Conclusion
This table will help me determine whether I am on average, below or above it. This will the help me establish my strengths and weaknesses. 12 minute run (meters) 20 meter shuttle run (secs) Ruler Stretch (cm) Sit Ups Illinois Agility Run (secs) Stork Stand (secs) Throw/ Catch Ruler Drop (cm) 1700 (to nearest whole number) 5.84s 50.4cm 25 22.01s 8.5 s 53 7.6 When compared, my results show that I am below average compared to the groups' average results. This displays that I have many weaknesses. Weaknesses I have many weaknesses which mean I am not be able to play as well as some more able players. As I have so many weaknesses it is vital that I improve. Making Improvements I need to make drastic improvements so that I can actually play at a higher quality and so that I can help my team in a game. Improving would mean that I would not be a weakness of my team and this would improve play overall. This would also mean we have a greater chance of winning a game. Also improving would mean all my skills would develop to a better standard which again would mean a higher standard of play. ...read more.
