Knowledge: Amber has shown a great thirst to continually strive for learning and engaging with learning, as has been evident clinically. I have had the opportunity to be able to supervise and observe Amber’s clinical ability more so than pitch side. Her competency and level of clinical judgement is very impressive and I have been pleasantly surprised when having critical discussions with her regarding individual players.

Professionalism & Punctuality: Amber is always early to training and game sessions than the required meet time, ensuring she is adequately prepared, respectful, well dressed and otherwise professional. It has really impressed me how Amber has conducted herself this year and I think spending time with a professional basketball team, has only benefited her practice and professionalism when working with the BUCS Basketball teams.

Confidence: Albeit I eluded to Amber’s knowledge being excellent, she sometimes lacks the conviction to follow through with what she thinks to be right, when she is often right. I’d really like to create an environment where amber might be able to succeed and be given praise more often instead of more challenging situations she often finds herself in during her other placement. Trying to build on the foundation knowledge she already has and cultivating her ability and allowing her more freedom and flexibility to do with players what she wishes to, to try and improve her confidence.

Utilising Pocket Tools, Support Sessions and CPD: I’d really like for Amber to utilise more advice through me and her other clinical and placement supervisor’s to try and extract a mixture of anecdotal and evidence based information that will help her throughout her career. The completion of CPD to gain further specific knowledge so she can make better informed decisions professionally about modalities, how to treat professional players and engage with them psychologically as well as utilising pocket tools that can benefit clinical decision making in a pitch side environment or in high pressure situations that help to take the pressure of her by prompting of following a protocol.

Working Towards RFU PHICIS: I would eventually like for amber to have completed the Emergency Trauma (Pre Hospital) RFU course by September of next year, I feel she is currently working towards achieving this but feels she would benefit from some further 1:1 sessions, observations and feedback on her performance that perhaps is not appropriate for here.
