Log 6: Family Tag

Log 6:

During the holidays I played tag with my family, I then demonstrated social responsibility by giving a high level of communication, fair play, being a role model and many more. I showed these responsibilities on the field by making sure the teams were even how did I do this? well is by making sure we had even numbers from the youngest to the oldest, a lot of my siblings wanted to stay in the same team but I said no because it isn't fair on the rest of them. So what I did was split from the youngest to the oldest for example my two younger brothers also my two youngest cousins I asked them what kind of sports they play and they all played touch & rugby so I split both my brothers and put them in different groups, also done the same thing to my cousins. I ended up doing that to the rest of my family members even the adults, at the same time I made sure they all had the same abilities as their opponents. Before the game started I set the rules for example Rule 1: The adults & teenagers can't tag the younger kids, Rule 2: if the younger kids score a try they get 2 points, Rule 3: Make sure all shirts are tucked in etc. I then explained all the rules to the younger kids about how to play tag and made sure I was clear about the rules too. For example: I said "This is a non tackle game, so if I see you tackling someone your off the field. On the 6th tag its hand over! 3 steps away from the person being tagged, No kicking, No forward passes, To start off, tap the ball on the ground etc" I asked them if they don't get it just tell me so I know, my niece came up to me said what do they do if they get tagged, So I said just place the ball on the ground then pick up your tag, put it on then roll the ball under your legs. I then showed her a demonstration just so she could understand more, She said "Thank you Aunty I know how to do it now!" This had a really good impact on my younger generation and myself because they look up to me as their role model and now they understand how to play tag. This is an example of me at level 4-5 social responsibility.

Log Five: Soccer game against Pukekohe

We had a soccer game yesterday against Pukekohe High school and during that game, I demonstrated Social responsibility by giving a high level of self-direction, communicates and I was honest with the rules. I showed these social responsibilities on the field, How? well by communicating with the girls, Every time the goalie from Pukekohe would kick the ball down the field, I could tell where she would kick the ball and I would yell at the girls to move towards that area and mark a person For example If the goalie would aim the ball towards her left side she would actually kick the ball with her right leg, Then I would quickly warn the girls and before then she kicks the ball, it's coming towards us. I told the girls as soon as they receive the ball to just kick the ball down the field towards our goal, which gave Wendy the opportunity to kick the ball into the goal. Also towards the ending of the first half of the game, Pukekohe girls kicked the ball to my hand so I raised my hand to the ref and told him that I handed the ball, he said "Thank you for the honesty because if it wasn't for your honesty I wouldn't have known" then I walked off and marked a person.

Then it came to the last half of the game, all the girls were tired including me which I know was a good thing because we all worked hard. So I brought the girls in for their last call just to help them keep their heads in the game and tell them that the games not over yet until the last hooter goes off. It was Pukekohe's kick off and they were taking their time so I yelled to the girls to move to them just to pressure them and it worked, me and Maddy had a little talk before the ball came towards us and Maddy was advising me to run down the field and receive the ball from the bottom of the field so I did. Maddy ended up kicking the ball towards me, and I managed to see a gap and kicked the ball in that gap which was in the middle of the goal post then Lexi ran towards the ball and kicked it into the goal. Working as a team and cooperating with each other is useful in games or situation like this because when you cooperate with each other you can hear their point of views and compare it to your point of view. This had a positive impact on my team because we ended up winning in the end and we ended up creating a great bond with the ref and also between ourselves. This is an example of me showing level 4 social responsibility.

Log Four: Ultra rip

After school Me and Wendy take the year 9 ultra rip girls for training, I demonstrated social responsibility by being a role model for the girls, Assisting the girls to reach a certain level and I coach them. I talk to the girls and ask them if they are familiar and confident with the rules, by that I mean I make sure they know what their doing. If they don't know what to do I talk to them and make them feel comfortable around each other,then I set the rules for them. Before training starts I set cones up for a activity just to warm them up, For example: For their fitness, I usually set up 4 cones just like what they do for the Illinois agility test, I explain the rules on how to do it like run up to the last cone, run back down then do zig zag's through the cones and back and then jump on the opposite side and run up to the last cone then back down. They got through it pretty quickly which was good, the aim of that drill was for me to see who would participate and at least try to do it. I was getting them prepared for their game, which was in a few days. A couple of the girls were thinking negatively and they weren't encouraging each other For example: During a short game of ultra two girls from the same team were getting frustrated at each other and started yelling nasty names, so I blew the whistle and stopped the game. "Run it in girls, NOW" I shouted and I said "What does a Team mean to yous? As a individual" I pointed to every single girl in their team and they all said "Team work, Participation, Being there for one another, Trust etc" but what I've noticed is that they haven't said communication, Supporting others or Encouraging each other which is the main thing about what a team is. "If there's no communication, or support or even encouragement then is that a team?" the girls said "No" I explained to them that a Team isn't based on winning or relying on 1 person a team is really about communication and encouraging your peers. "If yous know what a team is? why ain't you showing me that you know what it means?, now girls whats a team?" I shouted "Communication and encouraging others" the whole team shouted "Now show me what that looks like". They went back on to the field and started playing, Keisha knocked the ball on and Jamie yelled at her again but Keisha's team mates and Jamie's team told Jamie stop thinking negatively and It was just a game. This has a positive impact on my coaching because the girls learnt something and ended up showing me how to do it. This is an example of me showing level 5 social responsibility.

Log Three: Touch

Log Three:

During the game of touch I demonstrated Social responsibility by being positive, showing full co-operation, communicating and also being enthusiastic during our whole game. During our first half the girl's were struggling with our plays, so I asked if anyone wanted a sub. As soon as I jumped on I had a little group talk with them and told them just focus on having fun and enjoying the game, "Only the little wins matter girls" Wendy reminded them. We jumped back on with positive attitudes and smiles which I wanted to see. We ran through the play one more time because they felt more confident about it, we felt real good because it worked for the first time For example: I started off with the ball and called the plays "Sushi Biscuit 4" (Starter but on the 4th touch Bus) Khloe dumped the ball Wendy scooped dummies to Aeysha and passed to me, I ran few yards while Aeysha wrapped around me, I was suppose to pass her the ball but I dummied it to her and our opposite opponents fell for it, that's when I had the chance to score a try. After that, we all felt more confident and wanted to do more plays. It was good seeing the girls enjoying the game , so I jumped off and the girls were getting frustrated and annoyed at each other. After the first half was over,  I called the girls over and kept on telling them "Just have fun and enjoy the game, make it a fun game okay girls. Only the little wins matter" They jumped back on laughing, smiling and confident. I was cheering them on by Clapping, hyping them up on the side line. This had a positive impact on our touch team because we left with positive attitudes, hyped up and a lot of smiles. Our team was the only team that was odd, because we all were being goofy and Laughing a lot. This is an example of me at a Level 4 of Social responsibility.

Log Two: Whanau Day (Athletics)

Log Two:

I demonstrated Social responsibility during our Whanau day yesterday, there were a lot of different activities. The activity I really enjoyed was Tug of war, only because our Whanau really worked as a team. Winter really had a good solution For example: She would call "Ana" and our team will call "Hiii"(they would pull at the same time)but because Winter was at the back no one in front could hear her. Since I was in front where none of us could hear her, I helped her call it. This had a good impact on us because we all learnt how to work together as a team and communicate with others.

Another activity I enjoyed was the 100m sprints, only because one of our team mates were jogging, slowly giving up so what our Whanau did was run with them to give them more courage to keep going. For example: One of the girls were jogging and our team mates noticed her slowly giving up, so we all planned to jog with her and sing our chant at the same time. It helped her build her confidence and she picked up her speed, we all finished as a team. This had a positive impact on us because we made sure she didn't feel alone during the 100m sprints.This is a example of me showing level 4 social responsibility.

Log One: Modified Touch

Log One:

During our game of Modified touch, I demonstrated Social responsibility by taking charge of my team when they didn't know who to mark or what to do. I did this by matching up their own abilities with our opponents, I made sure that their abilities matched perfectly with the opponents For example: I asked David if he would be alright marking the fastest person on the opponents team, only because he was the fastest on our team. I also asked my team mates if they were alright with the people they were marking and they all agreed. Now it was game plan time, I communicated with my team mates to create a game plan. Me and David had the same game plan For example: If we were attacking I told my team mates to drag their player out while the rest of the team find open space, but if we were offense we would play man on man. We did lose our first game but it had a good impact on my team because we learnt from our mistakes. Every time we would lose our team would build more confidence in themselves and they would always learn from their own mistakes. This is an example of me at level 4 social responsibility.

Follow Through Phase

In the follow through phase I still need to contract certain segments. To make sure my shot is effective I need to contract smaller muscles in my arms. I can see from my execution phase that I am using my larger muscles first then my smaller muscles last.

While in the follow through phase the joints that are being used are my Shoulder joint and my Elbow joints. While moving from the execution phase to the follow through phase both my shoulder and elbow joints are working. The shoulder joint is extending, the agonist muscle contracting to make this movement is latissimus dorsi and the antagonist muscle relaxing in this movement is the Pectoralis Major. The elbow joint is continued to extend the agonist muscle contracting to make this movement is the Triceps and the antagonist muscle relaxing in this movement is the Biceps. The differences/Similarities I can see in my joints and the ideal are my hands are too close to each other and my arms are too far out.

In the following phase I am using Newtons Third law. Newtons Third law states  whenever a force is applied there is an equal and opposite reaction, because when I apply more force to my legs it goes right through my body and into the ball. The more force I produce in my body the further the ball's is going to be shot.

In the follow through phase balance and stability is still important to producing a well executed shot. To be balanced in this phase I need to make sure my balance is equal. I know I'm balanced because my centre of gravity is inside my body. The differences I can see in my balance and stability is my knees are flexing when they shouldn't be extended which means my balance isn't stabled as the ideal.
