Before starting placement today, I need to be more aware of the technical langue when speaking to the participants as I’m using words they cannot understand yet so when explaining my warm up drill. Today as we are working on the proper running technique, I needed to read up on the certain movement types.

Today when I was delivering my warmup a participant started to play up by shouting out and being silly. this caused me to become flustered and lose confidence the head coach of the day saw this and decided to step in which has really put me down which really put me down and am starting to struggle with my confidence again.

Similar to last week we carried on our multi skills sessions with looking at running today Learning the fundamentals was the key part today. The warm up’s were stuck in the mud moving on to development of running and putting it into practice. After school club wasn’t on today.

The activities we’re very basic and just looked at developing the movement are running while the participants seemed to enjoy it I felt we could have done more to advanced the technique.

In conclusion I felt like today wasn’t my best day as I let a stupid mistake lower my confidence I will take this into account next time and look up appropriate ways to deal with a participant misbehaving.

Today is my final day of placement and while I am happy it has come to an end I have learnt a lot, today I am taking a session at dunstone I will not be leading today but will be taking a activity for stew to assess me on, this is making me anxious as I don’t want to mess up in front of him.

Today when explain my activity I missed a key part of the activity what made it go into a bit of mayhem but I called them back in explained it though again and include the detail which sorted it out and made the activity go smoothly.

My role was as a head coach but only taking one activity, when I wasn’t delivering I was helping stew set up and going though paperwork.

When my problem came up with my activity, I became flustered but I sorted myself out re briefed the participants and gained my confident back.

My activity was handball, as It was my first time delivering it I had to read some technical information on it. I feel like I missed a few details in technique development as I wasn’t used to the sport but was still able to deliver my activity to a high standard.

Today I will be leading my full session, I am feeling very confidence about this as I have been working on my coaching knowledge and behaviours. I will need to be thoughtful of my previous weeks as I have struggled with my terminology when explain so I will need to simply to meet the group.

Overall on the day it went very smooth activities were flowing very well into each other the only problem I had was when a saw two participants fighting over a bat I needed to step in and spilt it uo but I was resident to do this which lead to the situation escalating.

I chose to work on football in the session as I felt I could work on identifying space I chosen a number of activities where they needed to identify space, this will work on another key element of the programme.

I felt very proud of myself today from being the sky kid on day one who wasn’t speaking much to running a successful session where everyone was having fun was an amazing feeling. Today as also helped me pick a few point in my philosophy to work on.

My warm up was spiderman tag which is very basic but the participants loved it we needed to be careful of heading clashing in this. The main activities was to spilt a half a pitch into four sections and for each member of a team in square, they would pass between each square then follow the pass into the other square and identify space for the next person to pass to them.

Term time has started back at schools so we are about to start another programme, The programme is about developing participants though invasion games. I am feeling very confident about this programme as I feel like I can develop many different activities to test the participants.

Today if found that many of the participants weren’t engaging with the activities, I feel like this was due to them not really understanding the activities. There was also an incident were a participant fell over and hit their head, I used what I learnt in my Level 1 to assess to see if there was any signs of concussion, as I couldn’t see any I still recommend he sat out and the teacher keep an eye on him for the rest of the day.

The activities were team based holding games, as we wanted to promote recover runs as these are vital in many team sports.

I felt very nervous when helping the injured participant but knowing I had the support of the head coach so I knew if I had any questions, he would of helped me out gave me the confident to help him out.

In conclusion, I feel like I am finally understanding the role of the coach. The activities didn’t go great but it’s a learning curve I felt like I needed.

today I will be going on another roadshow and I am feeling the most confident I have been while coaching. I have come to the end of my FA level 1 now and feel like the course has really help me develop my coaching knowledge while also giving me a new philosophy to use in coaching. My aim today to carry on delivering quality skill-based drills.

Today when I was conducted my session I felt the group lose focus quite quick , while at the start of my placement this would have sent me into a panic I was able to quickly change my drill and gain everyone’s focus back.

My main role was to be an assistant to the head coach. The first skills base Activity we took was passing then we moved on to dribbling after lunch we had a tournament.

In my activity in the morning my participants found it hard to get grip of my concept it may have been to advance for their age group what was able to quickly change it on they got the hang of it.

In conclusion I feel like I am finally starting to develop a strong coaching philosophy and am able to adjust when something goes wrong.

Today is the last day of the multi skill sessions at wembury as it’s the last day of term. As today is the last day we will be doing a lot of fun activities to see out the final day. My aim for the day is to try and pass on knowledge where I can but remember to keep it fun.

We set up multiple stations were the participants could test what they learnt over the past few weeks, this gave us the ability the assess the development and we could see some serious improvement from the previous weeks.

We set up for stations for the participants to test their development on. my main role was to keep everything moving smoothly and try to help develop form where possible. I manged to help one participant develop her throwing technique and she managed to throw quite far by the end of it.

Activities are there to have fun with today as it was the final day of term we focused on letting the participants have fun while showing what skills they developed over the past few weeks.

In conclusion, today I didn’t really learn anything other than its good something to just let the participants to have some fun and enjoy sport for what it is.

Coming off the back of last week I have spoke to my placement Supervisor about the problems I’m having when trying to deal with behaviour problem he went for a few techniques for me to help me cope with the problem and now I feel more confident. Today’s is it there I tried to leave my full session on my own I’m feeling confident in this.

during the activities the same participant who’s been acting up a few weeks before started to do it again so I took the appropriate actions of sending him out of the session and it seemed to work as the other participants realise that I wasn’t I pushover.

We first started off with a simple tag game what the participants really seemed to enjoy. We then moved on to basketball we’ve started to put some of our multi skills into an actual game we learn some of the basics of the sport dribbling passing and we even got to play a game.

I felt proud of myself for taking the appropriate action in sending the participant out of the session who was misbehaving he apologised at the end of the session and I’m feeling very confident.

In conclusion, I am very happy with how the day went, I didn’t meet my goal of leading a full session I have been able to take control when participants are messing around this is a step in the right direction in Establishing myself as an authority figure.

30/11/18

Today my main aim of the day is going to be To try and take the warm up on the final activity it will be a challenge I’m feeling very anxious about doing it but I am excited because it is a step closer to me being able to lead my own full session.

During the day I found myself in a lot of discomfort as I was put in a situation by two participants who said one hit the other, faced with the hard task I Froze and sent the participants to the teacher. I feel like this was wrong decision as I could deal with the situation .

Still working on multi skills we started working on putting some of the skills we learnt into game situations and found that the participants have came a long way since the start of the programme.

Again I was faced by a hard decision and froze which I am very disappointed at myself for this as I could have dealt with it myself. Its days like this if I wonder if coaching is really for me.

In the game situations it didn’t require much coaching as I thought just a lot of spotting and correcting technique.

In conclusion, I need to work on defusing situations as soon as they pop up.

Wembury day four Of the multi skill program, as the main coach has gone sick today we have a different coach coming in. I’m going to try and use today to fine tune a few of my coaching behaviours as I want to keep developing my coaching philosophy.

as the new coach came in today I took more of a back seat role then I had in previous weeks but this allowed for me to analyse a different coach’s style and philosophy, he believed in giving the participants more time to figure things out on their own. We had to change one of the activities for the day as the participants weren’t able to pick up the skills fast enough.

We revisited throwing today and found that The participant didn’t really pick up the technique we taught a few week back so we needed to revisit what we did a few weeks ago.

In conclusion, I learn a new coach style from the head coach today allowed for me to assess my own and develop some new behaviours.

For all your placement needs
