After year 9 Outdoor learning program my ability of leadership and teamwork rose tremendously, and I was able to take my new found skills into real life and utilise these skills every day. Leadership has helped me in my sports, especially basketball because I can lead people and show them the right way to do things and to make play better as a group by leading them into our games and giving someone that they can rely on and trust during games and if they need someone to talk to if anything happens. Teamwork has also had a big impact on my life in more ways than just sport. In basketball it allowed me to work well with others and glue together. In school it has allowed me to work with people I don’t normally talk to.

I time in my life where I showed leadership was back at the start of the year in WABL grading against perry lakes, they are 2 half games and are very short. In this game we were down 9 with only 5 minutes remaining we need to come back otherwise we lose. We need are spark, I get us up and start yelling and getting hype, I go on and play d get some stops and easy layups we start coming back. It gets to the last 10 seconds we up by 1 and they need to foul, I get the ball and am fouled, I hit the 2 free throws to ice the game.

A time I showed teamwork was and camp when we had to cross a river on a kayak, and we got put into groups, so I was working with people I don’t normally work with. We ended up not crossing the river, but we all showed teamwork by having fun with each other and contributing ideas that we could try to cross the river. Having teamwork allows you to be flexible and change your ideas on the ball.
