IVET Sport & Recreation: Foundation Coaching - E6 Feedback

In this episode, hosts Sarah and Matt discuss giving and receiving feedback as the eighth coaching communication style, then cover how to present, sequence, and pace activities during a session. They also explore setting behaviour standards, a three-step strategy for addressing poor behaviour, and methods for promoting cooperation, good relationships, interaction, and participation with foundation level participants. Key Takeaways: - The feedback sandwich is an effective approach for foundation level participants. Praise in public and correct in private. - Sequence activities from simple to complex so participants build foundational skills before using them in more challenging situations; pace sessions by reading participant engagement and adjusting timing as needed. - The unit lists four behaviours expected of an assistant coach: promoting positive interaction and participation, using acceptable language, arriving on time, and using self-reflection to identify areas for improvement. - Address poor behaviour with a three-step strategy: immediate intervention, reflect and redirect, and follow-up. - Prevention is the best behaviour management: match activities to abilities, group by skill level, provide varied challenge, reduce management time between activities, and minimise waiting time.
