Hockey - Reflection

This year I have taken on the role of Teacher in charge of Hockey.



So far this has been a very busy role - co-ordinating trials, team allocations, new uniforms, inter-school tournaments and the upcoming AIMs Games.

I have observed dealings with several parents and have now had to deal with these myself - It has been a fantastic opportunity for me to learn from those who are experienced in this area. I have also been required to deal with student behaviour and team motivation/collaboration issues. This has been new territory for me as management within the classroom is quite different.

I envisage this Hockey season to be a very busy one however, I have already gained a lot of valuable experience by taking on this role and I know I will continue to do so.
