Coaching Better Part 1

“Alright lets just get into one line. Okay
start pitta-patter feet off the line, all
0:00:17.349,0:00:21.000
we are going to do is drive forward off one
straight pace okay? Hands out in front, pitta-patter
0:00:21.000,0:00:24.430
feet, hands to the ball. Hands to the ball
Jane…Good girl.”
0:00:24.430,0:00:30.210
“Coaching is an active process, but affective
coaches don’t simply do. They also think
0:00:30.210,0:00:36.769
about what there doing, and what they’ve
done. They reflect. Self reflection is a vital
0:00:36.769,0:00:43.129
feature of affective coaching. Just as we
observe and provide feedback to our athletes.
0:00:43.129,0:00:48.960
So we also need to look at ourselves. To see
what’s working and what isn’t. How we
0:00:48.960,0:00:55.960
can do things better in the future? Self reflection
provides the bases for improvement.”
0:01:07.770,0:01:13.390
“This video aims to introduce you to the
process of self reflection, and to the practical
0:01:13.390,0:01:19.180
ways in which self reflection can be used
to improve your coaching. It also suggests
0:01:19.180,0:01:24.350
some important aspects of coaching behaviour
to have a look at, and provides examples of
0:01:24.350,0:01:30.090
the types of self reflective questions which
can be used and the kind of strategies of
0:01:30.090,0:01:37.090
improvement which can be developed.”
0:01:38.560,0:01:42.859
“There is nothing mysterious about self
reflection. We all do it, but rarely in a
0:01:42.859,0:01:48.829
deliberate and systematic way. To be of any
real benefit self reflection needs to be linked
0:01:48.829,0:01:54.950
closely to your coaching. The process begins
with Action; the things you do as a coach.
0:01:54.950,0:01:59.859
Then comes analysis and evaluation; where
you question and critically evaluate what
0:01:59.859,0:02:05.219
you’ve been doing. Leading you to recognise
the aspects of your coaching that need improvement.
0:02:05.219,0:02:11.150
You then design some improvement strategies,
implement them and assess how successful you’ve
0:02:11.150,0:02:15.980
been and what more needs to be done. But of
course the circle never really stops, not
0:02:15.980,0:02:18.720
if your aim is to continue to improve as a
coach.”
0:02:18.720,0:02:25.720
“Okay now when you swing your arms forward,
keep that chest in for me okay, big jump.
0:02:30.730,0:02:33.010
Tummy in.”
0:02:33.010,0:02:37.980
“You now have a general idea of what the
process of self-reflection involves, but how
0:02:37.980,0:02:43.980
are you actually going to do it? Three practical
methods are available. The Coaching Diary,
0:02:43.980,0:02:50.980
Mentor Coaching and Video Self Analysis.”
0:02:55.980,0:03:00.409
“Keeping a training diary for your program
is a common practice. But it’s also worth
0:03:00.409,0:03:06.069
keeping a coaching diary focusing on your
own performance as a coach. The process of
0:03:06.069,0:03:11.189
writing things down can prove a very effective
means of making self-reflection work. Thoughts
0:03:11.189,0:03:16.870
can gain greater clarity, passing observations
can be recalled. Strategies can be developed
0:03:16.870,0:03:17.549
and assessed.”
0:03:17.549,0:03:24.090
“Okay then come down…that’s what I want
you to think about next time. Tummy in…alright!
0:03:24.090,0:03:25.989
Good girl.”
0:03:25.989,0:03:32.989
“…Which means your going to have to take
your contact up a little. Yep, so keeping
0:03:36.969,0:03:43.969
your contact but also staying soft in your
arms aswell…Well done!
0:03:46.900,0:03:53.439
“Mentor coaching is a tried and true method.
Coaches review and discuss their coaching
0:03:53.439,0:04:00.439
with an experienced coach. It’s very important
if self reflection is too occur, that the
0:04:00.700,0:04:05.930
coach defines the problem and contributes
to suggest its solutions. The mentor should
0:04:05.930,0:04:10.819
act more as sounding board then as an instructor.
The strength of this method is that it makes
0:04:10.819,0:04:13.689
self-reflection social and interactive.”
0:04:13.689,0:04:19.930
“Can she feel it…do you know what’s
happening?
0:04:19.930,0:04:26.930
“Um…well I think so I’ve been asking
her questions…”
0:04:30.050,0:04:34.870
“Video is often used to analyse athlete
and team performance. Why not use it to asses
0:04:34.870,0:04:40.250
your own performance? Coaches have video tape
so that they can sit down later and review,
0:04:40.250,0:04:46.870
analyse and evaluate themselves. Video provides
a very rich, detailed and flexible record
0:04:46.870,0:04:51.930
of behaviour. It gives coaches another perspective
on what they are doing, and can often help
0:04:51.930,0:04:53.500
reveal areas for improvement.”
