Introduction
This observational report analyses and reflects upon coaching methodology and styles currently in operation. It identifies and contrasts its various styles of coaching obtained from the observation of the dynamic and multifaceted relationship between coach and athlete whilst performing in their training environment.
For the purpose of this analytical report and as a principal influence in my non delineated guideline, I made use of the already existing observational methods (ASUOI) listed in the literature by (Massey et al, 2002).
In addition, to the observational assessment, any on field practical coaching methods employed by the participant’s strength and conditioning coach will be assed and evaluated in terms of their performance …show more content…
Although orally competent and attentive the coach failed for most part to instruct physically, correcting or re-instructing the athlete after the execution of the exercise or the acquisition of a new skill. It is advisable to implement this demonstrative learning process into the athlete's routine, it not only helps to identify potential issues in the athlete's performance, but it also helps to reinforce skill acquisition and their effective use and practice of those skills, according to Ehlers, Toit (2002) people learn better when watching and listening.
On the whole with the exception of the lack of preparatory protocol and guided directive at the earliest warm up stage, the coach demonstrated essential interpersonal qualities and skills required in terms of success, such as those similarly identified in the literature by Laios, Theodorakis (2005) and (Giancola, 2010), has also supported by the literature not only are those necessary to meet the athlete’s development goals, but they also cater around the athlete’s emotional needs. Ultimately in conjunction they define and establish the effectiveness of the coaching style delivery …show more content…
To a greater extent the coach has adequately and successfully implemented physical and interpersonal protocols confined in a mostly democratic style coaching approach, from a practical standpoint, the coach was able to draw realistic goals to the athlete and was able to accomplish those, ultimately contributing to the athlete's physical performance and cognitive development.
In retrospective, I can firmly say with a particular focus on the observational opportunity provided to me that the exploration of the subject through the literary research and supportive first-hand observation, has contributed the most for me in terms of personal development and extension of my pre-existing knowledge on the subject. Therefore functioning as an indispensable auxiliary, whilst given opportunity to perform a coaching
