Interpersonal Skills: Supporting and encouraging others Giving and Receiving Feedback Communicating Effectively

Week One Entry 1

Today was our first time playing soccer outside, I was appointed coach of the blue team earlier in the week and the team all knew what our individual roles were so we could get started right away. In the first game I showed the interpersonal skill of communicating effectively when i shouted "Pass" to Caleb and he passed a through ball to me, which allowed me to pass to Lachie who scored. it is important to show this interpersonal skill because otherwise the team would not be able to work effectively.

In the second game I showed the interpersonal skill of supporting and encouraging ,when we scored a goal by congratulating the team by saying "Good Goal' or if someone made a mistake by saying " you'll get it next time". A Example of this is when Hunta (who was goalie ) missed a save in a game against the black team by saying "you'll save it next time".This was a good thing because it made them feel good about themselves and makes them play better.

Entry 2 10/03/15 Today was our second time playing soccer outside, I am Coach of the Blue team and Today we unfourtunately only had two players as Caleb and Lachie were at Futsal and Hunta was "Sick". I showed the Interpersonal skill of Communicating effectively when we convinced Mr Darkins and Matt to full in for our team for the day, this was important because otherwise we would not have been able to have a team.

I showed the interpersonal skill of supporting and encouraging and supporting others when I shouted out "we can do this" whenever we were losing a game (which was every game) this was important because otherwise we could have giving up trying and it improved the outlook on the game.

I showed the interpersonal skill of giving and receiving feedback when I had to choose the MVP of the other team, For when I chose Kyrill for the Orange team's MVP this was important because it commended the effort Kyrill put into the game and made him feel good about himself.

Week 2 Entry 1 11/03/15

Today we had our whole team at school and were able to win several games which was a more positive experience than yesterday. I am Coach of the Blue team and it is my responsablilty to warm the team up and get them ready for the game, I did this by setting up several drills. I believe this shows the interpersonal skill of Communicating effectively because i was able to tell the team how to do each drill and this meant that the team was properly warmed up before our first game.

I showed the interpersonal skill of supporting and encouraging when someone made a mistake and was dissapointed with themselves. A example of this was when a team member missed a shot a goal and I encouraged him by saying "you'll get it next time". this was important because it made them play better and improved the performence of the team overall.

I showed the interpersonal skill of giving and receiving feed back by saying something good about the team when they did something good. A example of this is when Hunta did a amazing lobb over the charging keepers head and scored, I gave feedback by saying "well done Hunta,awesome shot". This was important because it meant that the team was more positive.

Entry 2 Today was our fourth time playing soccer for PE, I showed the interpersonal skill by saying nice work when a good pass was made. I could improve this skill by giving feedback to the opposite team this would make everyone feel more positive about the game no matter the final result.

I aslo showed owed the interpersonal skill of encouraging and supporting others when I congratulated the other team on scouring a good goal. An example of this is when I said "good goal" to Niko when he scored agaisnt us.

I aslo showed the interpersonal skill of communicating effectivley when I shouted out for a teammate to pass.i showed this when I said "over" to Hunta and he then passed over Matts head.This was important became it let us play a better game.

Week Three

Entry 1 Today Was our 5th time playing soccer and we managed to have several wins today which boosted the attitude of the team today. I showed the Interpersonal skill of encouraging and supporting others when someone from my team missed a goal.An example is when Caleb's shot bounced off the goalpost and missed, I encoraged him by saying " unlucky Caleb you will get it next time". This was important because it meant that Caleb felt better about missing the goal, he then proceded to score straight away.

I also showed the interpersonal skill of giving and recieving feedback when Kane took a shot at goal from halfway and missed by about 20m, I gave him feedback by saying " Wait till we get a bit closer before we shoot" this helped the team because we would no longer give possesion away by taking random shots a goal.

I showed the interpersonal skill of comunicating effectively when i shouted "swap to Hunta who was in goal and we swaped position's. This was important because it allowed us to swap positions quickly and meant the game carried on quickly.

Entry 2 Today was our 6th time playing soccer and our second time playing in week 3, I am coach of the blue team. I showed the interpersonal skill of supporting and encouraging others when someone was feeling left out, I would swap positions so they could have a more active role in the game, I showed this when I swapped into goalie when no one else wanted to play there. I could improve this skill by making sure everyone has a go in each position since I am coach I could make sure at the start of the game that everyone knows which postions to which they will swap at certain points in the game.

I showed the interpersonal giving and receiving feedback when the team did something good when i would comment on what they did right and how they could imporve. A example of this is when Hunta did a good save in goal and I said "Good save Hunta but next time come out of the goal". This was important because it meant that the team was more positive, but he knew how he could improve.

I showed the interpersonal skill of communicating effectively, when there was a gap in the oppositions defense i wouldc shout to pass the ball trough the gap. An example of this was when Caleb made a break and drew 3 defenders in and there was a gap in the defense so I shouted "through" and he then passed the ball through the defenders to me.This was important because it maximised our oppourtunities during the game and allowed the team to play better.

This was important because it made the team ready to play in the first game.

This was important because it meant everyone knew what they were doing and were happy playing in their positions.
