Sport coach
The first experience I had of coaching was when I was a sports coach in schools around the St Albans area this was in partnership with St Albans football club. This was mainly done in primary schools at lunch time and after school. The focus sport of this event was football and was normally a session for around an hour. However if the weather was bad due to poor indoor facilities I would sometimes need to coach dodgeball inside as the space would be too small for football. This allowed me to use versatility in my approach and always be able to change plans if the weather or space is against me. The number of people I coached ranged from 15-23 people and they was mainly in year 3, 4 and 5 at school. Due to the year 3 being smaller I would sometimes need to put them in a group by themselves which would mean I need to watch over 2 sessions at once and this required my leadership skills to be of a high level to make sure that the order is maintained throughout the groups.

The skill I learned from this is that I learned my approach had to be more democratic as this allows them to have an influence as well as myself as this then makes them feel more involved and engaged in the session. When I was at the academy I learned to deal with people who had all different types of attitudes. For example we had the people who thought they had already made it and was not as hard working but we also had a lot that had a will to succeed and be the best. This means I had to learn ways in which to get the people who think they have made it to be more grounded as this will increase their efforts in matches and training if they have a will to
