Activity: Soccer Practice & Exercise

Hours: 7

Learning Outcomes: Working Collaboratively with Others

I have participated in multiple soccer practices (and one friendly game) at my school in the last quarter. I found soccer a bit difficult because of my lack of experience in the sport compared to others. I played soccer during the month of August, but at the end of August I got my ears pierced twice on each side. While I went to the majority of soccer practices, I missed a few. Soon after I got my ears pierced, I went on a school trip to Campamento Artigas, and when I got home I was sick. Then, my ears got very badly infected and I had to miss a day of school to go to the hospital to get them pulled out (and later I had to go back to get them checked to be sure they were fine, missing another soccer practice). At this point, I had missed over two weeks of soccer. I also didn't want my first practice back after missing a bunch to be a game, because I thought that would be kind of bad. Combined with the factor that I was not good at soccer and the time commitment was more than what I wanted (practice or a game three times a week, physical training once a week), I finally ended up not going any more. I'm not sure how many hours of soccer practice I did, so I'm saying seven hours, which is a low-ish estimate.
