Les Bee and Norman Boardman - Practical Presenter Training
I guess football has always had a philosophy
of being practical, coach education has been
0:00:13.830,0:00:20.830
a practical process, so it's, it's a kickback
to making sure that if want players to play,
0:00:22.450,0:00:27.970
and they learn by playing, then we want coaches
to coach and learn by coaching, so that's
0:00:27.970,0:00:33.310
done in a practical context. So we've transferred
virtually everything including the coaching
0:00:33.310,0:00:35.000
principles out onto the pitch.
0:00:35.000,0:00:42.000
The Sports Commissions Presenter Training
Package is really good, it’s got lots of
0:00:42.830,0:00:47.790
good quality information, but what we've done
is look at that and said how we do then implement
0:00:47.790,0:00:53.420
that in a practical context? So what do we
want the presenters to be able to do on a
0:00:53.420,0:00:58.930
course? and if we are saying we want the coaches
to coach out on the field, then that formed
0:00:58.930,0:01:03.170
the basis of, well what are the bits that
we take out of that, out of the presenter
0:01:03.170,0:01:10.170
training, to say that this is the practical
context.
0:01:11.509,0:01:18.509
We trailed it in Melbourne, with a Victorian
group then ran a national workshop in Sydney
0:01:20.049,0:01:23.219
with all of the states coaching directors.
0:01:23.219,0:01:30.219
It will be a different fit for every sport,
but certainly involvement of all the people,
0:01:32.840,0:01:38.630
the candidates, the presenters, right down
to keeping the players involved, I mean, if
0:01:38.630,0:01:43.499
you look at any sport it's all about the players
in the sport, and the presenting is all about
0:01:43.499,0:01:50.200
the coaches out there giving them the opportunity
to do what they do best and improve where
0:01:50.200,0:01:55.340
they need to improve and that's the organisation
of training sessions and getting it right
0:01:55.340,0:01:59.310
so that the players an opportunity in turn
to practice what they need to do.
0:01:59.310,0:02:06.310
The biggest thing is change, and throughout
the world, no one likes change, change is
0:02:09.800,0:02:16.800
very difficult, because they see it as a barrier
to their progression, or whatever it may be,
0:02:17.340,0:02:21.170
or they’ve earned the stripes and they don't
want the stripes taken away. It's not a matter
0:02:21.170,0:02:25.110
of taking stripes away it's adding to them
stripes. It's making them more attractive
0:02:25.110,0:02:31.420
and moving forward to into the future and
the future is making it all about getting
0:02:31.420,0:02:33.200
people involved, making them better.
