Completing assignments is a great achievement:)

It's my ever first time staying put at NIE Lib to complete my assignments and do self study from 10am to 4pm:) Glad to have a bunch of supportive and active classmates and friends:) They made the completion really enjoyable...

Bball is not an easy game, I never thought it was... coming to face it in a real game situation requires lots of strategy, lots of stamina, lots of practice, courage and obviously skills:) If one never learns to accept the flaws and mistakes she/he has, one will never improve:) today's practice was an enriching one, thanks KS, Mel and Yosef:)

IVP swimming training was a good to go session, my 2nd session with them. It was a great session but leaves me pondering with something in mind... given this situation...

You have many students whom you are coaching... some definitely more skilful than the other. When you give the workout, majority can do within the time frame that you have set for the intervals, however, a special group of people who are in the long distance group have to do different workout.

However, 2 of the students in your long distance group are not as fast as the rest in the distance group... do you...

Option 1)
Ask them to just join the short distance group to do their workout (they are long distance ppl)... without explaining to them the rational, leaving them to think that it is because they are not fast enough to catch up with the rest of the long dist pple...

Option 2)
Ask the 2 swimmers to still do the long dist sets but yet go at their own pace, slightly slower than the others...

I would choose the latter one... for 2 good reasons
1) You encourage them to train the same workout set for them, but yet at a more manageable pace so that they can feel more motivated and not being demoralised for being slow

2) As a leader, if you want them to do the short distance sets, it should come with a rational, and the rational should not be just because they are slow for the long dist pple and are just nice if they join the short dist ppl...

to me, all that matters was team and individual morale:) To me, being more convenient to each and every one of us is not as important as to being responsible for the upbringing of every individual:)

There was a lesson learnt today, each and every day is a new lesson experienced... and I am glad that I managed to think more like an educator now:)
