Reflection on playing sports at BISB

Playing sports at BISB has been an enormous part of my student life. I have played football since I was six years old but BISB has given me the opportunity to try out new sports such as basketball and volleyball. At first, I never had any intention of joining new sports such as basketball or volleyball because they didn't necessarily attract me. I decided to try out for volleyball in Grade 10 because I felt like I needed to do another challenge and train myself to get fitter.

Joining volleyball was definitely a decision that I don't regret. The only thing I regret was not joining volleyball earlier. Volleyball was a whole new sport to me as it wasn't a contact sport unlike football. Volleyball was able improved my communication skills and mentality when it comes to sports.

Basketball was another sport that was new to me. I tried out for the team in Grade 11 because I wanted to be a part of all three sports that year. Basketball wasn't really a sport I particularly enjoyed but I'm glad that I tried out for it anyways. I was able to reach the ISAC team but I didn't really play well. I didn't really understand basketball when it came to positioning and strategies unlike volleyball.

Overall, I'm glad I tried out for both sports. Both sports taught me how to play better with a team and it's helped me become fitter.
