“ Success is isn’t given. It’s earned. On the track, on the field, in the gym. With blood, sweat and the occasional tears.”
The 27th of october 2017 was the most tiring day ever because we had athletics. Athletics is where you challenge yourself and not other people,. It is where you try to be the best the you can be and push yourself to the limit.
Athletics has lots of different activities. E.g Shot put, Discus, Sprints, Long Distance Run, High Jump, long jump and voltex.
The first thing we did was rest/play. While we were resting/playing we watched others to see what they did to be good. We also cheered people on and encouraged them to keep on trying.
Then we moved on to Discus I think I did really well to get a gold and it was only my first time. I had to learn how to hold the discus before I threw so I threw it in the right direction. I think I got better at throwing the Discus further and beating my last throw because I took the teacher's advice. The teacher’s advice was to bend your knees more and try to throw straight and then you will get a better and longer throw. My next steps for Discus would be put more power into my throw by bending my knees more.
Next we had sprints. Sprints is not one of my best skills but I tried. I scored a bronze because I was mucking around and not trying my best. I need to work on not getting distracted when the teacher is giving our instructions and listening to the teacher when she says who is running next, also not being picky with who I run with and not trying to beat other people a just focusing on myself.
Straight after that we had more running but this time it was long distance running. I came third and I got a silver, I tried my best I got tired along the way but I kept pushing myself to do my best. At the end I was very proud of myself because I did not stop throughout the whole run. I think I could work on trying to pace myself, that means I go the same pace until the end so that I don’t get so tired after.
Then we got into some jumping activities. Our first one was high jump. I’m not a big fan of high jump because it’s hard, but I still gave it a go. I made it over the first one and then I didn’t want to do it anymore, so I sat down not distracting anyone else but I was encouraging them to keep trying and giving them helpful advice that could help the to improve their next jump. I think I could work on trying to give it a go and not just trying out the little bar but setting a new record of how high I can jump over the bar and not how high anyone else can jump.
Our next jumping activity was long jump. Most of us got bronze . I found out that they measure from where your heel lands not where the top of your foot lands. I think I could work on trying to get a better run up, learning how to time my jump and jumping right at the top of the red mat.
Now for my favorite activity of all voltex. I think I did really well in voltex I got a gold. I learned how to throw a voltex when I was 9 and then I just got better and better when I kept trying. I think I did really well because of my stance and because I throw it straight and not too high. I think I could work on not wasting all my power in the practice throw and just throwing it softly and then when we have the real throw I could try to throw as hard as I could.
Now for our last Activity shot put. I think I did alright for my first time ever throwing a shot put. I got a silver for shot put. I Think I could work on getting people to teach me how to hold the shot put and how to throw the shot put.
Throughout that whole day it think I did really well because I gave everything a go, but I did not try my hardest on everything and that is one thing I want to work on.
