Since the school is currently online, there are no school teams or SAISA. However football is my passion and a sport I have been playing for years, so in order to stay fit and be able to retain my skills, I have to train individually. Every week I go to a field and do my usual football drill and practice shooting or use my backyard to practice my
kicks.
- Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth
- Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process
- Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience
-
Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences
1) Strength & Growth
I have been playing football for four years, and i have developed and mastered many skills over the course of those years. However there is still a lot of room for improvement as I would like to play for a university team in the future. As a midfielder I have pretty good dribbling skills and passes however am not as good at kicks. To improve my kicks power and aim I will be training regularly so that my skills are better for next year or (if schools opens) this years football season.
2) Challenge & Skills
To be able to achieve the goals and skills I will undertake a challenge to train regularly and follow a strict muscle and practical training. The drills I will use my in game performance and kick aim/strengths are;
- Competing for Goal
-
Turn and Shoot
- Kicking the KeeperWhich I will need an extra peer to help me with, however for more of the individual workouts, I will train my leg muscles, specifically hamstrings, quads, and calf muscles. I will use the following workout for the first two weeks and increase the reps and weights every 2 weeks.
3) Initiative & Planning
Due to covid-19, I am not able to meet up with a team or a big group of people to play football with. However I can meet up with 1-3 people so that we can do football drills together, practice shooting and dribbling. Therefore I can plan or initiate practice meet ups with a few people on the weekends so that we can train and do the drills that require a few people to be present. So this way the skills I learn from individual trainings can be put to test and improved as a play and get feedback from others.
4) Commitment & Perseverance
I have been playing football for four years and I have been committed to this sport for a long time, and I plan on continuing to do so. Even though there might not be a school team season or football clubs, I will continue training and and maintain perseverance. I will use the field close to my house and my backyard to do so.
