Football End of Unit Reflection

Now that our football unit is finished it is time for us to reflect on our growth during the unit.  Please answer the following questions by replying to this post on my blog.  Make sure to use complete sentences, capitalization, and correct punctuation.  Your answers for each question must be two to three complete sentences not just one sentence.  I am looking to see some depth and thinking in your answers.

  1. Describe one to two football skills you wanted to work on or improve on going into the unit. Do you think you improved, stayed the same or got worse and why do you think that is?
  2. Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the football unit.
  3. With quarter 1 ending in a few weeks, what is one thing you can do going forward to make sure you are successful in PE? How do you think what you chose to work on will help you be successful in PE?

  1. Example of Meeting Grade Level Expectations:
    1. One skill I wanted to improve on during the football unit was my ability to catch a pass. I think that by the end of the unit I defiantly improved my pass catching skills because I was able to catch passes during scrimmages that before I would drop, I even scored a touchdown which I had never done before! I think I was able to improve because of all the pass catching drills Adon Brugman made us do and because my teammates actually threw me the ball during the scrimmages.

    2. One way I demonstrated good sportsmanship during the football unit was when the other team scored an amazing touchdown and I went and gave a high five to each person on the other team and told them what a good job they did.

    3. In order to be successful in PE going forward one thing I can work on is paying better attention to Adon Brugman when he is explaining something or giving directions. Sometimes I am talking to my friends and then when we start a drill or a game I don’t know what to do because I wasn’t listening to Adon Brugman.

    • 1. One thing that I wanted to improve on was passing. This year was the first year that I asked to be the quarterback and I think that I improved on throwing/passing because I was able to throw a few touchdowns. Another thing that I wanted to work on was catching. During the unit, I wanted to get better at catching and I think that I did get better because I caught many passes this unit and a few touchdowns.

      2. I demonstrated sportsmanship this unit by when a player on my team got the ball when they scored the touchdown I gave them a high-five and told them great job.

      3. Going forward in P.E I can work on trying to get the ball in any sport and trying to get more involved in the game because I want to be able to enjoy going the P.E even more than I already do and to make that happen I want to get more involved in the game.

      • Awesome, I love how you were so energetic while on the football field. Also, I think you definitely worked on playing better and I could see the improvement.

      • I think that you have definitely improved on catching and throwing because last year you didn’t want the ball at all and this year you got the ball a lot of times and scored a bunch of touchdowns!

    • I wanted to work on having a better sportsmanship during football games. I also wanted to work on throwing the ball far. I don’t think I got better on either because I had to sit out majority of the games due to knee pain.
      I believe I demonstrated good sportsmanship when I was watching the boys game and whenever they walked off the court I would give them a highfive and feedforward.
      I can stop talking when the teacher is talking and have a better sportsmanship towards my peers. That would help me because then I can here the rules and would be respected by my peers.

    • 1) One skill I wanted to work on was passing the ball. I think I got a lot better at passing the ball because whenever I throw the ball someone could catch the ball.
      2) I was always cheering for my team and the other team.
      3)I think I should try harder when I play sports I don’t like. I want to learn how to play the sport. I think I will have more fun if I know how to play the game.

  2. 1. I wanted to improve on passing not only to my friends, especially because hey might be able to get a touchdown and improved on that. 2. One way demonstrated good sportsmanship was by saying, great job to the other team when they score a touchdown or catching a pass. 3. One thing I can work on moving forward is by letting everybody be QB or center so they have a good time, not just me.

  3. 1.) I wanted to improve on my eyesight downfield when I was QB. I felt like I improved on that skill because I now can look at everybody while making sure no one is rushing me. Another thing I wanted to work on was my sportsmanship. I feel like I improved because when a teammate would drop the ball I would say “don’t worry, you will get it next time”.
    2.) I demonstrated good sportsmanship because I made sure everybody n the court got the ball. While I was QB if I saw someone open, I would pass to them regardless if they were good or bad.
    3.) One thing I want to work on moving forward is keeping my cool. sometimes when we lose because of a bad call or a mistake I get upset. I really do not want to do that in the next Quarter.

  4. 1. One skill I wanted to improve on was catching the football. At the start of the unit, no one wanted to pass to me. But closer to the end of the unit people started to pass to me and I got a lot better and I almost always caught the ball. I think I have improved a lot since the start of the unit because I started to get touchdowns during the games.

    2. One way I demonstrated good sportsmanship was when I was QB and the people missed the catch and got a turnover I just high fived them and we decided to keep on trying even though we were losing.

    3. In order to be successful in PE going forward, one thing I can work on is having a better growth mindset if I don’t catch an easy catch instead of getting frustrated I should just forget about it.

  5. For football I wanted to work on throwing and catching the ball better than I was. I think that I improved at this skill because people were throwing the ball to me and they were letting me be quarterback. One example of when I demonstrated good sportsmanship was when one of my friends was down I said hey it’s just for fun it was a game. Something I can do to make sure I am successful in P.E. is making sure that I am positive and I am able to learn from our units.

  6. I want to work on passing the ball and catching it because nobody really focused on me and ever passed it to me. I also want to make sure I understand what is going on and focus only a little more. I also think I improved on catching when we paracticed. My partner helped me and I started to get better. For a good example, when the other team got a touchdown I said “good job” and they took it as a gift. Another time is when my brother got hurt so people called me over to help and see if he is ok. He thought it was very nice of me to do this and he also thought that I was like a doctor or something! I think something that will make me more sucsessful in PE is that I like to work with people with a positive attitude and when people have a negetive attitude it makes other people have a negetive attitude.

  7. I wanted to work on being a better football player and be able to understand football better. I think I improved a little by practicing and watching others. I did not get the ball that much and I hope that I get passed to more and be a little more included the next time that I play football.
    I always let others have the ball and I try to pass to people who don’t get the ball that much.
    A way I will try to be successful in PE is to keep on passing and not just keeping the ball for myself. Another way I will try to be successful in PE is working on them so that I get better.

  8. 1. I think I got better at passing from drills and NOT scrimmages because most of the time I was playing I was open and QB was not passing to me and when they did pass I ether got a touch-down or I ran. I definitely improved at throwing because in scrimmages and drills I was throwing the best I could.

    2.One way I demonstrated good sportsmanship was when I did not get mad when the other team got a touchdown or when we did not

    3. I would like for people to pass to me in scrimmages.

  9. I wanted to work on catching a football in gym. I feel that with all of the passing and caching drills I accomplished this goal. I feel that I did good team work when we did the games. I feel I did good on this because I cheered for everyone not just my team and I was excited for people did something for the first time which helped me make more friends and have more fun. I feel I will be more successful in PE is if I can get passed to more. Which will help me feel like I can do good in games.

  10. 1. One thing I wanted to improve on is to not be upset if I don’t get the people that I want to be with. I think that I need to work on a little bit of sportsmanship or empathy because I get super happy sometimes if I win and upset if I lose or I get happy if I get a catch or touchdown. I think I am in the middle of improving because I did but I didn’t in the way of being happy for the other team if they lose in a good way but I get really excited if I win.

    2. One of the ways I demonstrated good sportsmanship was when I high fived or said good game to the other players when we got a win or loss. I think I could improve a little more on better sportsmanship.

    3. One thing I can work on is to not take my time while quarterback and use my quick-thinking skills so I can pass quickly but accurately. I think I will be more successful if I pass the ball with a spiral but with smarts.

    • I love how you owned up to things you are working on. I also get upset if my team is nor good. Also, you have really improved at your Quarterback skills. You have worked on your short passes which you love to use a lot. I am excited t play with you in basketball.

  11. I think over this unit I got better at catching the ball. Before I kept dropping the ball. I even taught my friend how to catch and throw better because adon brugman made us do drills. I caught a ball from someone all the way on the other side of the gym. I got a touch down! Watching other people play helped me understand how to catch the ball.

  12. One skill that I wanted to focus on was my defensive position because I wanted to get better at baiting the defense. I also wanted to work on my blocking because then I could get better at protecting the quarterback. I think I did well at defense because I got lots of interceptions but most of them were bad passes by the quarterback. I think I showed good sportsmanship because during a game whenever someone scored I said nice job. I think I could work on not paying so much attention to the teams because one game I got caught up on the teams and I got mad but after we kept playing I noticed they weren’t that bad.

  13. I wanted to work on catching longer passes. I think I improved on catching longer passes because I got thrown long passes. One time I demonstrated good sportsmen ship was when the other team got a game-winning TD I gave them high 5s. I think I need to listen to everything adon Brugman says how that will help me is I will know what to do

  14. I wanted to be better in passing I think I got better in football, in Israel we don’t play football so I think I got better.
    I got better in passing I think it is connected to basketball.
    I think I need to listen to adon brugman. it’s can help me to got better and to know what to do.

    • 1. One thing I get better is passing, anther thing is catching. My friends in my team help me to get better. In the next year I will try to get better too. I think I get better because it’s my first time and I’m effort in game, in Israel we don’t play football however I was get better.
      2. I believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship when my friend did touchdown I give to her/him high five and they give me too…
      3. In the next unit I will try to do better and will listen to Adon Brugman.
      I try to get better to have fun and to help to my friends when they needs help.
      In PE I feel I got better with a lot of things.

  15. #1 my football skills have improved because I have caught touchdown passes and be able to play as QB. one skill I could work on is by looking for some other players on the field and not passing to the same person all the time when I am a quarterback. I think I have improved because the other players have ben be able to catch touchdown passes.
    #2 I think one way I showed good sportsmanship is that I was never mad about losing a game.
    #3 I am looking forward to other units in the gym. also, the unit I am most looking forward to in the gym is the tournament of champions. I hope that the gym gets better and better more in the year.

    • I think that you have definatly gotten better at your growth for passing and throwing because your sportsmanship has gotten a lot better and your throwing range has expanded! Awesome job!

  16. 1. I think I’ve improved in football at all, after all, I’ve never played football before, it’s not Israeli sports, like basketball or soccer. However, I think I need to improve my perception skills well, say once, have told me, even if not the best in the world, still delivered and I could catch the ball, and I did not catch.
    2. Once my game was on a drinking break, and I came to a drinking facility first, but I saw someone who was really thirsty, because he was running and trying all the time, so I saw that he was more thirsty than me so I let him bypass me in the drinking facility.
    3. I will practice more in catching the ball or running; I will try to put more effort into the exercises before and try to do more exercises

  17. I think I should play more, too. I need more to attend and give and offer. I think even in that quarter from the beginning I got better at throwing and catching. I also try to intervene as much as possible and draw as much attention as possible. Not sure it works for me. I think I’m sporting by ninety percent of the games I give my team fun every touchdown

  18. 1. I as always wanted to work on my sportsmanship and just not taking the game too seriously. I think I didn’t improve because I didn’t work hard enough at it.
    2. I practiced good sportsmanship when one day after we got absolutely smoked in a game I didn’t get mad at anyone.
    3. Going forward I want to just be more aware of how my actions affect people and how they enjoy Gym Class. This won’t so much help me be successful but it will help my classmates be successful because they will have more fun playing football and in turn put in more effort.

  19. Describe one to two football skills you wanted to work on or improve on going into the unit. Do you think you improved, stayed the same or got worse and why do you think that is?
    I wanted to work on understanding how to play and actually doing a good job playing. I think I definitely improved because now I fully understand how to play football, I’ve scored many touchdowns, and I’ve caught the ball many times.
    Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the football unit.
    I complimented the other team when they got a touchdown, I complimented my team when they got a touchdown, and I made sure everyone was okay when they fell or got hurt.
    With quarter 1 ending in a few weeks, what is one thing you can do going forward to make sure you are successful in PE? How do you think what you chose to work on will help you be successful in PE?
    I will work harder, ask questions, and make sure I understand how to play. These will help me because if I work harder, then I will do well in PE, if I ask questions, then I will be able to understand the game, and if I understand how to play, then I will be able to put my all in the game.

  20. 1. I wanted to get better at throwing and catching. I think I definitely got better at throwing, most of the time my throws are spirals. I think I stayed the same regarding catching.
    2. I would be on the side lines and I was yelling to people that they were doing a good job.
    3. I just want to work hard, and be more positive. I also want to be more coordinated. I want to show better sportsmanship.

  21. 1.I Wanted to get better at passing and catching the ball. I think I got better at passing. Because my passing was more accurate. I don’t think I got that much better at catching and that has always been hard for me.
    2. One way I demonstrated good sportsmanship was by not getting to upset when I lost and saying good job to the other team.
    3.Next quarter I want to do better at warming up and doing the actives when I’m not playing. During quarter one I would not do them to my full ability and I want to do better.

  22. 1.Describe one to two football skills you wanted to work on or improve on going into the unit. Do you think you improved, stayed the same or got worse and why do you think that is?
    I wanted to work on my one handed catches and my “dot” throwing. I think I improved in my one handed catches because my 1 handed catch % got higher. I think my dots stayed.

    2.Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the football unit.
    A good example is when somebody dropped a pass and people were angry but I said it was OK

    3.With quarter 1 ending in a few weeks, what is one thing you can do going forward to make sure you are successful in PE? How do you think what you chose to work on will help you be successful in PE?
    I want to work on spreading the ball around and not being a ball hog. I think during the football unit I was not a QB hog. I should also try to include others better.

  23. 1) I wanted to improve on being less competitive while playing football with others because I am very very very competitive with sports, and also being less aggressive.
    2) I said good job even when they did not make the touch down.
    3) I think I want to be able to be less competitive and remember that I have a team with me to help me win.

  24. 1. Describe one to two football skills you wanted to work on or improve on going into the unit. Do you think you improved, stayed the same or got worse and why do you think that is? 1 of them is throwing. I think that I improved on it because my accuracy is better I think. And I think I can throw farther.
    2. Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the football unit. When I complemented someone, and when I told the other team, and my team good game.
    3. With quarter 1 ending in a few weeks, what is one thing you can do going forward to make sure you are successful in PE? How do you think what you chose to work on will help you be successful in PE? Keep trying my best. Because now I have a goal. And it’s a good goal in my opinion.

  25. I wanted to work on catching passes and throwing passes. I think that I improved at catching passes because if someone throws a ball at me I will probably attempt to catch it. I have stayed the same at throwing passes because I can do it but I am not the greatest at throwing distance.
    I am always very supportive of both teams and when someone from the other team gets a good catch I always congratulate them.
    I want to continue doing well in gym and trying my best. I also want to continue improving in sports.

  26. I wanted to work on my hands and my throw accuracy. I wanted to work on my hands because I can catch well but I want to catch low passes and high passes. I think I got better because I am making more catches high and low. I wanted to work on throwing accuracy because I couldn’t throw deep accurate balls. I think I got better because I can throw dots in flag football practices and if I’m quarterback then in games. 2. I demonstrated good sportsmanship when I should have got a touchdown and it was reversed and I didn’t yell. 3. I need to work on my sportsmanship. I want to stop yelling at my friends. This will help because sometimes I get heated and when I get heated I swear and say mean stuff to my friends.

  27. 1. I wanted to work on stronger throws because I usually see my throws falling short. I got better at this because of the drill that we kept on getting farther away from each other. I also worked on this during games urging my teammates to go farther and farther down the field.
    2. When someone threw an interception I didn’t yell at them, I said it’s okay you will do better next time.
    3. I want to work on having more sportsmanship because if the other team is winning I will get heated and start yelling. I chose this because this is one of the things you get graded on in gym. And I think I will get better at this by taking deep breaths whenever I get heated.

  28. I think my football skills have improved since last year because i got a lot better at throwing the ball correctly and, I have improved on working on some of the rules of football.

    One example of when I demonstrated good sportsmanship is when someone on my team got a touchdown or, did a good job on playing a round.

    I need to listen to directions more instead of talking because some of the time I was confused on what was going on.

  29. Describe one to two football skills you wanted to work on or improve on going into the unit.
    – I want to work on catching. I want to work on it because the ball always slips out of my hand whenever I get passed to. This causes problems because a lot of times we miss touchdowns because I dropped the ball.
    Do you think you improved, stayed the same or got worse and why do you think that is?
    -I think I improved on throwing because at the beginning I wasn’t doing very well as quarterback but now I have been throwing a lot of touchdown passes.
    Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the football unit.
    – A lot of times I would congradulate someone for getting a touchdown when they don’t get touchdowns a lot.
    With quarter 1 ending in a few weeks, what is one thing you can do going forward to make sure you are successful in PE?
    – I think I could sub out more because sometimes I really don’t want to go out and people go twice before I go once.
    How do you think what you chose to work on will help you be successful in PE?
    – I think it would make me a better teammate and thats basically what everything in PE is for, to make everyone better sports.

  30. I wanted to work on participating more at the start of the unit. I think I ended up putting a little more effort into the game, but I still had minimal opportunities to do things. One thing I was able to do was guard the person I needed to guard.

    I don’t think I really think I showed good sportsmanship, but I didn’t really show bad sportsmanship.

    I will try to not talk to my friend as much. I think this will help me in PE going forward because it will help me put more effort into things. It’ll also just help me participate in general.

  31. 1. I wanted to work on tolerating certain people. I think I improved. I think this because I do tolerate some people more now.
    2. I said that I was down instead of saying that it was a touchdown when I was really close to the end zone and I knew I was down even though people on my team got mad at me.
    3. Tolerate people. Certain people are harder to tolerate than others. I want to get better at that. This will help me to be more tolerant and therefore be more successful.

    • Ethan I like your honesty. However, the first question was about something you wanted to improve on in football not overall. I do like your answers though because I think all of us need to learn how to tolerate and work with people who may annoy us more.

  32. 1.I wanted to improve on punting by making it go farther and making sure my form was better. I feel that I did good at this and improved throughout the unit. I know I did this because instead of being in a slanted position while punting, I stood up more straight and this helped to make the ball go farther.
    2.I feel that I demonstrated good sportsmanship when someone on my team didn’t punt the ball too far, I still said something like “good job” to support and help them.
    3. To make sure I am successful in PE I will make sure to always put in my best effort and not compare my efforts to others because sometimes I do this. I need to remember that everyone is different and can do different things. I feel that this will help me to be successful because I will not be distracted looking at others effort rather than my own.

  33. 1. Describe one to two football skills you wanted to work on or improve on going into the unit. Do you think you improved, stayed the same or got worse and why do you think that is?
    I didn’t really wanna improve on anything because I’m not the biggest fan of sports but I think I stayed the same because I didn’t feel any better after the unit was over.
    2. Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the football unit.
    I did not feel like I demonstrated much during this unit because I didn’t really do anything.
    3. With quarter 1 ending in a few weeks, what is one thing you can do going forward to make sure you are successful in PE?
    How do you think what you chose to work on will help you be successful in PE?
    I don’t really feel that successful in PE. looking forward I’d probably participate a little more.

  34. 1. One skill I wanted to work on was throwing long distance. I think that it was to practice this because when we did half-court games I didn’t have to throw that far and when we did full court games I didn’t get to be quarterback, I barely even got to touch the ball. I think I got a little better, I can throw far, but most of the far throws I threw were intercepted so I need to work on throwing harder so it’s harder to intercept.
    2. I demonstrated good sportsmanship when someone missed a catch and I told them they did well and nice try. I also demonstrated good sportsmanship when someone’s pass was intercepted and I still said, “You did amazing sweetie! You’ll get it next time. Nice try!”
    3. In the future I can make sure that kids around me are not talking to me or in general. This will help because I will not be tempted to talk back to them. This will also help because I will be able to hear the instructions and so will they.

  35. 1. I wanted to work on being in an area to be able to catch the ball. I also wanted to be able to catch an interception. I have improved a little bit at catching the ball but I am not passed to that often so it is hard to improve. I also caught an interception so I definitely improved that. I think I got a little bit better at football because I actually try more this year.

    2. When we were playing a game at the beginning of the year, it was me and one other person vs. like five people, we lost but it was still fun and I congratulated them.

    3. I will make sure I am listening to the directions when they are being explained. I want to do this because sometimes I have to ask my friends about what we are doing. This will make me successful because I will actually know what we are doing.

  36. 1. I wanted to work on passing the ball and work on making sure I try my best. I feel like I got better at passing/throwing because I feel like I can throw farther now. I feel like I tried my best every time we played I some times was a little slow because I some times got mad because no won would pass me the ball some times.
    2. I believe I demonstrated good sportsmanship when ever someone scored a touchdown I would always say good job and went up to them and gave them a high five.
    3. I could improve in making sure I listen because some times I wouldn’t listen and I wouldn’t know what was going on. I also need to improve on make sure if I get frustrated to get a drink of water and take a breath.

  37. 1. During the football unit I wanted to get better at receive and play better defense. I wanted to get better at these things because I usually play QB, so I didn’t play these positions a lot. I think I got better because on defense I caught two interceptions. One of them was nearly a pick six. I also caught a lot of passes and even some touchdown passes.
    2. I think I showed good sportsmanship when people scored touchdowns, I would give them a high five, and clap for them.
    3. To do better in PE I will try not to get upset with myself when I make a mistake. I think this will help with PE because I won’t I can let the mistake I just made go and keep playing without worrying about it. This would help me have more fun when I am playing a game.
