As a coach what attributes would you like your players to display? • The capacity to ‘read the play’, to be able to assess what is happening and make the correct decision • Select the right option and deliver it • Consistently make good decisions when there's lots happening • Good thinkers, know what they are doing • Skills don’t break down under pressure • Intrinsically motivated independent thinkers • Physically fit, psychologically astute, gifted in the skills of the game
Game Sense • “The game is the focus of the session and challenges the players to think about what they are doing and why”
So why Game Sense? • Game centred focus – game comes first • Emphasis on player thinking and decision making • Coach as a facilitator, and creator of scenarios and problem situations • Skills learned through this form of coaching delivery are more likely to be applied in a game/competition • Players who do not respond positively to an authoritarian style respond very positively • Players solve game problems by playing enjoyable games, practising skill in an enjoyable environment • Change the context of the game i.e. manipulate defence to challenge decision making of attackers
Why Game Sense? • Thinking back to what we know about skill acquisition from Day 2. Why would we use a more game sense approach?
Why Game Sense • What’s your approach to game sense as a coach?
