Reviewing own performance

Reflecting on Personal Performance

Always reflect on the initial goals and objectives set prior to the activity. Did you reach your aim or were there areas left unattended?
Consider whether the goals were realistic. Were they too easy or too hard? Adjust your objectives for future activities accordingly.

Evaluate your technical skills. How well did you manage swimming, diving, kayak handling, or safety procedures, depending on the activity undertaken?
Assess your tactical skills, such as decision making and strategy during the activity.
Consider physical ability and endurance - were these as expected or do they need more work?
Reflect on your communication skills during group activities. Were you able to effectively share ideas or concerns during the activity?

Reflect on how you handled any stress or anxiety during the activity. Did fear or panic influence your performance?
Assess how you reacted to success and failure during the activity. Did you maintain a positive attitude even when facing difficulties?

Consider whether you adhered to all health and safety guidelines throughout the activity. Did you use equipment correctly and respect all procedures?
Assess any health conditions that may have influenced your performance, and seek medical advice if needed.
Reflect on any incidents or close calls that occurred. How did you react and could you have prevented these?

Consider any feedback received from peers or instructors. What improvements were suggested, and how can you implement these in the future?
Be open to constructive criticism. Identify areas for improvement based on this feedback.

Develop an action plan to improve your performance in future activities based on your reflections.
Set measurable goals for these improvements, and revisit them after your next activity.
Continue this cycle of reflection and improvement after each activity. This might involve seeking more training or practice, adjusting equipment or improving physical fitness levels.
