Sample Answer:
1. I really liked the tournament of champions, it was cool to play all the sports we have already done units for. I think next year the unit should be longer and we should have more games.
2. I believe I did a decent job of practicing the healthy competition expectations. I always tried my best to encourage my teammates and also to give the other team props when they did well.
3. During the football portion of the tournament of champions I made sure to try and pass the ball to people on my team who do not always get passed to.
4. I need to try harder at the sports I do not like because I know PE is about getting exercise and having fun.
1. I really like the tournament I think the unit went well because pretty much all the teams were fair and everyone showed sportsmanship through the tournament I think next year you could maybe make the games longer.
2. I think this unit we showed healthy competition because my team always passed the ball to me even though i’m kind off bad at soccer and football. We also showed healthy competition because every time the team would score we would congratulate
them and not be mad if they won or they would not be mad if we won.
3. I think I showed healthy competition when I passed to my team members when I saw they were not getting passed to also when I did not get mad when the other team scored instead I congratulated them.
4. I think I can improve on is put forth my whole effort even if I don’t like the sport.
1 I loved playing in the tournament because I loved playing with a good and nice team.
2 I believe I did well because I try my best even when my chest was hurting. My team was doing good with sportsmanship and passing.
3 during football I did my best with what I know so i can help the team out.
4I have to learn to ask for the ball better.
I think this was fun because you can try again we more sports games that we did again.
I always cheered on others even if they were on a different team.
One of my friends made a basket and I gave here a high-5
I think I am doing good in gym.
1. Personally, I think the tournament went very well. It combined competitiveness and sportsmanship. The only thing that could’ve gone better was just having more days but that was only because of snow days and stuff like that.
2. I think I tried my best. I really have no idea how well I did at it. That would be something my team would have to tell me.
3. When we lost one game because of questionable causes I didn’t really complain I just forgot about it.
4. Just make sure I continue to make sure everybody’s having a good time.
This is not my first time doing a tournament of champions. I feel like the unit went well, people got along. I feel like I did a great job with healthy competition. I encouraged my teammates. I did pass to my teammates even though they aren’t as good as me. I already try my hardest.
1. I felt the same as every unit.
2. yes because I had a nice time playing.
3. I had a nice time playing the game
4. move a bit more
This unit I think went well but some improvements I think were to randomize the teams because some teams were more or less athletic than others. Second I think I used healthy competition because I would help my team and when the game was over I said good game to the other team. Third I demonstrated good sportsmanship when we lost a game but instead of being mad about it I congratulated the other team. I can improve on trying different positions in all games and try to improve on my skills
1. I think that what went well because I got passed to and I actually scored some points and I passed to people and they got some points so it went well. 2. The main purpose of doing healthy competition is so people don’t fight and get mad at each other.
3. I demonstrated the good sportsmanship by passing to everyone, not just the good people.
With this being the first time I tried something like the tournament of champions, how do you feel the unit went? Are there things I can do differently next year to improve the unit?
– I feel like it went good, one thing is that you mainly focused on one game and not looking at the other game as much.
The main purpose of this unit was to work on healthy competition, do you feel like you did a good job of practicing the healthy competition expectations? If your answer is yes, why? If your answer is no, why?
– I feel like I did a decent job but I could’ve improved on shaking things off like false fouls or people just ignoring my fouls.
Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the tournament of champions unit.
– I think I treated the opposing team with respect.
Going forward what is one thing you can do to improve your time in PE?
– Working harder to shake things off.
1. I really liked the Tournament of Champions, because we didn’t do any drills, which means that we had lots of time to just play games.
2. Mostly I think that I did good at having healthy competition until at the end of the unit I started to get a little over competitive.
3. I tried to calm someone down when they were arguing and getting a little over competitive.
4. Try to not to get over competitive.
I think that we had some big and some small problems with sportsmanship. I feel that I myself could have done a whole lot better with sportsmanship because it doesn’t happen just in gym but I’m getting pretty good at it.
I think that at some moments I did a good job but I did not make a good reason for congratulating people except I didn’t mean it that much I don’t think.
In the Basketball unit I think I showed good sportsmanship even though we lost. I still stood up for my team the whole time.
1. Yes, I think that maybe you could make the teams a little fairer. I understand that it’s kind of hard to balance the teams since there are 3 sports. But, it kind of lowers the team morale when you lose by 70 points.
2. To be honest not really. Most of the time when we were losing I could find myself blaming my teammates and not even thinking about myself.
3. Giving my teammates a high-five or saying nice job, when they got a touchdown, basket, or a goal.
4. Maybe not getting so angry when we lose by a lot, and understanding that it’s just a game.
1. I think that this unit was ok. I had a big bump at the end but other than that I think it was fun and engaging. I think you can make it have more games and no reflection.
2. The first two thirds until the soccer part. I lost the first 2 games and I lost my temper in the third. I also did not pass to everyone.
3. The first game. This is because I did not get mad even though they were winning and my team didn’t let me do anything. I said a good job when they got a touchdown.
4. I think I can improve on sportsmanship. I always get to mad when a game does not go my way and I take it out on other people.
I think that the unit was not good because lots of people were getting very competitive and making a big deal about it. It was also not good because some people were getting hurt. I think that I did a good job of healthy competition because I was passing and shaking others hand and not really arguing. One time I was a good sport was when I was passing and giving props. I think that we should not do this next year because some people got hurt.
1.I think the unit was fun in the way that we were motivated to play(most of the time) because there was a prize if we had good sporstmanship and did good! I also like sports so it was fun and I was motivated by that! Maybe next time even though I wasn’t here, you could make all the games only one day or make them last 3 days but do it in the style , like with soccer so that we can take a break each day from a team if we got tired of them or are being too competitive. Also, sometimes the girls didn’t get the ball passed to them and I get it cant be fairly equal but maybe you could watch a little more to make sure the game is a little more fair.
2.I feel like for the most part I did healthy competition because I was a good sport if we lost or I said good job to teammates or even opponents, even if they didn’t make a basket or something like that. I feel though sometimes I wasn’t the best sport because some people on my team were not being fair or other teams were not being fair and it made me upset, especially in basketball because I understand basketball the most. Next time I want to be a better sport and not get annoyed about the small stuff.
3.I think I demonstrated good sportsmanship when one of my teammates didn’t make a basket and someone else was being rude about it,I just said “nice try” or something like this.
4.Maybe I can make sure not to talk while someone else is talking because once in a while, I feel like I do that.
I think that the unit went well. My team went 7 and 2.
I think that I did a good job. I passed to everybody.
When somebody scored I said good job and high-fived them.
I can take it less seriously
1. What I liked about this unit is that we didn’t do the warm up and had more time to play. I think that this unit will be better if you switch the teams every time we switch sports and if you see that people are passing to the same people tell them to pass to the other teammates (like the girls).
2. I feel like I did an okay job at doing sportsmanship because I was competitive but if someone was not passing to someone on my team or on the other team I would tell them to pass to that person. Another thing I did well is telling both teams good job and things like that.
3. One time the other team wouldn’t pass too someone on their team so I yelled at them to pass to that person.
4. One thing that I can improve on is not getting mad (in my head)if my team does not win.
With this being the first time I tried something like the tournament of champions, how do you feel the unit went? Are there things I can do differently next year to improve the unit?
I felt the unit went well because without the warm-ups we were all more energized. I think you could do volleyball before the tournament so it covers more of a variety of everyone’s preferences for sports and what a lot of people are good.
The main purpose of this unit was to work on healthy competition, Do you feel like you did a good job of practicing healthy competition expectations? If your answer is yes, why? If your answer is no, why?
I think yes because I cheered on my team and was kind when others were harsh.
Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the tournament of champions unit.
When I had to switch teams and I didn’t put up a fight about it and I was kind about it.
Going forward what is one thing you can do to improve your time in PE? Try my absolute hardest on everything.

Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the tournament of champions unit.
Going forward what is one thing you can do to improve your time in PE?
I demonstrated good sportsmanship when I gave a team member a highfive when they scored.
1. I liked how the unit went but I would like if we changed teams because it became repetitive with who won and who lost.
2. Yes. I didn’t get that mad but I still need to work on that.
3. I congratulate someone if they make a shot even if they are on the other team.
4. Not get so mad at people when they mess up.
I feel the unit went alright. I think this unit should be improved next year by using different teams than when we played basketball, soccer, and football.
I think I did a good job of healthy competition because I was always bringing my teammates and the other team’s player up rather than down.
Even though Rebecca was on the opposing team I cheered her on every single time she made a basket.
I feel I don’t I need to improve.
1. I really liked the unit. I liked how we kept the same teams. I don’t think you need to change anything.
2. I think I demonstrated good sportsmanship because I was cheering on my team and the other team most of the time when they scored to.
3. I demonstrated good sportsmanship when I cheered for my team and others and passed to others on my team so they would get a chance to really play.
4.I feel like I don’t need to improve in PE.
Tournament of Champions Reflection
1. I liked the basketball part of the unit because I like basketball. I don’t think I could do anything different. I feel the same way as I always do with every unit.
2. Yes, because I feel that I always try to be nice and supportive. I try to cheer for everyone when they catch a ball, or make a hoop.
3. (shown above)
4. I feel like I don’t need to improve. I try to do the same things every class.
1. I liked the unit overall. It was fun. I also liked how we were going to play three sports. Next time, the teams could be more fair.
2. I think I did because I said “nice job” when someone scored, even if they weren’t on my team.
3. I said good job.
4. Don’t talk when the teacher is talking.
I think the unit went well, but maybe next time because we already did some of these sports and I know that some of us have other sports we would like to try in mind, maybe the tournament could instead be of different sports that we haven’t already done.
I think I did because I’m aware that it is just a game and when someone did something really good, I wanted to cheer them on.
Sometimes I was put on teams with 7th graders, who I don’t really see as much, and I got a chance to talk to them more and cheer them on.
I will try to make sure that everyone has a chance to catch the ball or hit the ball instead of only focusing on myself.
With this being the first time I tried something like the tournament of champions, how do you feel the unit went? Are there things I can do differently next year to improve the unit?
I feel that the unit went well. I don’t think you should change much next time maybe you can try doing some other sports.
The main purpose of this unit was to work on healthy competition, do you feel like you did a good job of practicing the healthy competition expectations? If your answer is yes, why? If your answer is no, why?
yes because I never got mad when I lost. I even cheered for some people on the other teams sometimes.
Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the tournament of champions unit.
Going forward what is one thing you can do to improve your time in PE?
I high-fived someone when they one got a basket. I don’t think I can do anything to improve in pe.
1) I thought this unit went very well because I was always subbing in.
2) Yes because I always told everyone they did a good job even if they failed.
3) When I subbed in.
4)Not forgetting my uniform as much.
1. I think the unit went well. I felt that it was really fun that we played a bunch of sports and worked as a team. One thing I would change for next time is that I would make the teams fairer because it ended up that 2 teams dominated the whole tournament. I would try to even up the teams so it is more fun for everyone else.
2. I think I did a great job of demonstrating good sportsmanship. Whenever someone on my team or the other team scored, I cheered them on and gave them a high five.
3. One time, someone scored a bunch of points in a row and I gave them a compliment and a high five.
4. I feel like I could try to include my teammates more.
1. I really liked this. I thought it was really fun and I liked having the same team every time because it strengthened our team
2. I think I did a pretty good job. I was always cheering for my team and other teams.
3. I cheered for people who weren’t on my team if they were doing a good job.
4. I feel I can try even more then I do now even though I don’t like sports
I liked the tournament of champions, it was really fun, I felt like it should be longer. I do feel like I had a healthy competition. When I congratulate my team when we won. Don’t be so competitive.

The main purpose of this unit was to work on healthy competition, do you feel like you did a good job of practicing the healthy competition expectations? If your answer is yes, why? If your answer is no, why? Yes I feel this way because sometimes after I lose I am upset for a small time post competition but after the competition of champions I was not angry if I didn’t do well.
Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the tournament of champions unit. I congratulated a team that beat me.
Going forward what is one thing you can do to improve your time in PE? I will keep doing what I am doing and maybe cheer up teammates that mess up or fail.
1 I think that the tournament went really well and it was fun but it could have been bigger and better and more sports maybe or maybe not if you have enough time
2 I think that every time I was in a game no matter who it was everyone was nice and that was fun
3 when I was playing against any team i always said good job and have fun etc…

3)Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the tournament of champions unit.
I cheered on my friend Hanna even though she was on the other team because she was not getting passed the ball that much.
4)Going forward what is one thing you can do to improve your time in PE?
I don’t want to improve anything
1. I liked the unit. Even though I liked some of the games better than others, I would still always try my best. Next year, maybe there can be more games we play, but we don’t play the same one 3 times in a row. We’d play them in a a random order, so it doesn’t get boring.
2. I feel like I did a good job at cheering on my teammates no matter what. Even if they made me go out every other 5 minutes, while they only went out once in the whole game, I would still go out.
3. I cheered my teammate on when they tried to shoot a basket, but missed. I told them that they did a good job and the only thing that matters is they tried.
4. I can keep cheering on my team and being kind.
1) I really liked this unit because the way it was set up we had to get along with our teammates. I don’t think that you need to improve this unit.
2) I did a good job because I was having fun. I also encouraged my team and the team that I was playing against. I gave everyone high fives and said good game at the end.
3) I said good game at the end of the game and I gave everyone highfives. I think I am doing a good job and I don’t have to improve.
With this being the first time I tried something like the tournament of champions, how do you feel the unit went?
I think it went pretty well. I did enjoy being on the same team each time. I liked going into the game knowing who my team-mates were gonna be. No one got to competitive and everyone really just focused on having fun, not competition. (which is what I stand for)
Are there things I can do differently next year to improve the unit?
Maybe instead of doing each sport for such a long amount of time, we do more sports for maybe a shorter amount of time. So maybe we only do basketball for 2 classes so we can move on to the next sport soon enough.
The main purpose of this unit was to work on healthy competition, do you feel like you did a good job of practicing the healthy competition expectations? If your answer is yes, why? If your answer is no, why?
Yes, personally I have never cared to much about winning or losing, just if I had fun and if I gave it my all and tried my hardest.
Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the tournament of champions
unit.
When I tell my teammates good job or cheer them on when they are playing.
Going forward what is one thing you can do to improve your time in PE?
Always make sure I am trying my hardest, giving all the effort I can to be the best teammate I can possibly be.
1) I think the unit went well I got the balls a lot and everyone was very supportive of each other. I think that next year differently you can even out the number of class mates for each team.
2) I think I did an good job on being a healthy competition participant. I think I did because I was a good supporter when others were playing.
3) I believe I demonstrated good sports when I told Sarah and phia that they were doing a good job.
4)Nothing.
With this being the first time I tried something like the tournament of champions, how do you feel the unit went?
I feel the unit went well.
Are there things I can do differently next year to improve the unit?
I will try harder and I will try not to talk as much.
The main purpose of this unit was to work on healthy competition, do you feel like you did a good job of practicing the healthy competition expectations? If your answer is yes, why? If your answer is no, why?
Yes, because I didn’t fight with anybody that much.
Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the tournament of champions unit.
Going forward what is one thing you can do to improve your time in PE?
I talked with the other team and we didn’t act like enemies, we acted like friends
