Coaching Diverse Athletes and Expectations Flashcards
Kidman, 2005
athlete centred approach - emphasis on facilitation; sharing responsibility, encouraging self awareness and self-sufficiency
Hodgkinson, 2005
one person learns in a very different way to another, even in the same learning environment
Bullock and Wikeley, 2004
language barriers to learning - ‘work harder’, ‘pay more attention’
try - see, watch, hear, listen, feel, move
Orchestrator - Jones and Wallace (Jones, 2006)
- coaching is problematic
- orchestration becomes a coordinated activity expressed by coaches to plan, organise, monitor and respond to evolving circumstances to seek individual and collective improvement in those being coached
- coaches are, therefore, flexible, considerate, open-handed, sensitive
Reflection - Gilbert and Trudel (2001) in Jones (2006)
- reflection of ones sessions are required to improve ones performance
- reflection in action-time ion which it is still possible to make a difference
Gilbert and Trudel (2001)
when a problematic situation occurs this initiates a ‘reflective’ conversation;
- issue setting
- generate a strategy
- experimentation
- evaluation
