This is why we started learning and perfecting our skills in the invasion game, handball. Since we were divided into groups, there were a number of interpersonal skills that I managed to develop and use in my group. Firstly, I used effective communication with my teammates so that we followed an orderly progression of skills and used class time effectively to finish all our work(Lesson 13 video). 

The next skill we demonstrated as a group was inclusiveness. Halfway through the unit, a group member(Leia) was added and we were able to effectively include her and fill her in on any missed work. Since Eedha, Pariyat and I had been working together, we already had a good working rapport but we tried our best to include her in our group (Lesson 9 video).

A skill I applied in my learning was giving/receiving feedback and feedforward. After our formative (Lesson 7) I realized that we should start giving each other feedback so that our skills would improve faster. This can be seen in many videos but one very good example is in Pariyat’s Recordings (Lesson 10 - 2:23) and Paloma’s Recordings ( Lesson 12 - 0:48). 

Additionally, I also demonstrated problem solving skills because in the few beginning videos (Lesson 6), the viewers are not able to see my execution because the camera angle is the same throughout and while moving I go out of frame. From the next to the last lesson, I constantly change my camera angle with almost every skill so that the viewers can clearly see which skill I’m executing and analyse my technique better (Lesson 13 video).

While executing all of these skills, we also always made sure to support and encourage others (Lesson 9 video 3:10 and 4:34). This was extremely important as it boosted team morale and kept us laughing and smiling throughout.

First, we decided which set of skills to practice and then went off our cameras to practice them independently. To execute the second practice, we put our cameras on and again before recording the third practice as evidence videos. Considering the availability of space and our limited equipment, we managed to adjust really well. Since the beginning there was always the danger of the ball breaking things in the room. For me, I had big windows in my room, so to prevent the ball from falling out I had to close them. I was at my grandparents house for lesson 3 and 5, so I didn’t have a ball and watched the others execute the skills, then practiced at home on getting a ball. This set me back slightly because I still had to adjust to the space constraint of my room, while the others were already practicing in their rooms. Nevertheless, I caught up quickly. We chose dribbling (low, pace-change), accuracy, jump shot, twist feint, throwing (overhead, chest, throw feint) and catching (Low, bounce, normal height) skills. All three skills(dribbling, throwing and catching) were very basic. To increase the difficulty level, and add a wider range of the skills and the knowledge of the sport in general, we added variations. Accuracy, jumpshot and twist feint were completely new to us and we spent time analysing them in videos before we executed. For accuracy, we performed a drill in which we would dribble the ball in a figure 8 around three objects placed in row. This helped us to gain more control over the ball when dribbling and know how to maneuver it strategically. The jumpshot required the most power, speed and strength in the hands and legs because it was a shot with a run up and a jump. This shot was tricky because we needed more space to execute it properly, but eventually we were all able to fix our form as best as we could in our rooms. The twist feint was slightly complicated because it required balance as well as precision while throwing the ball. Once we got the momentum, it was quite easy and we were able to execute it. As a group, we constantly gave each other feedback to know our weaknesses and strengths. Getting the feedback was our main form of improvement because it allowed us to better ourselves and fix our mistakes. ]]> 2021-05-27 03:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/palomajhingan2/rm8kmklnnwu51ieg/wish/1563842764 REFLECTION STRAND DIII palomajhingan2 https://padlet.com/palomajhingan2/rm8kmklnnwu51ieg/wish/1563842997 Each skill had a specific body posture and technique used. There was one base position I used, I stood on the balls of my feet with my feet shoulder width apart in ready position. My knees were slightly flexed and my back was extended. This position was used for dribbling , catching, jump shot, accuracy and twist feint. For the dribbling technique, I pushed the ball downwards using my fingertips, extending the shoulder and elbow, flexing the wrist and keeping my head up with the ball slightly out in front. For catching technique I extended my elbows so that the arms were at chest height, ready to catch the ball. On impact of the ball, I closed my fingers around the ball and flexed my elbows to bring it in towards my chest. For the jump shot technique, I extended my knees and transferred my body weight from low to high jumping upwards and raising one knee to a 90° angle. I pulled the throwing arm through toward the target, releasing the ball at the highest point of the jump and just in front of my head. For accuracy, I tried to keep the ball at a distance between myself and the objects as a technique to successfully complete the drill. For the twist feint I used my right arm and leg to act as if I was going to the right side, but then spun around and threw to the left. I think I have improved drastically from the first lesson onwards in all skills. My control over the ball and awareness of space has improved, which was needed in every single skill. Pointing out a few specific things, during accuracy drills I wasn’t able to finish even one figure 8 without losing the ball. Now, I can complete two with no problems. While catching the ball, it was difficult for me to anticipate the position of the ball, but with more practice I learned which angle of throwing makes the ball bounce on which side and how to catch it. At first, adjusting to space and learning to move the camera around so that everyone could see was a challenge, but in the end, I was able to remember which angle was best for which skill and turned the camera. The fitness components used to demonstrate each skill were: 
Dribbling: control, balance
Catching: perception, coordination 
Throwing: arm strength, aim
Accuracy: agility, control, balance
Jump shot: aim, muscular strength, coordination, control 
Twist feint: agility, aim, muscular strength, balance
Feedback from my peers gave me an objective view on the skills I wasn't performing well in, what I could practice and focus working on, and ways/tips that I could use to improve in the future. Continuous practice in every class and diligence/commitment to developing my skills and performance is the biggest reason for my improvement.
