How does the activity address these learning outcomes
These activities help me realize what type of athlete I am: I am a flexible person with tone muscles and a petite bone structure, hence I can be fast in movements yet disadvantaged in exerting force when compared to other girls with greater bone structure and more massive muscles. By participating in these sports I understand that it is important for me to choose a sport that I will be good at and that my body can withstand, otherwise my body might become overworked. This concept also applies to everyday life as people should make decisions wisely. For example, if you are a person who is easily fatigued and cannot work for a long time, then you probably should not choose Undergrad degrees such as Nursing as your future career because you will not enjoy the following 50 years working at something that does not suit you. The activities also reinforce the idea that I should work on managing my time more wisely, as last minute intense workouts do not pay off.
This activity also emphasizes the importance of teamwork- having other individuals to work together can be motivating.
It also establishes a sense of perseverance and commitment in my activities because my involvement requires waking up early and endurance. Hence by attending the practices I am training myself to become a more determined individual.
