- 1. Unit 27 Task 2 – Coaching Log
- 2. Athlete Introduction • Name: Lisa • Gender: Female • Date of birth:30/09/1996 • Age:18 • Height:5” 3 • Weight:55kg • BMI:22.1 • Sport: Badminton • Level:Performance
- 3. Coaching Log – Athlete Observation Date 9/12/14 Location Horsham Leisure Center Strengths I have a lot of previous knowledge about the athlete as I have both trained and played with her on occasions. I feel that by watching her on Tuesday enabled me to watch her in a new environment (it was only her second county standard match) I was able to look specifically at her confidence and be really specific about the scores I gave. Having the previous knowledge also enabled me to understand that pressure affects her and that I need to score her precision on other events too. Improvement Areas To improve I could have watched another game involving a different partner and a different opposition; I could then see how Lisa adapted to another players technique of playing. This would have enabled me to judge her better on areas such as positioning on court and confidence. Points for future discussion In the future I will make sure that I watch a few more relevant games to make analysing her easier. Possible actions arising I will be looking over my scores in detail to make sure I feel they are correct and will also be attending another match to ensure this
- 4. Coaching Log – Athlete Profiling Meeting Date 10/12/14 Location Worthing College Discussion points I explained to athlete what I was anaylising her exactly for and informed her of the importance that performance profiling has. I then re-informed her of what the ASA and API’s were before explaining in detail my scoring system. Concerns I was concerned that Lisa would be confused by the scale or forget the different stages half way through. It was important to over come this so after answers which I didn’t agree on I would remind her of my scale so she could be sure she scored herself correctly. Points for future discussion I believe that Lisa understood the scale and am confident that she thought hard about her answers and that they give a true representation of her performance. Possible actions arising I will ensure that I give the coach the same detailed explanation of my scale so that she too understands it fully. I will go through the coaches scores with Lisa to see if she agrees on the points
- 5. Coaching Log – Coach Profile Meeting Date 10/12/14 Location The coaches house Discussion points I explained to her why I had chosen Lisa for my assignments and what performance profiling was about. I also explained the scale I was using in detail so she understood what it was. Concerns My main concern was that the coach wouldn’t understand the scale so to over come this I used other athletes as examples to compare Lisa to when judging her. Points for future discussion To contact both the coach and the player to make sure they agree with the results that I found. Possible actions arising I will be contacting Lynn again soon to discuss the 4 strength's and weakness’s that I found to make sure that she agrees with them
