Guided Discovery – what is it?
• Coach – Player Connection • Combination of information and questions • Holistic thought • Guiding the players • Empowerment “I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand’ - Confucius

The specific process has the following set of objectives: 1. To engage the player in a particular process of
discovery 2. To develop a precise relationship between the
player’s discovered response and stimulus (activity and/or question) presented by the coach
3. To develop sequential discovery skills that logically leads to the discovery of a concept
4. To develop the patience in both the coach and the player that is required for the discovery process

Asking Meaningful Questions
• Coaches must be skilled in the art of “asking meaningful questions.”
• This will give players the opportunity to practice problem solving and will help them to become more capable of solving problems that arise in games/competition.
“Asking the right questions takes as much skill as giving the right answers.” - Robert Half

Goals of Effective Questioning
• Actively involve players in the learning process • Enhance their task mastery • Enhancing their conceptual understanding • Promoting both simple (low-order) and
complex (high-order) thinking

“Why? And How? Questions enhance the players ability to make decisions one of the central goals of empowerment. It’s important for coaches to allow players to think about questions and help encourage them to answer. If players are having difficulty with the answer, a coach can redirect or rephrase a high-order question so they can think carefully about what has been asked.” -Dr. Lynn Kidman

Examples of Low Order Questions
• What part of the foot do you use to make a short pass?
• Where should you aim when shooting on goal?
• Coaches tend to ask low-order questions because they are easier.

Examples of High Order Questions
• How can we get the ball down the field quickly?
• Why should we play high-pressure defense? • It is important for coaches to understand both
types of questions and to apply them appropriately

Examples of Guided Questioning..
• In a 3v3 situation, what’s the best way to get the ball to your teammate? Let’s try it!
• What happens when you pass the ball behind your teammate? Let’s try it!
• Now if you want to make sure your teammate goes forward, where do you want the pass to go?

Positive Coaching Responses…
• Good idea! Can you show me? • Great….so how could we do it faster? • I like that answer…what other skill can we use
to get the ball to our teammates? • Now you’re getting the idea!

Pitfalls
• Players answer without real thought, they just call out catchwords or phrases they have heard from the coach
• Coach’s overuse of questions and/or mistimed or misphrased questions
• Coach’s use of rhetorical questions • The coach not giving the players enough time to
process the question • The coach asking too many questions sequentially

Summary
