Another Week, Another Point :D

Week 5 

This weak was a good workout for the me and the club. First let's start with the club. From the last week's change to the format, this week's games were even across the board. I believe this is an indication of effectiveness of team making, not forgetting about the 1st 3 week's data collection process. 

 

The format is the same one, because it was easier to used the template which I have constructed last week. 

All the data has been updated through excel and word processing. I have learn those skills from previous years in ICT classes which are very handy when it comes to data analysis.(Thanks Mr.Bailey and of course Vlad :D)

Behind the scene

Now I want to show you some of the data processing I have done in my worksheet. 

Formulas such as SUM function and IF function are used to automatize the calculating process. In this case the member's score will be added together and then using the IF function I can sort them accordingly for the High score.

Here is how the program calculate the points for win/tie/lose. The "I" column is hidden usually, because it is not necessity to show the column but it is essential to the calculation. 

 In conclusion, I want to discuss about my personal growth in playing basketball. From last week's 2 points to this weeks 6 points, I have improved in my accuracy, but not by myself alone. Before this week started, I asked my teammate and good friend Johnny on some tips. He told be that the long shots are not for me, at least for now. I should shoot close range, near basket shoots. Lay ups would be good as well if there is a gap in defense. Following those tips I scored more, but there is still a long road ahead of me. Now I should focus on my strengths in basketball and look for potential places that I can grow, of course never forgetting to collaborate with teammates and pass as often and as accurate as possible. 

 My goal for next week is to score 8 to 10 points for my team. As for the Club, I will add a section on my worksheet to accumulate the weekly points to a table. 

 At last, a few food for thought: the road to passionate life starts from doing what your are interested as often as possible and still be able to continue.How do you imagine your passionate life?  

Basketball Team Games!

The new format

By observing the quality of the games, member's skill level and people's feedback, I came to a conclusion that the format of games should be changed. Instead of having training session, I felt that shooting and passing practices are not in demand, and by forcing it would result in members leaving. Due to this possible issue I have reoriented the club to a game focused one. 

 My plan was to make 3 fixed teams, each being approximately equal in strength,so they could compete every week toward a championship title or something along those lines. About time management, I though it would be good to have 4 sections of 3 games, allowing each team to play two each section. Between sections there would be a interlude period, when players can drink water and rest a little bit. 

  

 This is first 3 week's personal shoot statistics. 

Even though this is more professional, but I feel that our club can't accurately record this, because for accuracy one person should be dedicated to do that. Nevertheless, this is good evidence of personal skill level of each player which I have incorporated in team making process. 

The Week 4 games 

Last weeks games went accordingly to my plan. Most members were happy with the new team, but like any collective of human beings there were some complains, mainly focused on refereeing. On this problem I would try to assign few people, who have potentials to referee as just as possible or ask some teachers. 

This is the final product which has been put up on the wall. For the layout I got the inspiration from the football club.(Thanks guys!)

I have accordingly filled in the colours for each team and added an overall high score for all the members.(Right side). 

Overall, this was a exciting experience and I felt more confidence into it because of past experiences gained throughout first 3 weeks running the club. 

I still have many things to improve on, such as my own skills (I only scored one, very disappointed) and mastering the the new routine. 

I believe I have achieved:

• Increased Awareness of strengths and areas for growth: through analyzing club members' performance and making the new teams.
• Undertaking new challenges: by experimenting with the new team and calibrating from incoming feedback.
• Planned and initiated activities: by planning the new teams and putting them to use.
• Working collaboratively with others: through listening to feedback and involving others to refereeing, time keeping and score writing tasks.
• Showing perseverance and commitment: I have listened to feedback and have attended the club regularly, even disregarding my opportunity to play the game. 
• Developing new skills: I learn how to make displays and manage the club at the basic level.
