Week 8 Active Living

During the past week I have played hockey, got into a fight and scored a goal. It was a good week.

On Monday I was in my last game as goalie for the month and I vowed to my team I would score a goal this game, I didn't play too well, I let in 5 goals on 20 shots or so, but I scored a goal! I pulled myself with about 2 minutes left to go, I hurried and took off all my gear and got on the floor, my linemate shot the puck and a beauty rebound landed right on my stick, my eyes lit up as I saw the entire 6x4 cage open for me to pocket my first goal as a goalie and I nailed it scoring the game tying goal with minutes left, of course to my teammates satisfaction I let in a brutal goal to end the game with them laughing at me and that was the end chapter of my floor hockey games for the month of June. of course slightly after the game I was steaming and the one guy who was in on 4 of the goals entered my personal bubble, and if you're a goalie you'll know personal bubble after letting in a softie is about 20 feet. I challenged him and won, well I believe I won. the ref broke it up before any real punches were landed, but I still feel I ended up on top.

That was the week of Ryan. #8

MMA #3

As the title suggests we had our third MMA field-trip, although it was my first time ever being inside of a Dojo if you will. It was fun, I had my ass handed to my by Drew wrestling and I learned a few techniques that I awkwardly could do. It was fun and I would love to see Goldie and his Gym again. It was a great experience and perfectly fit in for 16-18 year olds.

MMA Thoughts

Although I have never attended MMA in class before, I know some simple grappling and fighting techniques playing hockey and having my best friends brother being top 5 in BC in wrestling. I think it will be a tough exercise, and a fun experience that I can't wait to try out next week

Self Assessment

I have always put my best effort into physical education, when I'm there, and of course that is the key word. I struggle on some days when it is bright and sunny and the pollen seems to just find me, I can't do very much as my field of view becomes minimal due to the constant scratching and my riggers of dealing with allergies. I try to add contribution with the skills I have, like for instance I could take control of softball because I'm familiar with it, help guide students to proper positions, help pitch, and hit the only home run of the few days we played, and then when we play games I know i'm not familiar with or have a lesser amount of skill in, I go off in the shadows and do my part, but to a lesser degree. I always bring an up beat attitude to PE, I never try to bring people down, or force people to do things they don't want to. I will motivate my partner when we do the sit ups and push ups, and I expect the same back, pushing me to a goal I will thrive to achieve. I don't think I have ever pushed myself to physically do anything, I know my limits and with a small injury I have sustained I may not be able to push myself like I would have liked, I did however manage to get a high amount of push ups successfully completed in the time allotted, maybe not high for some, but for me I did very well. I think the best form of leadership is to understand weaknesses and advantages of some, and even if it wont be in the best interest of the group, as long as its the best percentage of victory, that is leadership.
I believe that while attending the PE class I deserve a B, but including all of my absences and lack of effort to running and the planks a C is fair in my eyes.
