- 3. Coaching Log – Athlete Observation Date 11/12/2014 Location Worthing College via video analysis Strengths From athlete observation it has shown that Katie’s clear strengths were her concentration ability throughout a game and her ability to make a correct line out throw decision. Other strengths of hers included running crash ball lines and her body composition. My observations which I were able to get included both video analysis, observation and conversation with the Katie which enabled me to get an overall picture of what Katie's performance is like and where her strengths are. Improvement Areas Her improvements form the profiling wheel show that her flexibility levels, strength and speed levels need to be improved upon. when improving upon observation i must consider the idea of spending more time over the analysing including breaking down of movements and focus upon areas that need to be improved upon that may go unnoticed Points for future discussion Points which will be discussed is her flexibility score, due to Katie having ankylosing spondylitis(areas of the spine becoming inflamed, and has also been told that she is hyper mobile meaning flexibility is a weakness because her levels can inhibit her performance and cause possible injury. future discussion will also consider in more ways of being able to observe Katie as a performer and for the fitness components to conduct tests show her strength and weakness areas as i am unable to see fitness components clearly from video analysis. Possible actions arising actions arising will can include previous tests that would help determine the strengths and weaknesses with comparative data to see whereabouts Katie is compared to the elite level which she wants to be at. if i were to have a meeting again i would make sure that i had more videos from games both within and out of college to analyse Katie in a variety of different situations but also to speak to other coaches to see what they believe Katie's weaknesses/strengths to be. If i was to have this meeting again i would make sure that i research more into the athlete position so i am able to understand their positioning more
- 4. Coaching Log – Athlete Profiling Meeting Date 11/12/14 Location Worthing College via video analysis Discussion points The idea that she has a hyper mobility problem which will be rated normally compared to others, leading to being a weakness, but having reasons for this. The observation went well by recently playing a game and having currently video analysis she was able to effectively analyse her abilities to judge accurately. Concerns Concerns for athlete meeting is although Katie has tried not too is the demand characteristics whereby some aspects may not be completely accurate and reliable results. Points for future discussion Future discussion would include analysing her game at different levels of play i.e. county and divisional because of the different levels of ability she is playing at means that when analysing depending on the level of her opposition will affect her level of ability which is shown therefore getting a wider variety of footages to have assessed from. Possible actions arising In the future i would make sure that the athlete has agreed upon the rating scale and that they understand fully the rating scales and to explain in depth, and being able to give video analysis which the athlete can also observe themselves from. if i had the meeting again i would make sure there is more time to have the meeting as some parts were rushed due to busy schedules. i would also research more into Katie's positioning on the pitch and so we could have a further in depth talk about ratings and scoring systems compared to her positions and possible more scoring options incase of Katie playing in other positions.
- 5. Coaching Log – Coach Profile Meeting Date 11/12/14 Location Worthing College Discussion points A discussion point which came up, was how the scale was devised, which took into consideration both levels which could be above Katie's level but also below Katie's level, Mark Rugman who is Katie's college coach agreed with the scale but when filling in his ratings wasn't always sure of the results due to not having enough aberration i.e. strength which has been developed in the gym by other coaches. also both results of ours being relatively similar ratings showing more reliability in results and that the judging has been done upon an equal scale. Concerns Concerns which may have come up is the idea of areas such as body composition, which the coach didn't always feel comfortable in saying because of the idea that the athlete may feel self conscious and was unaware on what the body composition should be for a performance level hooker. Points for future discussion Points which will be discussed is her flexibility score, due to Katie having ankylosing spondylitis(areas of the spine becoming inflamed, and has also been told that she is hyper mobile meaning flexibility is a weakness because her levels can inhibit her performance and cause possible injury. Possible actions arising to speak to more coaches which are involved in Katie's training such as her gym coach Sam Hewick to get a better assessment level but also her club coaches which are harder to contact due to distance. i will also research about the qualifications the coaches have got and the experience they have, by doing this will help me to get highest coaching abilities results which will have a more accuracy, as well as a coach with lots of experience will have good skills at being able to analyse others play and point out where Katie’s weaknesses are.
