Fitness and working out were one of the weaker areas in my daily life, hence, I decided to teach myself to play basketball as a hobby. This ensured I had a new way to pass the time that benefitted my health as well as taught me a new skill. 

Learning Outcome 1- Identify your strengths and develop areas for growth 

While learning basketball all by myself, I was able to see my strengths and weaknesses and find areas where I needed to improve. While playing, I realsied areas where I lacked knowledge of the sport and used it as an opportunity to teach myself something new. As this was an interest of mine for a long time, I used it as an opportunity to participate in the sport and play basketball regularly 

​Learning Outcome 2: Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process

This sport was a new and unfamiliar activity for me. this acted as a personal challenge for me and I was determined to teach myself this new skill and grow slowly in the new hobby of mine. In the process, I was able to acquire new skills such as playing the sport and learning various new things about the sport. 

Learning Outcome 4: Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences

I played the sport regularly for a month. I played for sessions of an hour, this helped me devote time to the sport and excel in my hobby. Playing regularly also helped me maintain my goal of fitness and guided me in getting better after each session, to learn my weaknesses and strengths.
