DAILY RECORD OF VISIT TO THE PLACEMENT

 

 

 

Date: 28-01-2020
Group or individual with whom I worked: Marjon Tennis Society

 

BEFORE my placement …

What am I aiming to achieve from my placement today? What do I need to be mindful of? What issues/questions need to be addressed to ensure I achieve my aim? Do I need to be aware of particular theories, or have particular skills? Have I thought about all of the ‘what ifs’?
 

Today from placement I want to improve my knowledge behind tennis injury’s and the mechanisms that cause more injuries. I feel like I have good background knowledge in injuries, but I would like to develop my understanding of specific common injuries in the sport of tennis.

 

 

 

DURING my placement …

What did I notice happening around me today? What was I thinking and feeling? How was I involved? Did I do anything to intervene and change the situation that I found myself in e.g. how I conveyed a point or whether I decided not to do something I had planned to do? Did my reflections at the time change the session I had planned or my actions?
 

Today I was mostly monitoring the players to see how they were coping after their game, I was told that no injuries were sustained at the match the week before, but I was still very closely monitoring the players who played to make sure that they were being truthful.

 

 

 

 

 

AFTER my placement … (based on the Gibbs (1988) Reflective Cycle)

Today at placement my main activity was the maintain the rehab of the lateral epicondylitis. This was through more isometric loading through the wrist extensors.

 

 

 

Document how you felt through-out your placement today. Were you anxious, confident, pleased or disappointed?
 

Today at placement I felt very confident as I felt that I was in control of everything that happened and nothing that happened was out of my control.
