Kia ora, Today was the first day of semester two. This year for semester two I have decided to join SCL ( sports academy ). My initial thoughts going into the subject was “it’s going to be awkward and a little bit uncomfortable“. I thought that the program was going to be a lot of work with the juniors of the school. I think that it’s important to have a positive SCL class because it makes it easier for everyone to be themselves.
Today we focused on learning about effective leaders, connections, teamwork and team culture. I learnt that effective leaders are confident, have great communication skills while being patient. Building strong connections is important because with strong connections comes trust and respect. Today we got into two circles and started to explain quick things about the teams we have been in, the type of coach we want to be and what sports we love or want to try. I really enjoyed this activity because I feel a lot more comfortable with my class.
This semester I hope to learn new coaching methods to help all kinds of people. I’m excited to get the opportunity to work with my peers and get to know other people better. I want to be able to contribute to my SCL class, I hope to be able to be more confident and easier for people to approach.
In conclusion I am looking forward to class and whatever it brings. I think that over time our class will become very close and will slowly become effective leaders for our school.
