From my childhood, I was engaged in playing soccer and played football for almost 10 years. It was the only sport I was passionate about and knew how to play properly. I started playing basketball with my friends as a fun activity. After some time I thought that it was time to learn and properly play basketball as it got more and more interesting. I switched my PS from football to basketball in starting of grade 12 and started my training with the school coaches. After some time I realized that I was fairly good at it and decided to put all my efforts to become better at it and learn as much as possible. From my childhood, I was highly engaged in outdoor activities and that was the reason it was never boring for me to learn new things. The learning outcomes that I covered were LO1 and LO7.

Learning outcome 1:-

I realized that I was good at basketball and there were many reasons behind it. This sport helped me to recognize my different strengths. My height played a major role in giving me an advantage as I could easily intercept air balls and also block the ball. Before playing this game I never recognized that height can be a strength. Coming from a sport that was highly intense “football”, I was used to that kind of gameplay and that also played a role of strength. I also recognized that I was physically fit to play the sport and that was another strength that I came across. The main strength that I have now is that I am capable of playing two different sports. Coming from football where the use of hands was prohibited, this sport was completely ironic as it involved most usage of hands compared to the footwork and this was where I struggled the most in order the develop the proper form for shooting.

Learning outcome 7:-

Playing a different sport and learning was a difficult task. Both sports had different ethics of conduct, related to body contact, style of playing, and integrity of the sport. Both sports had different sets of rules, and it was highly important to abide by the rules. I had to make sure that I don’t perform anything unethical. This made me realize the importance of ethics in sports. I made sure that I was following all the rules so that I could actually enjoy the game. I was able to achieve sportsmanship in the game and made sure that the integrity of the game does not get hampered. Overall I made sure that the ethics were maintained and I realized that ethics is important even in sports.
