Reflection
It was a real shame when my placement with the sports federation was cut short. As a department we had everything planned and really for our two big events of the year, varsity and sports awards. I was looking forward to have a real role at this years varsity and just being one of the people who was in charge and was there to help people. Hopefully that could happen next year.
I was happy with how the year went, I felt that I was really contributing to the sports federation and to sport at Marjon. I had a number of different activities and events that I was apart of, these stem from charity events and helping out the BUCS teams. From looking at my weekly dairy some went better than others. That was the part that was hard for me, I put on these fun inclusive sporting activities for everyone at Marjon to take part in and I wouldn’t get a lot of participants. I was glad that my supervisors Kathryn and Lauren were really good at telling me not to get down when this happens and it is always a learning process. This also shows me the real ties of the job. I am hoping to continue with my placement into the next academic year and I can grow in a professional manner. I want to extend my responsibilities further, I had a focus with the male football club however I want to do the same with more of Marjon’s sports clubs.
