i can improve this in positive way by organising the postions before the game.

I was supporting and encouraging others by saying "nice save" to Harry as he stopped my team from scoring and resulted in a draw. Next time I can not only encourage Harry but also other members of the team.

I included others today by switching places with people, even though I don't like to play goalie I still swapped out with Puru to give him a run up front. Next time we can organise where we are going to play before the game starts.

Week Two

Entry 1 Today I communicated effectively with Caleb letting him know that I was going to be late to the soccer games as I had Whanau photos. I can improve this next time in a positive way by not going to the whanau photos.

I was supporting and encouraging others by when Puru missed a goal I encouraged him to keep trying and to not give up. I could try improve but not only saying positive things to my team but also others.

Today I included others by passing the ball though out the games and trying to set up goals for my team members like when I set up Puru for a goal and he was 1 off a hatrick. Next time I can improve by giving the other team the ball to start with.

Entry 2 Today I communicated effectively with Josh as he told me he was going to be late for PE due to him staying in class so that i could let the team know he will come later. Next time I will take over his roll in the team As the equipment manager.

I supported and encouraged others today by saying "better luck next time" if they missed a goal. Next time I can improve by not only encouraging people when they miss but also when they score a goal.

I included others by making sure I was letting everyone get involved, like when Puru was calling for the ball and he was in open space I passed it to him. Next time I can help to set up the field so we can get to playing the games faster.

Week Three

Entry 1 this lesson I communicated effectively with Lewis to start up a warm up drill. Next time I could improve by getting everyone's input for the drill.

I supported and encouraged others by saying "good luck" and "good goal" like when we based Dylan's team I congratulated him when he scored a goal. Next time I could improve by not only saying "good" but other words like great job etc.

i included others today by switching in and out of goal with people to let everyone have a fair turn on attack and defense, like me and Puru swapping out. I could improve this by helping to setup the soccer feild.

Entry 2 This lesson I communicated effectively with Manoj to see who was going to start with the ball first, we did this by playing paper, scissors, rock. next time I can communicate with others by seeing wos going to be away in my team.

I supported and encouraged others during the game, like when I said great shot Niko. I can improve this by saying positive things to a variety of people.

I included others today by passing the ball to others like when I passed to josh And he scored a goal.

Week Four

Entry 1 This lesson i communicated effectively with my team as alot of my team members were away, so they let me know they weren't going to be their so i could communicate with Josh to see what roles we will take e.g. Coach, Captian etc.

I supported and encouraged others during the game by congratulating the other teams no matter win or loss, like when i said good game to Niko when my team lost. Next time i can support others by giving them positive feed back.

I included others today by play as goalie for a large portion of the games, as previously i had been playing attacker alot. Next time i can included others by letting them in goalie aswell.

Entry 2 This lesson i communicated effectively with my teams captian and coach by making a game plan and it ended up being successful as we won 3 matches and draw 1. Next time i could include all my team in the making of the plan.

I supported an encouraged others today by helping set up the feilds. Next time i could help with collecting the gear after the game aswell.

I included others today by helping set up goals like when i was trying to set up a goal for Puru. Next time i could try help set up a goal for more people just than Puru.
