My BANES X-Country Contribution

Review

My contribution to the BANES X-Country was to make sure that the participators are heading for the correct route. I also had to motivate and encourage the participants to complete the course.

Thoughts & feelings:

Personally i thought the whole event went very well and according to plan. Everyone knew where they where running , so that means the course was clearly set out appropriate.I think that everyone showed good excellence and also determination as people were eager and determined to finish the race.

How you completed your job:

I completed my job successful to my recommendation as nothing went wrong , Me and Alfie Banks directed the participators to the finish line (the destination). We had good communication skills with the competitors which was great.

Improvements to make to the competition and contribution:

The improvements that could be made to the competition could be that the officials have a communication source , such as walkie talkies. Also the course could be more interesting, even though its on a playing field it, we can choose a different destination if possible.

Final Write-Up

Overall Write-up

I have now finished visiting primary schools in bath in relation to the PE Olympic Values. Our last school was ‘Oldfield park’, its was the best school I have coached throughout the whole scheme, I was really pleased with the children on that day, well behaved and all participated in the courses set-up. Once again they all understood and shown ‘inspiration’ on that day; it was magnificent.

I felt like I achieved my goal  set last time which was be louder and explain the course more clearly to the children.

Overall ,   I really enjoyed myself through the whole festival and earned a great amount of skill as being a head coach , especially my confidence , I can run a circuit and not get nervous or occur any faults which I am happy with.

I’d like to do this again sometime later in the sixth form year; it was a fantastic experience, a smashing time!

My Coaching Review From Alfie Banks

Alfie Banks Review For Me ( Reuben caven )

St Phillips Primary School

My task was to observe Reuben Caven as this session he took the leading role of coaching our 'Insperation.' I think he did really well presenting the topic and the meaning of it, also he was friendly with the children and shown a great deal of standards as a coaching leader. Well done Reuben.

Things I think he could improve next time is...

- When communicating with the children increase your volume.
- Explain the instructions more clearly.
- Work out a plan when specific children do not want to participate in the session. (meaning encourage their friends)

Personal Evaluation

My Own Evaluation:

Today I was taking on the role as a head coach for St. Phillips Primary School; this was part of our unit 23. It included handling with great responsibilities and certain skills, such as communication. Not only did I take on the head coach role but I had Alfie Banks assessing my coaching abilities. Also to include I had to teach the children what ‘Inspiration ‘means as it is part of our Pe Olympic Value festival objectives.

To be honest, I think I done pretty well at the head coach role as I felt confident when teaching the children, I explained the tasks carefully and making sure the children wasn’t at a health & safety risk.

Things that went well

Personally what I think went great was:

ü  Communication skills – Explaining how the tasks work, what I am looking for.

ü  Teaching- All the children understood clearly what they had to do and what the term ‘inspiration’ means.

ü  Confidence- my confidence went well , I didn’t struggle at any point in the festival , handle everything smoothly

ü  No faults- Nothing went to disaster whilst doing the festival, none of the children were miss behaving which was fantastic!

All these points above show that I have successfully accomplished the role of being a head coach.

But there are still other things I can improve on such as:

Ø  Louder communication- my voice wasn’t quite, but it wasn’t loud enough, I need to be a louder motivator.

Ø  Sort children in to groups quicker

Overall, the day went great, I really enjoyed myself; all the children have had fun and enjoyed my course. It was a smashing day!

Today I had to observe Alfie Banks on how well he done in his coaching roles. The reason I had to observe him was because our sport diploma group had to take on a challenge to see how well we do when coaching by ourselves. The Olympic Value today was Inspiration.

Hi Alfie, outstanding job today at St.Michels School you really took on the responsibilities quite well and accomplished great amounts of skills. You got on with the task straight away and every single pupil had good fun and left the station with joy and laughter.
