Beep test

My beep test score this year was much lower than I would get before. I was really disappointed when I saw my first beep test of the year. My beep test score went from 7.5-7.1 and then my last beep test score was 8. I used to run atleast a 9.something minimum so I don't know why my scores were so low this year. Although they were lower than previous years, my score for beep test and fitness testing improved from the start of the year to the last fitness test. 

1st test:
7.5 beep test 
Sit and reach 1
Push-ups 12
Balance board 9 touches
Jump 35cm
11.97 t test 
Plank 45secs

2nd test:
7.1 beep test
Sit and reach: 1
Push-ups: 15
Balance board touches: 8
Jump: 270-225= 45cm
T test: 10.57
Plank: 50sec

3rd test:
8.0 beep test
Sit and reach 1
Push-ups 21
Balance board touches 7
Jump 45cm
T test 10.88
Plank 1min 9 secs
 
From comparing my results all semester I have shown improvement all over. My beep test score went higher. I'm able to do more push-ups and a longer plank , a faster t-test and a slightly improved vertical aswell. But I need to do leg excercise to improve my vertical by a lot for basketball which is a summer goal of mine now. To improve my beep test score which in disappointed in, I need to work on my mental toughness. I know that I can do much more because I'm not even physically tired when I stop running. As soon as I get a heavy feeling in my feet and my mind says to stop I give in and stop. I need to  build mental toughness and hopefully I will get much better results next year.

  1. Happy to see growth and an attitude of working hard. I like your last paragraph. Just FYI… it is actually very common for girls to drop in their beep scores and for boys to increase from grade 8 to grade 10. Why do you think that is? Do some research around puberty hormones and how they are different for guys and girls. That will explain some of what may have happened this year and hopefully inspire you to work even harder. :)
