I have always liked to play badminton but I was not able to learn the sport, I practised it a few days a week for a month or 2 but I didn\u2019t learn much, I was never able to rally with someone and hardly it the shuttle coming towards me, so I decided to use this opportunity and take it up as my cas so that I would get to learn a new interesting sport, it is a bit easier than tennis due to the aerodynamics, I have wanted to play the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO 1 –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identify your own strengths and develop areas for personal growth.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

 I understood my skills, and my weaknesses and strategized my practice that focused more on a rally and lesser on service and smash as in those skills I was well versed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO 2 – <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I did many rally practices and services, and I did this to have control of the shuttle so that in a match I would have better mobility and movement making it difficult for the opposition to score a point on me, I practised the rally so I would be more accurate, I also learnt different types of service and hand styles like backhand and forehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO 3- <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I created a detailed plan to understand what skills I should focus on and what I should do <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to work mostly on rally and service and less on smash and spin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO 4-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

. Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences.
I had shown perseverance by working hard and continuously practising lawn tennis, I had been having a few rallies from different speeds so I would learn how to adapt to different speeds, I also served a lot to get perfect control on the shuttle, and I committed to learning badminton and practised a lot to refine my skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO 5-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been practising with 2 of my friends so we had collaboratively practised and explained my mistakes so that I would improve faster and even better, they explained to me my rally wasn\u2019t happening because I didn\u2019t have good agility and my aim wasn\u2019t landing correctly as my racket handling was also wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
