Coaching Log – Athlete Observation

Date 11/12/2014

Location Worthing College

Strengths I was able to asses Maddy in a wide variety of footage as pretty much all of her games have been videoed in the last eight months. I was also able to look at her in training to asses her skills more individually.

Improvement Areas

It would have been good if I have been able to asses her in a live game as it gives a more accurate representation of things like fitness.

Points for future discussion

Discuss with the athlete her performance in the games that are on video to asses her understanding of the game.

Possible actions arising

When reviewing her progress I will look at recent footage only and watch her in a live game.

Coaching Log – Athlete Profiling Meeting

Date 11/12/2014

Location Worthing College

Discussion points

When I met with Maddy we spoke through the scale that I used to asses her performance so that she knew what she would need to use when completing her ASA and API. Our meeting was quite short meaning she didn’t have much time to complete her ASA and API.

Concerns Although Maddy will have tried to be accurate with her scoring of herself she may have made herself better at some things and been over critical of herself on others.

Points for future discussion

I will discuss with Maddy the scale and ensure her understanding and also make sure she scores herself fairly.

Possible actions arising

I will ensure the meeting is longer and that she has more time to complete the scoring of herself to ensure it is more accurate and not rushed.

Coaching Log – Coach Profile Meeting

Date 11/12/2014

Location Worthing College

Discussion points

In this meeting I spoke with Mark Rugman about the scale and ensuring he understood it. I then spoke to him about my ratings for Maddy to see where we agreed and where we disagreed.

Concerns Mark doesn’t do the strength and conditioning program with Maddy so is scoring her based on what he sees in games and field based training.

Points for future discussion

The improvements he has seen in Maddy and insuring he understands the scale for when we review her performance.

Possible actions arising

I will make the meeting longer and instead of leaving the sheet for him to complete I will sit in the room meaning if he has anything to clarify I will be able to.
