Week 2: Personal Development Pathways

In todays lecture, Keith spoke of personal development pathways and introduced it with a picture of bacon and eggs, referring to ones commitment to a particular venture, the eggs denoted the chicken and its contribution to breakfast of some effort but not as wholly committed as the pig was in giving itself fully to the cause.

This transfers into most things as you have the choice as to how much you wish to give of yourself, will it be a toe dipped in the shallow end or a running bomb into waters unchartered?

The concept of a personal learning environment is empowering, allowing the student or athlete to excel
based on how much he/she wants to delve into the process. Any process needs to be guided by a teacher or coach, but the hunger that is displayed in the search for information and knowledge can only be beneficial for any long term goals.

Keith put links to various youtube clips as a way to express who he is or who he sees himself as in terms of songs and video clips, so I thought I'd give that a go as well.

Johnny Football Edition | Dude Perfect

Love sport, love that these guys are famous for loving sport! Here they catch up with the man of the moment Johnny Manziel.

Coach Carter

The turning point in one of my favourite movies, an excerpt from a Marianne Williamson poem. Touching to all who witness it.

Shawshank Redemption - Escape

The escape scene in what would have to be in anyones Top 10 movie list.

Troy Fernandez - Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World

This is a street performer from Waikiki that I stumbled upon whilst there, love this song and fitting because Somewhere Over The Rainbow was one of my grandmas favourite songs too.

Meet Neal Maddox

One of my favourite athletes from CrossFit. Shows what hard work and persistence brings. Also shows you can eat ice cream and donuts and still be ridiculously fit!

Just a glimpse of my likes, hard to elaborate as well as Keith did in the lecture but an effort nonetheless.
