challenge yourself
gmsd
The idea of challenging yourself, is not a new one. Many people have used the phrase in a variety of situations. Challenging myself to do bigger and better things, or just to improve on the things I was already able to do, is something which I still feel is meaningful . The idea of competition with oneself is the type that is most important. Competition with others is not a bad thing but it can sometimes get overwhelming and loose its true meaning. In contrast, the significance of competing with yourself has great value. People need to learn how to take risks in a controlled situation as they grow. Later these similar situations will present real life implications. In physical education class, I hope to help the students to see that it is okay to make mistakes. Learning through your mistakes can prove beneficial. "No one knows what it is that he can do until he tries."(SYRUS)
I have frequently used this concept in my physical education lessons. Tasks given will provide a level of success for all individuals, and also items that are open-ended. These open-ended activities allow for students to try difficult tasks without any real threat of failure. I try to stress the need to stretch your limits, and learn along the way. This, I believe, is the message behind the credo of challenge yourself.
