Video self analysis: a lens on coaching (Part 2)
0:00:00.210,0:00:04.560
“It’s going Ok. Um, I’m having a few
problems getting the message across and I
0:00:04.560,0:00:09.620
need to, I think I’m giving too many instructions
and being too impersonal. So I’m looking
0:00:09.620,0:00:14.250
at doing more hands on, on techniques.
0:00:14.250,0:00:19.099
“Well I was pretty clear that there was
a positional play problem. Um, I think I just
0:00:19.099,0:00:23.829
leapt in too quickly though and didn’t allow
the players to have a say and I didn’t listen
0:00:23.829,0:00:25.890
to what hey had to say.
0:00:25.890,0:00:31.909
“The next step is to consult with a mentor.
This helps ensure you’re on the right track.
0:00:31.909,0:00:37.440
Your mentor views your tape and discusses
it with you. Their role is to serve as a sounding
0:00:37.440,0:00:40.140
board for your self evaluation.”
0:00:40.140,0:00:46.730
“So you want to work on your questioning?”
0:00:46.730,0:00:51.809
“Yeah I think I need to ask um, less rhetorical
questions and um, be a bit more focused on
0:00:51.809,0:00:52.609
what I’m asking.”
0:00:52.609,0:00:55.469
“So what would be a better way of asking
the question then?”
0:00:55.469,0:01:01.210
“um, probably if I direct the question at
the individual and just get a little bit more
0:01:01.210,0:01:03.749
specific in what I’m actually asking them
what to do.”
0:01:03.749,0:01:05.019
“Good, yeah.”
0:01:05.019,0:01:10.119
“Well having a mentor really helped me clarify
what I needed to do to improve.”
0:01:10.119,0:01:14.820
“Having a mentor was fantastic, it’s um,
great to have someone there not only to provide
0:01:14.820,0:01:20.320
feedback on the technical aspects of coaching
but also on how effective I was being in the
0:01:20.320,0:01:24.810
instructions I was giving, the communication
I was using, the report that I had with the
0:01:24.810,0:01:28.780
athletes and uh, also to confirm that I was
on the right track.”
0:01:28.780,0:01:35.630
“You should now be ready to design practical
plans for improving your coaching and then
0:01:35.630,0:01:38.670
be in a position to implement them.”
0:01:38.670,0:01:42.430
“Well, I’m going to ask more focused questions
and just listen more attentively.”
0:01:42.430,0:01:46.590
“I’m going to use some parallel talking,
where I can actually physically manoeuvrer
0:01:46.590,0:01:50.869
Lisa into the position while explaining to
her where her body should be. I think that
0:01:50.869,0:01:53.329
will be the best approach.
0:01:53.329,0:01:57.820
“Now to the last step. After practicing
for a few sessions you need to make another
0:01:57.820,0:02:03.229
recording of your coaching and see how you’ve
gone. Were the changes effective? What more
0:02:03.229,0:02:04.630
needs to be done?”
0:02:04.630,0:02:08.430
“Um, when your driving into the middle here,
were you aware of where Kylie was?
0:02:08.430,0:02:11.900
“Yeah I saw her but I thought she was going
to change direction so…”
0:02:11.900,0:02:15.780
“Yeah well how do you think you can avoid
that? Because you’re coming in on top of
0:02:15.780,0:02:19.140
her and I thought maybe you hadn’t seen
her, but you had, you did see her, so what
0:02:19.140,0:02:19.940
do you think you can do?”
0:02:19.940,0:02:23.080
“Ah, well I can stop at the transverse and
have look and wait a little bit longer and
0:02:23.080,0:02:25.220
see where Tanya’s going as well.”
0:02:25.220,0:02:28.840
“That sounds good. Ok, I think it’s a
matter of stopping, having a look before you
0:02:28.840,0:02:31.940
drive into that space. Alright, that probably
applies to you as well.”
0:02:31.940,0:02:35.940
“Well the questioning that I’m now using
is, seems to be a better way of approaching
0:02:35.940,0:02:41.250
tactical problems especially with senior players.
They seem to respond to it quite well. So
0:02:41.250,0:02:46.060
I think just having a look at my own coaching
through a video self analysis has really helped
0:02:46.060,0:02:49.300
me in a practical way.”
0:02:49.300,0:02:56.020
“Now this is the position you guys are in
ok. See we’re bent here at the hips ok,
0:02:56.020,0:03:01.440
and when we run we want to be in a nice tall
extended position there, ok? So if I just
0:03:01.440,0:03:07.390
demonstrate on you Lisa. One hand on my shoulder
here. Now lift this knee up ok, now push up
0:03:07.390,0:03:10.820
on that back toe there. Push up. Now that’s
where you should be when you’re doing these
0:03:10.820,0:03:15.130
drills ok. Now we just need to keep this toe
up here as well. Right so we keep up nice
0:03:15.130,0:03:19.140
and tall, ok, so we’re getting our knee
up to parallel, out shoulders are up, out
0:03:19.140,0:03:23.090
chest is forward alright, in this nice tall
position we haven’t gotten any angle here,
0:03:23.090,0:03:27.960
see that Sharon? Ok, so let’s see how we
go, try to get into that nice tall body position.”
0:03:27.960,0:03:31.700
“Lisa is improving which is great, so uh,
that means that it’s been successful. Um,
0:03:31.700,0:03:36.090
the use of the video to observe myself and
my communication methods is, have been great.
0:03:36.090,0:03:40.540
Um, still a lot of things I can do better
but uh, I will defiantly be using this process
0:03:40.540,0:03:40.820
again.”
0:03:40.820,0:03:47.820
“Now it’s your turn. You know how the
process works, give it a try and see how it
0:03:47.840,0:03:53.620
can benefit your coaching. Video self analysis
is a very useful way of insuring that you
0:03:53.620,0:03:55.480
continue to improve as a coach.
“It’s going Ok. Um, I’m having a few
problems getting the message across and I
0:00:04.560,0:00:09.620
