-My thoughts about active learning is that it was a good thing to start. Before people only did pe because they wanted an A. But now if you look people are having fun and enjoying or while sweating and trying instead of being forced to do it for an grade.
- Being fit and trying is important to me. I try to do my best on fitness days because i know it helps me long and short term. If I don't try I get a guilt feeling.
-I would give myself an A/G. I try to be a leader in class because I'm older and the grade 8's are new. I try to start up the activities too when there's nothing going on. I help with the clean up too and organize the teams sometimes.
Your Body and Health
My motivation to be fit is basketball. To be honest basketball is my life. I always want to improve and be better at the end of the day. I had an serious injury this term. I had an LCL sprain. It was really hard for me to step out and watch the class participate as well watching my teammates play basketball. I had determined to come back not the same but faster and stronger. I had 8.9 beep test which was already low for me . I usually get 10-11 in between. When I came back I had a beep test score of 10.9. For me that was exceptional., as I was coming off an knee sprain. This was really hard for me to come back to be honest. I had an injury last year to but that was my chest. This year it was my knee. When I did come to class, I really wanted to participate. So you told me I should go to the weight room or do the exercise which doesn't involve your knee. So I did participate with my knee at fitness days.
Attitude
My attitude towards any gym class is great in my view. I come prepared mentally and physically. I always have my pe strip. I always have the mentality to participate and try, I even focus on helping the younger kids . We were in this position last year and I got a lot of help from my grade 9 friends. I would also say I bring an positive attitude. I try to be enthusiastic when it's necessary and be serious when needed to.

Growing/Goals
I believe I am growing in most areas of my body, and physique. I am more active then last year, because I know what it takes to go to the next level in basketball. My goals that I have set were getting at least a 11 in the next beep test. I have gotten an 9 then 10 so I believe I am on my way. I also believe that one of my goals is to get better in basketball and my vertical. I have been practicing with my program I have for my vertical jump. And for basketball I'm on the school team. I play centre but now I want to transform into a guard which will higher my chances of going further.

Hey Gurkirat,
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be taking a mature approach in your write up to do what it takes to accomplish your training goals for basketball. I really like what you mentioned about 'feeling guilty' when having to sit out, that is a good thing.
I will say that from what I have seen that there is some room though for improvement in capitalizing on every rehab or training opportunity that comes up regardless of knee issue or not. Most days you would come to class for a large chunk of the semester dressed in street clothes with no intent to rehab or train. I mentioned it to you frequently but only a few times did you break away on your own and do it and I can't recall a time you initiated the process on your own. It is this kind of lack eagerness for opportunity to get better that slows the recovery process and forces you to be disengaged and feel 'out of it'.
I think its fair to say that a lack excellence consistently in the above mentioned areas would be hard to equate to being an 'A' which translates to maximal effort, participation and enthusiasm for any activity day in and day out. Like I mentioned earlier though, you do seem like a mature and insightful person and I think you can do some really good things and make an impact for others in the program and really could attain that level of excellence in the second semester.
