WHY PARTICIPATING • It is crucial for the coach to understand why the player is participating • Social • May need to change groupings for activities • May need to allow time for chat at start of training build into session • May need to separate players at various stages as may become disruptive or some players may work well together
TEENAGE SELF IMAGE • Teenage girls drop out of sport in large numbers • How do we keep these girls in our sport? • Self Image • Peer Approval • Need to boost the participant’s self-esteem • Carefully selected groups takes pressure off especially when delivering new skills
COACHES BE AWARE • Environment • see and hear you • any distractions – background • Physical • good vision • good hearing
COACHES BE AWARE • Intellectual • players do they understand what you are saying • identify their attention span • Background • do they speak English • ensure you do not use terminology they do not understand • cultural specific considerations
