Task 3 - Review of your Coaching Session

Reviewing the planning and leading of your sports activity

You are going to write a full review of the session that you delivered. Gather all the feedback you received from the session you delivered. This may be from the participants, observers or your assessor.

 

1. To prepare your review you need to look at the feedback from your assessor and the participants. From this information prepare a self evaluation and review of your session. These should show what your strengths and areas for improvement were in the planning and leading of your sports activity. You should consider how your planning affected the session you delivered and what you would change for future sessions. You should then examine yourself as a sports leader. What attributes did you display and how did this have a positive or negative effect on the session?

 To show that you are keen to progress as a volunteer leader you are going to prepare a development plan to share with the head coach.

2. Create a development plan to discuss how you can become a more effective leader. Look at your areas for development and set SMART targets to show how you will develop as a sports leader. In your development plan you should include the following areas:

• an aim – this will highlight which area you hope to develop
• objectives that show how you will meet your aim
• short-, medium- and long-term goals to show how you will meet your aim and how long it will take
• activities and opportunities that you can access to become a better leader e.g. a Level One coaching course
• barriers that might stop you achieving your aim.

 Carry out research into activities that may help you become a better sports leader using textbooks, the internet and journals.
