This miniature blog post is the eighth in my CAS series called Mini Blogs. In this little series, I will write some small blogs about CAS-related activities that I have completed, focusing mainly on only one learning outcome. The other learning outcomes related to each blog post will be briefly talked about at the end, with a short sentence about how that learning outcome was addressed with each activity.

LO1 Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth Students are able to see themselves as individuals with various abilities and skills, of which some are more developed than others.

I have been participating in coaching football (soccer) to many different age groups; 3 times a week. On Monday and Wednesday, I help coach the Girls Junior, the Under 8 Boys, the Under 10 boys, and the Under 14 boys teams. On Friday, I participate in playing football in the Girls Senior team, and I also help as an assistant coach if needed. I participate as an intern coach, and this semester in TAFA is one of the first time that our Head Coach Eddie has asked us to prepare and even carry out some sessions by ourselves. 

Other Learning Outcomes (Shortend):

LO2 Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process A new challenge may be an unfamiliar experience or an extension of an existing one. The newly acquired or developed skills may be shown through experiences that the student has not previously undertaken or through increased expertise in an established area.

LO4 Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences Students demonstrate regular involvement and active engagement in CAS.
