Summary.
When I am coaching young people you need to make any type of drill as fun and enjoyable as possible but still they need to learn something. I believe the warm-up that I coached were appropriate for the sessions and then followed the aims of the session. These included the basic ABC's skills that children need to develop which are Agility, Balance, Co-ordination and Speed. At the start the each warm-up I was really motivated and enthusiastic towards it, but near to the end I lost a bit of motivation and this had an impact on the participants. This is something which is really important and something I need to improve on to be a good coach. When Ben evaluated one of my warm-up it gave me a drive to become a better coach.
The main theme drills were the best out of the warm-ups and fun game because my first drill was a tennis drill and because I am a part time tennis coach this gave me a good advanced and having a good knowledge. At the end of the session me and the participants did a questions and answers and said they all found the session fun, intersecting and they found out something new.
Also within the main theme drills I used blocked and random practise when they were practising (one hitting and one throwing), they said that the blocked practise was easier as they were doing 10 hits then swap instead of 1 hit each time so I think this part of the session went well.
For the future sessions I believe that better organisation and planning will help me to develop as a better coach. A smart target would be to gain more coaching experience by coaching tennis sessions in schools with my tennis coach mentor, then start to coach one my own. Gain my level 3 tennis coaching award I would like to achieve this within the next 4-6 months.
