Log 5- Kickball

Last Thursday during the tough and fast game of Kickball, I demonstrated the interpersonal skill, Effective communication. I accomplished this by using verbal and non-verbal communication with my team trying to figure out different ways to score a point or set up a better fielding line. We came up with ways such as finding open space, kicking the ball soft if there's no one in front and trying to rebound it off the wall so it drags players one way meaning you can run the other way. I also used non-verbal communication for defense. Non-verbal meaning hand signals such as spreading out, moving forward or moving towards the back.                            This impacted on my team positively as we were able to score more points but didn't end up winning but our fielding line was at a much better rate then when we started the game.

Log 4- Kick Ball

Last Thursday during the fast paced game of Kickball, I demonstrated the interpersonal skill, Cooperation. I accomplished this by working with my team who all had a common goal which was to get to the other side of the gym and back to score a point. This was demonstrated as we all communicated with each other, giving each other different feedback and effective ways to get to the other side. This impacted on the way our team were playing which meant we were able to score more points and win the game.

Log 3- Basketball

Last Friday during basketball, I demonstrated the interpersonal skill, giving and receiving feedback.            I was able to accomplish this by talking with my teammates helping or encouraging them whether it's jump forward when you shoot to allow more power for your shot or dribble or move with a single player instead of changing players to mark as this creates a stumble as players are confused as to where to go.                                                  This took a massive impact on my teammates as the basketball went in the net more often when I said jump forward when shooting or teammates were able to retrieve the ball better since it made the opponent harder to get passed as they couldn't pass quite easily.

Log 2- Obstacle Course

Last Thursday during the obstacle course I was able to demonstrate the interpersonal skill Supporting and encouraging others.                                                      I accomplished this by supporting my teammate to try and complete the course as we had to do it blindfolded. I had to support him through some tricky obstacles since he couldn't see. So I supported him by giving him a shoulder to hold while he tries to balance on the bench and by encouraging him to finish what he started. It was hard for him as he is tall so he struggled to go through the wooden stand.                   This impacted on my blind buddy as he was able to complete the obstacle course with just a little bump to the head passing our last obstacle. He did feel as if he could now overcome the obstacle course.

Log 1- Fast Ball

Last Friday during the game fast ball, I demonstrated the interpersonal skill, effective communication. I was able to accomplish this by communicating with my team, trying to find out better defensive strategies. I told them “run towards them to tag them which gives them a decreased chance of making it towards our base, instead of waiting for them to come towards you.” I also used hand signals to communicate with my teammates which means I demonstrated non-verbal communication. I used different hand signals such as moving up, coming back and rotation positions so people would get an equal chance of being defenders and offenders.                                 This impacted on my team positively, as defensive was at a much more higher standard which meant we were able to win the game.
