Coach and Preformer Flashcards
(18 cards)
What would a coaching session look like at Level A (command) for the learners and the coach?
And an example sport that would use command
The coach will give almost all input, and learners almost none, allowing them to develop
E.g. a Athletics throwing lesson… javelin
What would a coaching session look like at H (problem solving) for the learners and the coach?
And an e.g of sport using this method
The coach will provide no input, and learners will have to do research and discovery.
This approach encourages independent learning during activities.
What is the coaching style spectrum mentioned in the text?
A command
F guided discovery
C Reciprocal
H problem solving
These styles cater to different learning needs and promote various aspects of skill acquisition.
Define guided discovery in coaching.
The teacher provides information, queues, and questions in order to guide the learner into the discovery of movement skills. Use our progressive questioning to allow the learner to discover correct movement skills and techniques. The Performer is given responsibility through trial and error.
For E.g, gymnastics routine may have been made, but the coach allows the group to rearrange it to individual components to develop understanding and give creative freedom
What is the significance of the coaching styles spectrum?
It helps coaches select appropriate methods based on the learners’ needs and contexts.
Different styles can be more effective depending on the specific learning objectives.
True or False: At Level A (command), the coach has a high level of input during sessions.
True
At Level A, the coach provides all input to encourage learners to learn correct techniques in safe environment.
Fill in the blank: The coaching style that encourages learners to solve problems on their own is called _______.
Guided discovery or problem solving
This style fosters autonomy and decision-making in learners. Athletes require feedback during sessions. Instils greater understanding and reinforces correct responses.
Advantages of command
Learners closely follow teachers’ movements , decisions, and strategies and can learn correct techniques.
Useful in dangerous situations where safety is required
Useful for beginners
Disadvantages of command
