Coaching Processes are about how a coach
interacts with an athlete to identify

0:00:08.820,0:00:12.430
their needs, and develop and enhance
their skills.

0:00:12.430,0:00:16.840
This program will highlight three
aspects of Coaching Processes:

0:00:16.840,0:00:20.670
Coaches need to consider and adapt to
the individual needs of the athletes

0:00:20.670,0:00:21.250
they are coaching.

0:00:21.250,0:00:24.440
When trying to meet the needs of an
individual athlete some of the things

0:00:24.440,0:00:29.280
I might take into account include age,
ability, stage of development, gender

0:00:29.280,0:00:36.280
or culture. One of the girls in my squad
has recently come back from injury so

0:00:36.550,0:00:40.230
I’ve modified her program to suit her.
Okay girls lets jump up on the beam for

0:00:40.230,0:00:41.940
complex
George, you’re going to come around the

0:00:41.940,0:00:43.510
front today and do it on the white line
please.

0:00:43.510,0:00:50.510
I’m a bit scared of hurting my ankle again
so I’m glad my coach said to practice on

0:00:56.850,0:00:58.239
the floor.

0:00:58.239,0:01:02.399
Problem solving activities combined with
questioning are an important tool for

0:01:02.399,0:01:05.329
coaches to assist athlete learning.

0:01:05.329,0:01:09.040
I use problem-solving activities in training
because it’s more realistic to what happens

0:01:09.040,0:01:12.810
during the pressure of a game. And asking
good questions helps the athletes to think

0:01:12.810,0:01:17.380
for themselves.

0:01:17.380,0:01:20.650
Okay guys we’re going to move into a problem
solving drill now. It’s going to involve

0:01:20.650,0:01:23.240
two
defenders having to make decisions based on

0:01:23.240,0:01:27.740
what the ball carrier is doing. Okay so we’re
going to start the attacker with the ball,

0:01:27.740,0:01:30.320
he’ll come forward and make a pass to his
team

0:01:30.320,0:01:32.880
mate, you defenders again will have to make
a

0:01:32.880,0:01:39.880
decision on who to mark. Okay, away we go.

0:01:42.150,0:01:46.540
Jog it in again, we’ll just have a quick
chat

0:01:46.540,0:01:50.909
about it. Okay, just for the defenders why
did

0:01:50.909,0:01:53.880
you guys both choose to go to the ball carrier?

0:01:53.880,0:01:55.680
He seemed to be the most dangerous player
at

0:01:55.680,0:01:56.689
the time.

0:01:56.689,0:01:58.650
And what happened when he was able to get
a

0:01:58.650,0:01:59.740
pass away to his team mate?

0:01:59.740,0:02:01.710
He was free because both us were eliminated.

0:02:01.710,0:02:04.649
So how do we determine who best to mark then?

0:02:04.649,0:02:08.610
It’s the closest player depending on what
line the attacker runs on.

0:02:08.610,0:02:12.269
Great exactly and what’s going to help us
make these decisions out there?

0:02:12.269,0:02:13.489
More communication and talk

0:02:13.489,0:02:19.559
Okay, lets try it again, away we go

0:02:19.559,0:02:26.230
I like these kind activities because it
makes me think and prepares me for what

0:02:26.230,0:02:27.939
might happen during a game.

0:02:27.939,0:02:33.730
Coaches need to be skilled communicators,
to instruct, as well as, to provide advice.

0:02:33.730,0:02:37.319
When I’m giving instructions to the athletes,
I want to make sure that I’m clear and I’m

0:02:37.319,0:02:41.189
not giving them too much information all at
once. I give feedback to the group, and

0:02:41.189,0:02:44.939
individually as often as I can.

0:02:44.939,0:02:48.730
Okay guys before we go out, I want to do
some tap and roll exercises. Focus is

0:02:48.730,0:02:54.439
going to be on a good body position, strong
tap out, getting the hands away together.

0:02:54.439,0:02:57.540
When you’re ready….

0:02:57.540,0:03:04.540
Okay I want a bit more focus on that strong
tap down and hands away together. Mack –

0:03:06.969,0:03:11.269
if I can get you into a bit better body
position sitting up nice and tall.

0:03:11.269,0:03:17.059
Lets try that again, when you’re ready…

0:03:17.059,0:03:24.059
Okay that was good, lets go out now.

0:03:25.879,0:03:32.269
I don’t like when our coach overloads
me with too much information, it’s better

0:03:32.269,0:03:34.489
when he keeps it simple and just lets me
know how I’m going.

0:03:34.489,0:03:35.489
How can you gather and use information
about these biomechanical components to

0:03:35.489,0:03:35.749
improve your athletes?

0:03:35.749,0:03:40.889
Coaches play a vital role in helping
athletes to learn, develop and improve.

0:03:40.889,0:03:45.349
Coaches should ensure that they take into
account the individual needs of the

0:03:45.349,0:03:48.909
athletes. They should also encourage
athletes to learn through challenging

0:03:48.909,0:03:53.669
activities and use questions to promote
thinking. Coaches need to be effective

0:03:53.669,0:03:58.639
at providing instructions and feedback
to athletes. Ask yourself these questions:

0:03:58.639,0:04:03.919
How do you meet the individual needs of
the athletes?

0:04:03.919,0:04:08.819
How can you use problem solving and
questioning in your training sessions?

0:04:08.819,0:04:10.859
How do you give instructions and feedback?
