the number 1 strategy that I found had the best impact was consistency. if I shot 3 pointers for 5 mins a day I could really mark my improvement and find a trend. although I couldn't keep up with this strategy for all 12 weeks I tried my best and there was definitely signs of great improvement.

what relationships do you notice between your mindset, your effort level, and your outcomes across the project?

I am very passionate about basketball. basketball is a sport that I never thought I would be tall enough or good enough to play but now, thanks to basketball I have improved in lots of key skills. I have grown nearly 30cm since I have started playing basketball 4 years ago. although this doesn't mean I'm the tallest on the court. I needed to improve my 3 point accuracy as sometimes this is the only way I can help my team win. the feeling of being able to add something to a team and being an integral member is important to me as that way I feel part of a community.

if you were to design a new goal or project that builds on this learning what would it look like and why?

to build on the theme of bettering myself as a basketball player I would like to improve my vertical jump. this way I can also help out on defensive rebounds and be able to help with the buildup of counter attacks. I can also intercept higher passes that otherwise I wouldn't be able to reach.

Clearly articulate what you want to achieve.

What habits or actions will you take to develop your skill?

2. Start Applying:

I will begin shooting after school when I finish with my homework for 10-15 mins a day except for Wednesday as I have basketball training that day.

3. Collecting Evidence 

I will document my evidence by constantly making sure to update my padlet on both the positives and the negatives of my progress. I will also give match report on my performance and what I can build on for the next game

4. Judging

the way I plan on receiving feedback is by presenting proof and showing him my ability for he to analyse. based on their feedback I will mould my training and exercises based on what areas my buddy thinks I need to improve on.

What are 3-5 questions you can ask to help you with your skill development?(these might change or develop once you have started on your practising)

How can I achieve consistancy?

how can I improve my form?

what side of the 3 point line works best for me?

how can I build confidence in an in game scenario?

I think that the key element that I was demonstrating is actions steps to overcome a challenge or a goal. i showed this by identifying a challenging issue in my game and I began working on a way that i could better myself as a player.

How did the feedback from your accountability buddies help drive your learning throughout Task 2?

some feedback that really helped me was when Will told me that instead of focusing on making the 3 pointers consistently in a controlled environment that i should build the confidence and consistency in a real game scenario, with crowds and with the pressure. this way my accuracy will be better on and off the court.
