Today as normally on tuesdays and thursdays I have attended a tennis practice. I have decided to ask my coach to say a few words about my progress. Unfortunately he refused to embarrass himself with his English so he talked in Russian but you can follow my translation below the video.
Translation:
Me: Stop it..Vladimir Sanich, stop it. (he was poking me)
Coach: What do you want me to say?
Me: A few words. A few words about me.
Coach: A few words? About how you played today?
Me: Yes.
Coach:You were quite good today. An "A" for your forehand shot, an "A" for the backhand one too. Your smash was outstanding. Still have to work on your serves though. Yes?
I admit, he over flattered me when talking about my smash but his comments in general gave me an understanding of what I should be aiming on improving. I thank him for that and set myself a goal to train hard to improve my serves.
CAS outcomes:
- increasing awareness of my strengths and weaknesses
- showing perseverance and commitment to my activities
- developing new skills
- being a reflective, communicative IB learner
