- Think: making appropriate choices about the type of activity we do can help us to reach our goals.
- Feel: knowing my own strengths and striving to make improvements requires self-motivation.
- Connect: acting as a role model and encouraging others helps everyone to be successful.
Words to know
- challenge
- hard to do and an opportunity to learn
- motivation
- reason or desire to do something, often driven by curiosity, interest or the promise of rewards
- encourage
- to offer support, confidence and belief
Common mistakes
Some pupils might think that activities for fitness are always solo tasks that don't encourage social interaction.
Being active with others can have lots of benefits, e.g. increased motivation, encouragement from others, and confidence. All these benefits combined, can encourage individuals to be more active, more often, resulting in increased activity levels.
