Self-reflection

Coaching Session Reflection Sheet (Gibbs model)

Session Date: 23-11-2015

Venue: USW Sports park

Topic: Defending with back 4 and one screen

Description: What Happened?

I was given a B license topic to prepare and deliver with another classmate. We both discussed and prepared the session plan

Feelings: What were you thinking and feeling before, during and after ?

Before: I was excited about this topic as defending is my favourite topic as I was defender in my college team. I knew about the defending principles.

During: I was hesitant couple of times to step in and coach

After: I understood my mistakes I did and realised sometimes I was in wrong position and missed the whole picture of all players.

Evaluation: What was good and bad about the experience ?

Good:

Since I knew the other classmate well we had a healthy discussion and debate about the session and worked together bringing in different ideas.The opportunity to coach defending was nice.

Bad:

I knew what to coach before session but during session just missed few things.

Conclusion: What else could you have done to improve the session?

If I had stepped in immidiately whenever I saw a problem and recreated the picture exactly and moved the players as per the defending principle, it would have an ideal impact in the players.

Action Plan: If it arose again how could maintain the positive aspects and improve the limitations ?

Supervisor statement:

I confirm that the above evaluation relates to a practical coaching session that I can confirm took place on the date stated below
