DAILY RECORD OF VISIT TO THE PLACEMENT

 

 

 

Date: 30-01-2020
Group or individual with whom I worked: Marjon men’s futsal 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 run the cooldown that I developed for the boys to make sure that they don’t develop injuries too easily. Futsal is played on a hard surface and a lot of force is generated through ground contact putting a large force through the ankle and knees, this is why the primary muscles targeted in the cooldown will be the calf muscle made of the gastrocnemius and soleus, the tibias anterior, and the knee flexors such as the hamstring group.

 

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?
 

During my placement today I was noticing the different movement styles of the different players. This is as I am still getting used to everyone as this is a new team that I am working with. I was involved with a few of the players who were talking to me about extra training outside of Futsal and I recommended some exercises such as glute bridges to help with glute firing.

 

 

 

 

 

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

Describe the activities you undertook whilst on placement today. Set the context, what you did and what happened.
 

On placement today I ran the cooldown to aid in the recovery of the players to try and reduce the onset of DOMS by flushing the lactic acid out of the muscles and into the blood stream which will be then taken to the lungs through gaseous exchange.

 

 

 

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

Today at placement I felt really confident as the players responded very well to my input and they reported that the session ran by myself was useful and they felt the benefits.
