Personal sports is where we choose any of the sports we wish to learn and learn it in depth in the duration of a year. For my personal sports I choose Badminton. My goal was to first improve my physical health and second to sharpen my skills in badminton. During the PS we try to hone different skills and different abilities through different types of drills. Every slot was a new experience and learning for me. 

Learning Outcome 1 – Identify own strength and develop areas for growth:

During this activity I surely identified my own strengths and weaknesses. After knowing them it helped me work on them and even know what I am already good at. For every individual it is very important to know their own strengths and weaknesses. Because it helps youu work on yourself and also helps to sharpen your skills. At the same time also improves your self confidence as you know where you are good at already. During this activity I got to know that my endurance is very low and I need to work upon it and so I did. This was the weakness I really worked upon and now compared to what I had on the first day my endurance is way better. 

Learning Outcome 2 – Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process:

The most challenging part was to continuously run the whole time in a match. And this part was the most challenging due to my endurance being very low. I have played football before where I improved my endurance a lot but later on due to covid everything was stopped due to which endurance again went to zero. The only way to overcome this challenge is to workout daily in any form whether it be playing football or badminton or going for a run daily. I have started to work on it and have improved it as well. It is very important to undertake new challenges and overcome them so that we can improve on ourselves and know our limits as well. This is a skill which will help me everytime in my life and will surely improve my physical health as well. 

In all this was an activity which helped me work on my skills and sharpen them specifically focusing on my physical health. I have always wanted to be physically fit and hence this activity helped me a lot in working on my goal.
