Teamwork!
Hi, Hamish and Angus here. We are 12 and 10.
We love playing football and we decided at the end of the footy season
last year to improve on our 2005 vote count results.
To achieve
this we decorated our bedroom at the end of the season with all our
footy photos and posters of our footy idols, and our past trophies and
medals. We then trained throughout summer, running on the oval, as
stamina was our weakness! We practised our overhead marking andvisualised making our speeches with our trophies in our hands. When we
went to bed, we would talk about how we were going and coach each other
on what we needed to work on, particularly the nights before and after
the game.
Last week was end of season vote count and we both
came home very happy, having completed our task.
As a home educating family who plan and set goals through visualisation, we have particularly enjoyed reading The Mastery Club. It is refreshing to read a personal development book in novel form written for children. We have learnt further how to develop our skills and want to share our stories to date.
