Throughout my studies and personal life, I have grown a passion and strong interest in helping other people through my empathetic personality and having a willingness to create a successful but comfortable environment. Alongside, my passion for helping and supporting others I feel that I am a strong, independent individual as I am quick thinking, and I always intend to strive towards the best possible outcome in all situations.

My passion for sport allows me to gain a range of attributes such as leadership, teamwork and determination. I have a particular interest in football, this is both watching and playing myself. I have played football since an early age up to current. I have been in a team setting this has allowed me to develop the ability to work alongside others as well as teamwork, initiative, and organisation skills. Also, throughout majority of the time that I have played football have been the captain for my team this allowed me to have the responsibility to take leadership of a group of people and make sure that everyone knows what their role in the team is and ensure that doing it properly. Also, as the captain I had to be open to listen to other thoughts and opinions on all situations and feedback the information collected to the coaches for them to act on to help the team.

I have recently completed a phase of work experience based in a primary school supporting with a PE teacher this allowed me to gain may valuable skills such a communication, leadership. This experience allowed me to improve my communication as it required me to speak to a range of different types of children with various needs. For example, one child found it hard to take part as they were shy, I used communication in this situation to encourage them to take part in the lesson. Also, reassuring them that they were able to take time out of the lesson if they need but strongly encouraging engagement in the lesson. An effective communication allowed me to support those needs of the children and allowed me to deliver clear instructions that enabled the children to be able to take part in the lessons safely whilst also enjoying it to encourage them to take part often. This would allow me to carry this skill forward as it is vital in being successful when carrying out work in forms of presentations and expressing my ideas around projects. When completing this work experience this also allowed me to build leadership skills as I had to help deliver lessons to a full class. For example, I delivered a basketball session this put me in a position to use leadership skills as I had to engage and control the children’s attention to allow them to learn the skills which I wanted them to gain during the lesson. I believe this experience allowed me to be more understanding with a diverse group and allowed me to be more open to the views and beliefs, this is vital as it opens opportunities to discover new experiences.

Also, a current module I am undertaking on my college course is sports massage. This involves researching the standards of practice, associated professionals alongside the

board associations in sports therapy. The course is primarily theory based where I learn all the different techniques that are applied in sports massage as well as the physiological benefits of using the appropriate techniques used on different areas of the body. This course also allows me to learn how to professionally carry out pre-treatment consultations and assessments to ensure the correct treatment is going to be given and gather any necessary medical information. I find that I have taken a keen interest to this module has it enables me to express my passion in helping athletes supporting their sports performance.

With my intentions to further my studies at university I believe the range of personality traits possess which includes determination, leadership, teamwork and initiative sets me in a positive position to drive myself to pursue the career I am most passionate about.

In football i use communication skills to inform my teammates about the situation around them as well as helping them to improve. This allows the team to work better together which means that we can be more successful in achieving goals. Communicating in football also allows teammates to learn off each when in a game as they can help in many different aspects when in a live game situation.

On my work experience i shadow a primary school Pe teacher. This means i help and support in delivering the lessons, this is helping to develop younger children in basic sports and understanding fundamental skills in a variety of sports. This is a voluntary activity that i commit myself to on Wednesdays and Fridays. During this experience i feel that it has helped me build confidence and patience. However i feel i need to build more confidence in delivering and speaking in front of people.

I use a reusable water bottle, this means that i use less plastic bottles that would eventually end up in landfill which is bad for the environment. This is beneficial for the environment as less harmful waste products are being emitted into the environment therefore this helps to prevent an increase in global warming activity.

In college we was in groups to deliver a badminton lesson , my group had to teach a back hand shot and there was 6 of us in the group. We all split with a couple of people on each court teaching techniques. We then came together to teach the whole group how to use the techniques in a game situation. We used teamwork well as we was able to spilt off and all knew what to teach and we all taught it the same way and same technique. In this situation we could have been more organised and had a structure for our session for it to be more effective and run smoothly.

In football games you have to work as a team to be able to be able to be successful and to score and win the game. We work as a team by communicating and then learning tactics so that each player knows what they team is going to play like. We communicate and share our thoughts on the way we play clearly to give new ideas on our way to play. We could have improved by speaking more on the pitch to give instructions to each other and change the way we play to be adaptable to each opposition.

It was a building activity with pipes , joining sections and flat surfaces to build various different structures. Worked as a team by people building different structures and all putting them together to create the overall structure. This worked well as we was able to complete each activity and to a relatively well good standard. We could have discussed all of our ideas to design a better chair to make it more stable.

When i was at work i have to communicate with all different type of people of all age groups . In this situation i have to communicate when I take food to the table and ask if they require anything else with their food . As part of the job i have learnt that it is essential to be patient and polite when dealing with customers as this provides them with a positive experience. However in these situations i could have been more confident to ensure that i offer the best experience to the customers.
