CAS reflection on Skiing

Reflection on Skiing experience

Skiing is a new sport for me and it is the first time that i got an opportunity to ride on skis.  Skiing is unheard of in a place where i came from. It is a great sport which i personally think requires a good balancing capability  and should be able to take concentration as a regular car drivers always does. I first learned to ski when i was in Austria for the winter break. I was taught about how to ski by a Austrian instructor. I took the lesson for five days and was able to learned basic steps to skiing which i am very proud of. Since then i have gone skiing many times and have gained a great deal of experience over the year. This involves the following criteria:It was a new sport for me and a challenge that i needed to undertake.  Every sports has some difficulties which it is complex to overcome within a day. Every sports needs a proper concentration and have to face the challenges. I had to go through this same situation and am able to ski like normal people. I was able to understand about my strength and weakness regarding this sport. I was able to learned skiing properly in a very short time and was able to do the black runs which is a very difficult one to ski. But the loss of control ability and my speed is a small weakness that i have realize. But i have also overcome my this weakness by reducing my speed and concentrating more on controlling the ski and turnings.    By being aware of my weakness and strength i was able to be aware about my level of skiing and measures to take to develop skill. To begin with, ski itself was a skill to me but i came to realize that it requires more than just a basic training to be able to ski.I needed more experience and a contribution to the sport frequently. This sport also involves skills to polish your critical thinking and capabilities. i was also able to learn about planning even in a sport such as ski. Planning and creativity about where to go, which route to take and where are the lifts and stop points etc everything can be planned before and follow the plan. i was able to do this as well follow my partners plans as well. Finally once you get hang of the sport you will get the excitement and develop a thrill to ski more. So, in order to do this i was able to work quite hard on my own pace and come to get the same level as other friends. you will also get to develop your perseverance power an will make you want to ski more often.
