Learning Outcomes:
LO1 – Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth:
Through this tournament, I recognized my strengths, such as strategic thinking and effective communication during team-based matches. At the same time, I identified areas for growth, including maintaining focus under pressure and improving decision-making speed. This self-awareness allowed me to target these aspects in subsequent practice sessions, making it a valuable learning opportunity.

Participating in a high-stakes environment was a significant challenge as I faced opponents with advanced skill levels. Overcoming these challenges required me to adapt quickly and learn new strategies during the tournament.

Learning Outcome 5 (LO5): Demonstrate the Skills and Recognize the Benefits of Working Collaboratively
The tournament emphasized the importance of teamwork. Our initial victory was achieved through effective collaboration and clear communication, with each team member bringing their unique skills and supporting one another. However, the subsequent losses highlighted that successful teamwork goes beyond communication—it requires adaptability and trust in each other’s abilities. During the losing streak, a lack of cohesion affected our performance. This experience reinforced the value of staying united as a team, even during challenges, and inspired us to work on strengthening our collaborative skills.
