December CAS (2)

Creativity

As the first semester of my junior year comes to an end, my parent asked me what I want to do during winter break to relax, I told them I needed to restore my energy in a very cold and secluded place, I chose HeHuanShan (Mt) located at NanTou, my hotel is located at the height of 2400m, and we climbed a 3400m mountain, living on the mountain was extremely calming, the temperature remains around 3-7 degrees, the air is also refreshing, I had a really enjoyable time there, it was a restorative for my exhausted mind after the first semester. I also spent some time drawing as I’m enjoying the view!


Activity

I came back from NATURE on Wednesday Night (12/23), after a 3 day break, it is time to get back to my vertical program, my vertical program has been modified a little bit, the last change was made in the beginning of December, and I managed to dunk a volleyball and almost succeed on the alley-oop (catch the ball in air and dunk) on December 18th, the last basketball practice of the first semester, my vertical has improved gradually throughout this program, and as I learn more and modify the program, it becomes better and better.

This is what this week looks like, I have done a lot of research throughout my vertical program and there are a lot of new movements, information added into this plan.

 

December CAS (1)

We played 4 games in December so far, and I’m gradually improving through the games and trainings, for example, my mental state has become better, I started to hustle more on both defensive end and offensive end, and I tried my best to ignore the audience because it would be distracting. Below is our most recent game against Chi Hsien, (I am number 21) although they are in middle school, they are in D1 basketball league, which makes the game really tough for us, we were leading by 10 points by the 4th quarter, but our biggest mistake is that we thought we could win this game so some of us began to relax in some plays, this caused us to blow the 10 points lead in the final quarter.
