This year, SAISA Boys Basketball is hosted at our school OSC, and I have decided to try out for it. The tournament takes place from the 16th to the 18th of March, and the practices start from the 31st of January.

Before starting the practices, I have set the goals which I hope to be able to achieve by the end of this season:

  • To undertake the challenge of trying out for SAISA basketball for the first time
  • To increase the awareness of my strength and areas of growth in terms of basketball as well as my behaviors
  • To work collaboratively with the team members to perform at our best quality possible
  • To show perseverance and commitment by going for EVERY practice
  • To develop new/enhance my basketball skills and others, such as leadership qualities
  • To undertake the challenge to be the starting member (preferably a point guard) of the team
  • To show a good sportsmanship in basketball

Although it is the last semester of IB and the schedules are very tight with various assignments and exams, I hope to achieve a balance between academics and outside activities, and this is one opportunity to do so. Therefore I hope to achieve as many of my goals as possible by the end of this exciting tournament! I will be giving updates regularly and reflect on how I’m going towards achieving the goals.
