Personal Narrative: Cooperation In Basketball

1318 Words6 Pages

Training Lesson 1:
Cooperation: I used the interpersonal skill cooperation by still participating in the basketball lesson even though I forgot my PE gear and had to wear my uniform. This helped my team use the time better as we had everyone doing the drills so we had an even number of players. It also helped us bond as a team for our first training session. Next time I will continue to cooperate with my team so that we get more training in and so we continue to bond as a team. I will do this by bringing my gear to every practice and game. Fairplay: I used the interpersonal skill fair play by giving the ball to Laura because she hadn’t had a shot on goal even though I only had one and wanted to practice shooting some more. This benefitted my team as we all had turns shooting and this means that we will be stronger as a team when it comes to the playoffs. …show more content…

The benefit for my team was that we learnt more about the skills we needed to use to get better at basketball like passing and dribbling as a team and communicating more about where we were on the court. Next time I will continue to participate in the game by passing to my teammates and dribbling the ball to the other end of the court. Fairplay: I used the interpersonal skill fair play by telling the ref that I stepped without dribbling the ball even though the other team got a free pass because of it. Because of this, my team followed my example and we played a fair and clean game. Even when we were losing we played fair and I think that this made everyone feel better about the game when it was over. Next time I will continue to be a fair player by not getting mad if a call doesn’t go my way and instead knowing that the ref might’ve seen something that I hadn’t and knows what’s best for the

    If we want to win, we need to just go get the rebound, or go dive on the floor for a loose ball. It does not matter how; all that matters is that we need to just go get the ball. It is when the ball is in the air that the game plan goes out the window, and whoever wants the rebound more is going to succeed. This is why I love basketball, because when the game becomes close and it comes down to effort, I know that no one is going to outwork me for the ball. We could have played badly and not gotten any calls from the referees all game, but it doesn’t matter, because if the game is close at the end, one’s internal drive to accomplish what they want could still propel them to achieving

    My own body had failed me and I had failed the team. I 'm sure it didn 't seem like a big deal to anyone else but it was to me because I had faced this forward many a time and he had never flat out beaten me like that. It meant that if he could beat me then all the other offensive people on other teams could also beat me just as easy. After the game it was all I could think about.

    Just 2 minutes left the sun half way set, the crowd cheering and most of all the scouts not blinking paying attention to every detail, play and decision each one of us makes, I see the ball come off the rim and the other team grab the rebound and their other play already across the court just past half court I knew what I had to do. With no thought or anything I break out running across the court chasing their player knowing he was going for a fast break lay-up I knew I could catch there was no doubt about it but the question was would I block the ball or not I can feel the eyes staring at us curiously wonder what will happen. Just like I predicted I see his hand turn upside down getting ready to lay it up I take 2 more steps and leap as hard as I can towards the ball staring at the ball and nothing else all I cared about was saving my team from those 2 points and looking good on the court and on that stats sheets, that was a decision I would later pay for. I did what I had practice and done hundreds of times before at the park I swat my hand towards the ball as hard as I can, I hear when my hand hits it and it bounces off the backboard not thinking about my landing instead of preparing for the fall I prepare myself to start running back across court but that wouldn’t happen when I landed I felt a pop in my knee’s
