Accountability report competences 1-6
1. develop their Sports Professional identity in terms of professional proficiency
I consider a sports professional someone who knows their way around all the different aspects of the sports world. How have I improved this skill during my time at sports studies?
During the year I was introduced to a lot of aspects of the sport world, I did not even realize existed or did not realize were as important as they are.
I used to consider myself a pretty good coach, but during the coaching classes I learned a lot a valuable coaching skill and knowledge. I had some experience in organizing workshops and events, but we were immediately thrown into the deep end and organized a sports event for disabled children. In block 2 I learned more about how sports organizations function and how much there is to managing a sports organization. A skill I had not considered, but appeals to me a fair bit is entrepreneurship. We designed an app that and learned how to make a business plan.
Finally we analyzed a company and learned how to help employees be more vital and were taught how to personally coach someone.
All these skills combined have helped me broaden my horizon, and made me into a more complete sports professional.
Not only have I been learning at school, I have not been sitting still while I was at home neither.
I enlarged my network since I have moved to Groningen and made valuable professional contacts, through school, the honors program and sports.
Now that I know there is so much more to the sports world than I originally realized, I cannot wait to learn more about all the different aspects, and find a skill that I want to specialize myself in.

2. Pursues a methodical and evidence-based approach
During my time at sport studies, I learned how to do reliable, scientific research. From doing this I learned how to form my opinions based on these articles. For example, during the essays we had to write, we could only use scientific, peer reviewed sources for our sources. Before coming to this school I had never done actual reliable research and I am happy I have this skill locked down.
For all the reports and essays we wrote we had to use the proper APA style formatting. This was something I was not familiar with either. It was a challenge, at first, to write reports like this, as it takes more time and sometimes became confusing.
I also learned to look more critically at sources like videos, articles and even the news. To proof this competence I refer to the essays and reports I have written. Especially the article below, where I only used peer-reviewed scientific sources.

3. Collaborates in teams and networks
A lot of people ask me why I decided to do the English course instead of the dutch course. My answer is usually something along the lines of; Because it offers me a chance to meet all sorts of different people with different world views and cultures. I would definitely not say that it is always easy to work with group mates that have such a different view than my own. However, I do believe that I have improved a lot in this aspect. I used to hate group projects, but I have started to see their value a lot more, because it is very important to learn how to work with other people.
I have not failed any group exercise and have gone from the person that used to sit back to the group leader, who takes initiative and motivates the rest of the group to take action.
I see now that whenever it is clear what needs to be done, group work can be very easy, as you have a lot of people to help you.

4. Communicates effectively
communicating effectively is in my opinion one of the most important skills on this report.
Especially in group projects, it is very important to communicate with your group members. You cannot assume work is being done, without checking with them every once in a while. This will also allow you offer help where necessary and make a project run a lot more smoothly. The more projects I have been a part of, the more I learn to communicate effectively.
Not only in group projects, but also in class it is important to communicate with the teacher to find out what exactly they are looking for in an exercise.
After this year I have shown that I am able to communicate well enough to pass all of my group projects. I have also made connections with people in and out of school, which would not have been possible without effective communication.
For prove of this competence I refer to the teammate reviews.

5. Functions effectively in an international and intercultural environment
To reach the best results in any project it is required that the team works well together, through doing group projects with my international classmates, I experienced what it is like to work with all sorts of different people, with different opinions and views. Showing the results of my group projects will show that I have worked successfully with people from over the whole world. Not only working with with people from different cultures, but also socializing with them is a part of this competence. When I first joined this course I found it challenging to speak in english and to approach people I did not know.
During the year I started to learn that even though they might come from a different background, they are all really nice and interesting people. I have also learned to look differently at certain things through my interactions with them.

6. Acts responsibly and demonstrates engaged citizenship.
Working as a sports teacher has thought me a lot about responsibility. When I started this course I decided to take responsility for my life and to put effort in the things that are important to me. The group member reviews will show that in all group projects I usually take a lot of responsibility and try my best to make everything into a succes. Not only in group projects, but also in my other school work, as well as my honours project and the regular courses, my grades show that I have been taking responsibility for my education.
Through my volunteer work with the school and the 4 the love of movement event I have shown that I value the projects people undertake to help others be more active.
Not only that, but I have also done some work to help the school with their marketing, for example the posters I made for the healthy aging project.

I have now done one year of sport studies at the Hanzehogeschool groningen. I reflected on the progress I made during this year.
During the year I was introduced to a lot of different aspects of the sports world, like; organizing events, coaching, consulting, writing scientifically, inventing, entrepreneurship, personal coaching and much more. I worked alone on some projects and some were done in projects groups.
In this year I developed myself as a sports professional and gained knowledge and experience on a lot of different aspects of the sports world.
My teacher, group mates and classmates have always been very positive about me and I learned how to behave in international environments.
