Chloe Prior Unit 6 Assignment 3

Netball

Sport - Netball

Year - 7

Time - 30mins

Size - 8-10 pupils

Equipment: bibs, ball.

Warm Up:  2 minutes jog around the Astros, then stretching
Do two dodges:
1) In groups off two's each partner throws the ball to each other but slightly moving on the spot
2) the second dodge get into groups of four's, position yourselves in the shape of a triangle with a defender in the middle, each pupil on the outside has to throw the ball to someone else with the defender trying to catch the ball. one person can mark in the middle whilst the other pupils travel down the court (width ways) trying to get the ball in the hoop.

Put them into small groups of either 2 or 3, to do some techniques between them and then a 10 minute game at the end.

When it came to teaching the year 7s the plan I had planned out to teach them did not go all the way ahead. When it came to the lesson at first of all their teacher got them warmed up in partners and I ordered them into a semi-circle and gave them some stretching instructions. After they had done a warm up and some stretched I asked them to get into a pair and practise throwing the ball to each other for a few minutes just so that they hadn't forgotten the simple rules in Netball. I then asked them to get into five groups of five and to place themselves in a circle with a defender in the middle and to then get them to travel down the court.

What went well?
The two dodges which was a group of two throwing the ball then getting them into groups of 4-5 to get them used to travelling for the game ahead of them.

What would you change?
I would change the way the lesson was planned out as my plan did not go all to well and would rather of had a small group of the lesson rather than teaching all off them at once as in my plan I had planned out to have 8 pupils 10 maximum. As watching Miss take her own lesson as well as us teaching them too I learned the flexibility of a pe teachers job as she also had to put her own lesson planning into my plan as well as Caitlin's

How did the pupils behave?
The pupils behaved very well and was very content with me teaching them. They were all very respectful and polite and when we had done a big group game with three defenders in the middle I asked who would like to volunteer and a few of the girls did volunteer which was good so that I didn't have to pick on them.

Did I communicate clearly with my group?
Yes I communicated well with the group as I told them that when they had there little matches that they should communicate with each other and call there team names when they want the ball so that the ball is not just being passed around with no communication between the group. I also asked them questions on what they had recently been learning in netball.

How could your drills have been improved?

The first drill I had planned could have been more physical as it was only throwing the ball to each other. Instead I could have asked them to make their own drill but for me to still lead them as I did ask the group of girls what they had previously learnt in the lesson and I could have asked them to demonstrate what they have been taught and if they had made in mistakes I could have given them advise on how to correct them next time.

 

Or another drill I could have gone through with them was to show them some moves and for them to understand the basic rules of netball because when it came to the mini games when I was observing the three different groups some of them was making the mistake of moving when they had the ball.

 

 




The first dodge was to do chest passing to get them warmed up.

 

The second dodge was to get into groups of four with a defender in the middle of a triangle and to pass the ball around the edge but the defender must try and get the ball.





Feedback from students and teacher

 

 

During this coaching session I received feedback from students and my teacher to see how well I had done overall in the coaching session. From a few questions from the teacher whose class I had run she asked her pupils a few questions on how well I had done. My overall review on the session is that I had slightly gained confidence as it was my first time in teaching a session and will improve my confidence  in having more experience in teaching a lesson. My appearance in the lesson was I had my pe kit on to show them that i was part of the lesson and also had to remove any jewellery like watches bracelets and earrings to show the health and safety in pe. I also used the skills of health and safety in the coaching session, as I told the pupils to space themselves out during the warm-ups and also the activities, I also advised them that when they were passing the ball to their components that had to chess pass it carefully and to use eye contact. Miss.Haddock was the teacher whose class I had run and she gave me very good feedback and said that I was very organised in terms of what I wanted to do in the lesson and interacted with the pupils politely. I also received feedback from the pupils who said that they enjoyed the lesson and said that some of the routines that I had done was different, which they enjoyed. Seeing as Mr.Bidwell and Miss.Haddock watched me take the lesson they said that I needed to explain my instructions more clearly and also the demonstrations, and one thing that I could have maybe done was to tell the pupils 3 coaching points at the beginning of the lesson and to them quiz them at the end to see if they remembered so it would have slightly been an objective for them and I could have then asked them if they had met the objective.

Action Plan for the Future, 5 different things to improve on:
 One thing I would like to Improve on in the future is my confidence. I will need to gain more confidence when teaching a lesson, and to do this I would need to teach many more sessions and could also help some of the PE staff around the school and volunteer to help interact with the pupils.
My second improvement would be to be more organised in the lesson for the future. Although I was organised in the pervious lesson it is more professional to have more than one sport for the pupils to chose from, so they at least have an option of 2 then.
My third improvement to work on for the future is health and safety rules. It is professional to go through the health and safety rules before any session takes place so that the students know and also myself the rules to be safe in a lesson. I will also need to have an understanding that if a student was injured then I will need to know the basic rules of what to do and to help them and to also tell the rest of the pupils to help there peers in lesson if one is injured but it is only a minor injury.
My forth plan for the future is... professional conduct

Ryan Newby Unit 6 Assignment 3

•What went well?
In my session the things that went well where that everyone was moving and keeping active as it was a cold day. Firstly they was all listening so the session started quickly and they wasn't standing in the cold. After the warm up and me telling them what they will need to do in the first drill they started off slowly but then gradually got faster. They then started to play with one touch which made the session faster, minutes later I added a second ball and the session was even better because they was moving more and had to think what will happen after they passed the ball. The players had to run quicker because the second ball was introduced and then they enjoyed it more because they didn't have to wait for their next turn.

In the second drill I created a passing session where you would pass then receive the ball this was good for the group as it was a cold day and they was always moving. In the drill they passed and received the ball then set the ball to the person who was on the furthest who dribbled through cones. The drill went so I added a second ball to make the drill even quicker.

•What would you change?

The things that I would change in my coaching session is that I wouldn't give the group mints also not to have a drink in my hand while coaching the drill. Other than that I believe that the session went well and that I wouldn't need to change anything else.

•How did the pupils behave?

The pupils behaved very well and I believe this was because they was all taking part in the drill so they had no room to misbehave.


•Did you communicate clearly with your group?

As this was my first time taking a coaching session so I was nervous however I believe I communicated clearly with my group I understand this because the group didn't need to ask any questions so I take this as that I communicated clearly with my group. My teacher also said I communicated well with my group because I was commenting on what they was doing well throughout the session also after the drill I said to the group that they all worked well.

•How could your drills have been improved?

My drills could have been improved by having  taller cones this would have improved my drill because by having taller cones the players would need to make sure they worked round the cone and didn't knock it over.

Feedback students

I asked all of the students that I coached to give me feed back I gave them a feedback sheet and the responses that I got was that they would have liked to do a shooting drill however I was asked to create a passing drill. The other feedback was that they was cold when I was making my second drill I could of helped this by creating a small running drill they could do while I was making the second drill.

Feedback from teacher

The feedback that my teacher gave me was that I could have demonstrated the drill better also that when talking I could have been louder. I will improve this by making my demonstration clear next time also I will talk louder, I believe that the reason why I was slightly quite was because it was my first time taking a coaching session and next time I will be more confident when communicating.

Qualities and attributes

The qualities and attributes that I had when taking the drill was equality, organisation of equipment and knowledge. 

When I was taking the drill one of my targets was to make everyone equal. I done this by including everyone and talking to everyone.

Development plan for future

To improve my skills as a leader I will need to take more sessions. By taking more of the coaching session I will gain a lot of confidence because I will be talking to many people on a daily basic and this will improve my confidence when talking to people. Another way I can improve as a coach is by watching another coach, by watching another coach I will be able to takes notes of what they do well and how the pupils respond to them. This will improve my coaching skills because I will adapt the way I coach the students.

Chloe Prior Unit 6 Assignment 1

Mr Bidwell and Arsene Wenger

Attributes

Skills - communication : Mr.Bidwell has a importance of communication in his job as he teaches students so he has to communicate to his students. For example when he communicates to his pupils in a pe theory lesson he explains the objective of work and helps pupils to launch his pe website. Similarly Arsene Wenger also has to have good and clear communication skills as he is a manager and for his players he may have to speak of more than one language so he will have to know how to communicate in different languages for the players to understand.

Knowledge: Mr.Bidwell has to know the knowledge for pe as he is a teacher and needs to know the ciriculum of the learning to teach pupils and needs to know the basic knowledge for injuries and first aid techniques. Arsene Wenger also has to the knowledge of football as he manages it and is known as one of the most longest serving managers and is most successful in terms of titles that have been won. Both sports leaders also need to have a good understanding of the law and rules in the specific sport that are they are teaching or coaching.

Target Setting:  Arsene Wenger has the job to set targets for his players enabling them to play well and also for their training days he will set them a target for them to achieve before any game. Differently Mr.Bidwell doesn't necessarily set targets for his pupils. These targets are usually set for an end of term target so they have to be achieved by a certain time whereas Wenger sets his players targets for a game or during training.

Qualities - Appearance: Mr.Bidwell and Arsene Wenger have to both present themselves professional. Mr.Bidwell's appearance to his class indicates that he is a pe teacher by wearing a pe outfit with a logo of the John Warner School. This symbolises that he is a part of a member of staff as other teachers around school have to wear identification badges. Mr.Bidwell's uniform is a blue tracksuit with a John Warner Pe staff Jumper. All the uniform is blue to match with the pupils colour of uniform. Arsene Wenger varies his appearance for training and match games. For training he will wear a tracksuit as it is suitable for training his players as it is light and more comfortable and flexible to work around whereas if it was a match he would wear a suit as it looks more professional as a manager but some other football managers prefer to wear tracksuits for both training and matches as that is what they feel comfortable in.


Personality: There are two types of personality in sports, introvert and extrovert., In this case Mr.Bidwell and Arsene Wenger and two sports leaders who are both extrovert. Mr.Bidwell has an extrovert personality as he is a teacher who teaches a group of pupils. Arsene Wenger is the same as he works with a group of adults.

Leadership style: There are two leaderships in style in sport, autocratic and democratic. Wenger and Mr.Bidwell are both related in terms of leadership style as they both have to plan an activity, deliver the session and provided feedback. However for Mr.Bidwell his leadership in style is teaching students of a variety of ages ranging from 12 - 16 so he will need to deliver a sustainable lesson for the ages but with an older age group they may compromise with Mr.Bidwell in choosing a particular sport. As Wenger is a manager he will plan the activity for his players and then deliver he session but the session will be more related to training to get them to improve on their skills for big games.

Responsibilities:


Core Responsibilities - Health and Safety:The health and safety responsibilities for Mr.Bidwell and Arsene Wenger are very much the same, but for Mr.Bidwell circumstances he has a more wider range of health and safety skills as he works with children so there will be a boundary of health and safety.
For example in pe lessons he will tell his pupils that they will need suitable foot ware to avoid any injuries. However Arsene Wenger is very much the same for telling his players to come to training and for games in suitable foot ware but they also take the responsibility themselves as they are older members, but will then need to have health and safety skills incase any injuries are caused during training so he will need to know how to act and what to do during an injury.

Professional Conduct: Professional conduct is very important for a sports leader and they are both very similar for Mr.Bidwell and Arsene Wenger but with a slight difference. For both of the sports leaders at the very beginning of their jobs they would off signed a series amount of statements stating the dos and don'ts  of behaviour in a training session (Arsene Wenger) and in a PE lesson (Mr.Bidwell). As Mr.Bidwell works in a school evolved around students and also is a PE teacher.

Equality: Equality is important for Mr.Bidwell as a teacher as he is only interested in teaching his pupils and is not a teacher who judges his pupils on colour and is only there to teach them to their ability. Arsene Wenger is very much the same he does not judge his players he is only there to coach them and to look for the best player for them to develop more in football.

Wider Responsibilities - Child Protection: Child protection is very important for Mr.Bidwell as he is a teacher who works with children and for in the physical education area child protection is increasing as children need to be protected so,  Mr.Bidwell would of had a CRB check before he got his role as a PE teacher to insure that he has no previous and to reassure the school that he is a safe working teacher. However for Arsene Wenger he does not need the CRB check as he doesn't work with children but he will need to make sure that the coaches of the youth teams have had the check.

Caitlin Walton Unit 6 Assignment 1

Mr Bidwell and Arsene Wenger

Attributes - Skills
Communication: Mr Bidwell shows good communication skills when speaking to his pupils as a group. He needs to do this in order for all his pupils to know what they are doing and are able to do it confidently without asking for too much help. He also communicates with mostly young people and therefore changes his tone and language so it is understandable for younger people. Differently, Arsene Wenger only communicates with adults. Also, Wenger also has to communicate with a lot of players who do not speak English as their first language. However, Wenger is similar to Bidwell as they both have to communicate to a group rather than just individuals.

Organisation: Mr Bidwell and Arsene Wenger are very similar when it comes to being organised. Bidwell needs to make sure he has every lesson planned in advance and also needs to be prepared with the equipment he is using. Mr Bidwell also shows good organisation as he has a blog set up that is there to help his pupils with their work. Similarly, Wenger has to organise his training sessions, for example, he needs to plan the best drills that will help his players. Differently, Wenger has to organise his coaches that work for him.

Target setting: Mr Bidwell sets his pupils targets that are a little bit out of their reach in order for them to reach their potential, this is an important part of being a teacher. He also sets his pupils deadlines on coursework so that they keep on top of everything and also have their work done on time. In comparison, Arsene Wenger sets much bigger targets like ensuring Arsenal do well in the champions league because this brings a lot of money in for the club.

Attributes - Qualities
Appearance: Both Bidwell and Wenger have to present themselves professionally. For example, as a teacher, Mr Bidwell has to wear a sports kit that clearly represents the school he works at. Mr Bidwell does not need a identification badge because his kit clearly shows the school badge. Wenger similarly wears a sports kit when training his players but prefers to look smart at the games so wears a suit and tie.

Personality: There are two types of sport leader personality. Introvert and extrovert. Mr Bidwell and Arsene Wenger are both extrovert. Your personality type can be a key factor to success as a sport leader. Your leadership style will be determined by the type of personality you possess, you are likely to lead in a way that suits your personality type. Extrovert personalities are often found in team based sports. Both Mr Bidwell and Arsene Wenger are involved in team based sports. For Arsene Wenger, his job mainly involves coaching a team rather than individuals, whereas Mr Bidwell
also leads individuals as well as a team.

Leadership style: There are two types of leadership styles. Autocratic and democratic. Autocratic does not involve others in the decision making process, it is also task orientated then team orientated. Oppositely, democratic involves others in the decision making process and is interested in the team members as individuals, developing close personal relationships. In regard to Mr Bidwell and Arsene Wenger, Mr Bidwell would be more autocratic. This is because he generally makes decisions about his pupils on his own and is very focused on the task in hand. However, Wenger would be more democratic because he may ask other coaches for their opinion or advice before making decisions about his team. Also, Wenger does focus on his team as a whole but also focuses on the team members individually and tries to have a personal relationship with them all, possibly a friendship rather than just a manager, whereas this does not happen between a teacher and a pupil.  

Responsibilities - Core responsibilities
Personal conduct: This is an important part of being a sports leader. Both Mr Bidwell and Arsene Wenger know their limits when being a leader. This is more important for Mr Bidwell as he is a sports leader for only children. This means he needs to be more appropriate with things such as language. Whereas Wenger is leading a team of adults so he can be more humorous and possibly have friendships with them away from the pitch.

Health and safety: If sport leaders are to take responsibility for a training session then they are also taking responsibility for the group during that time. They should carry out the necessary checks of the equipment and facility to ensure that all performers are safe during psychical activity. This is not such a major pressure for Arsene Wenger because his team are adults so are more able to look after themselves. Whereas Mr Bidwell is responsible of the children during school hours so is responsible for their safety so is under more pressure to keep them safe.  

Equality: All performers are different and each has a variety of needs. However, whatever differences that performers come with they should have the same opportunities to develop and improve in sport. Therefore sports leaders should be working without prejudice and to eliminate discrimination. As Mr Bidwell works in a school and teaches children of all different ages and abilities, he needs to make sure that every pupil is getting the same opportunities to take part in things such as matches and games against other schools. For Arsene Wenger, he needs to make sure his team are getting equal playing time and that newcomers are not given less opportunities or feel left out of the team.

Responsibilities - Wider responsibilities
Child protection: Child protection is very important for Mr Bidwell because he works with children as his job. Mr Bidwell needs a CRB check before working with children to check there has been no problems in the past. On the other hand, this is not important to Arsene Wenger as he does not work with children. However, he will need to make sure that the coaches of the youth teams have undergone the check.

Legal obligations: Both Mr Bidwell and Arsene Wenger have legal obligations when doing the job they do. As we already know, Mr Bidwell needed to have a CRB check before working with children. This establishes whether there has been any problems in the past. This is an important matter because all pupils safe and trustworthy towards to their teachers. Wenger needs to have certain qualifications to be a top football manager. They include...:

• Level One
• Level Two - Certificate in Coaching Football
• Level Three - UEFA B Licence
• Level Four - UEFA A Licence
• Level Five - UEFA Pro Licence 

Rules and regularities: Rules and regularities are important for both Mr Bidwell and Arsene Wenger. Regarding Mr Bidwell, laws are often modified to make junior sport more enjoyable for the kids. However,  Mr Bidwell needs to make sure that the rules he makes are followed by the pupils. Arsene Wenger needs to make sure that his footballers all follow the football rules during a match to avoid things such as yellow and red cards.

Mauricio Pochettino- Manager/ Head Coach

Attributes:

● Skills (communication, organisation of equipment, knowledge)
Mr Bidwell has good communication skills with all of his pupils he uses easy language and this helps him communicate when explaining a session that he has planned. When teaching you will need to have good communication skills because you will have to talk to all of the students about the session that you have planned. If you don't have good communication skills the drill will not go as well because some people will not know what they have to do and they will not take part.

Mr Bidwell has good organisation skills because he is always prepared when taking a session if he wasn't organised then people could start messing around because the session and it would be hard to gain their attention when organised, being organised will start the session quicker and the students will get more from the session and they will not have to be waiting. Mr Bidwell is organised when playing football, he always has a pump and a spare football for if the ball is flat or when a ball is lost, this speeds up the session because he is prepared.

Mr Bidwell as a teacher needs to have a good knowledge of his student because he needs to know what level they are working because if some students are underperforming he will have to encourage them. Mr Bidwell will have to have a good knowledge of most sports because he teaches a wide range of sports, he will also need to know most of the rules in the sports he is teaching so the pupils understand the game.

Mauricio Pochettino has to have a very good knowledge of the game of football. He needs the knowledge of all of the rules and additionally he will need to how to coach the players and tell them what he wants them to do. Pochettion has other coaches that will have to carry the equipment so he wont have to worry about this however he will tell the other coaches his plans for the training sessions and then they will know what equipment they need. The coach will need to have good communication skills when talking to his players also he may need to speak a different languages because of players that he may have wanted to buy, for example he will need to know have to speak Spanish to have good communication.  
  

● Advanced skills (activity structure, target setting, use of language, evaluation)

The targets that Mr Bidwell is faced with is to get everyone in his class to reach their expected grade and if possible exceed their grade. Mr Bidwell sets small targets like finishing work at a deadline so he knows that the work will be finished on time.

Mr Bidwell uses easy language, he uses this language so he can communicate easily with all of his students. When using easy language it helps him say what he wants to say fast and efficiently.

Mauricio Pochettino's activity structure has to be good because the players will need to keep match fit. He will need to plan the activities that can relate to what the team will need to improve on for example defending corners he could set up a activity that will help the team on their defending also he may create a activity to suit a single player for example a defender may need to improve on his speed so a speed drill will be created to helps the players needs.

 Mauricio Pochettino will have a target setting to finish in the top four to get into the champions league also he will be set a target to keep as many clean sheets as possible. He will complete these targets by telling his team at the start of the season what is expected from them and they will be reminded every game of these targets.

● Qualities (appearance, enthusiasm, confidence)

As a teacher Mr Bidwell has to be confident, when taking a lesson he is always confident and makes everything clear.

● Additional qualities (leadership style, motivation, humour, personality).

Mr Bidwell uses humour when taking a session this helps the session flow as it breaks up the session from everything serious. You have to have a good personality when being a coach or a teacher because it will help you explain your session and it will help the session flow.

Pochettino will need additional qualities such as good motivation and he will need to have a good sense of humor. The reason why  Pochettino needs to be motivated is because if he is not motivated as the head coach the players and other coaches will not be motivated as well also if the team have recently lost a game he will have to motivate his players even more. Pochettino has to have a good sense of humor because it will help him communicate with his players also it will help break up the training sessions instead of the session being very serious without any breaks, humor within the team also brings team spirit  and every team needs this.

Responsibilities:

● Core responsibilities (professional conduct, health and safety, equality)

Mr Bidwell has a responsibility for everyone's health and safety and he has to make everyone in the group equal. When teaching Mr Bidwell has to stay professional he does this by making everyone equal and including everyone in all activities.
