basketball: I’ll be using a speech to text for this format so I can be able to more naturally reflect upon how this week went how that was a decent week it was a very tight game it was a loss we lost about four points however this was probably 1 of our better showings as a team I thought we kind of played well overall we had one of my friends come in to kind of help alleviate the load he was very helpful when it comes to just bringing in a very positive atmosphere as he is a very positive person himself my team was pretty easy going now I made sure that before the game started that I spoke to everyone about you know thanking them for coming for throughout the semester and just thanking them generally for for playing it was it was a blast and I was trying to be my best to be a leader and to give some positive pointers on the game basically just kind of forgetting about the previous play this focus on the new one if calls don’t go our way ignore them just keep pushing I was decent at following my own mantra That being said in the last minute we were minute and 1/2 we were down 4 points and where I thought we had room to win my team was not putting pressure on the ball and the universal lack of efforts I think on the team’s part kind of got to me at that point and I was very much invested but maybe overly so and um I did curse out out loud not at someone but just generally and that was a theme that’s kind of come up throughout this semester and it’s something that I’m going to have to get better at because it’s something that I personally do not value I think it has its place but I think in an intramural context I believe it is out of place so that’s been something I’m going to reflect on and find a way to become better at is just kind of keeping my cool especially as things become frustrating at the end of games

Volleyball: This was a fun week for volleyball playoff started we ended up playing our first game against the number one seeded team which was confusing for how rankings worked on our league because it’s not based off of record it’s based off a sportsmanship point system which is kind of confusing to everyone but regardless we played our first game we played well overall I think myself I played well I think that finally figured out the positioning and where I need to be on the floor I do make the mistake every once in a while no but I think there’s been a lot of growth in the aspects I was kind of worried about at the beginning of the year that being said I also need to be able to work on my approach as my physical like jumping approach as I think that is the my biggest weak spot when it comes to volleyball I was speaking last week I believe about potentially playing for a different team one of my friends he’s making a volleyball team and I would like to play with him and some of my other friends instead of the team I’m currently playing with and that’s caused a bit of conflict amongst myself and my current captain for volleyball now everything went over well in person we had no no issues however there was still a bit of negative energy kind of going into this volleyball I think I can understand where that energy comes from because I bring a similar energy when I play basketball I think I just hold a lot more importance to basketball than I do the volleyball as in that is folly is just my fun sport but I do need to be able to reflect and shift my perspective on how I carry myself and how I express myself towards the team as I know that it affects everyone around me but no I’m looking forward to potentially playing volleyball again next semester I know where I improved I know where I’m lacking and I am excited to be able to continue the journey
