Coaching Log – Athlete Observation

Date 10/12/2014

Location Waterhall, Brighton (Worthing College v Merrist Wood)

Strengths I watched Oscar from the side-line meaning I have the full aspect of evaluation when observing his performance. This is better than observing through video analysis as you can take all other factors into consideration. Also you can analyse things that you can’t through video analysis such as communication.

Improvement Areas

I could use video analysis to select from a range of games that Oscar has played in to observe and identify the similarities and differences between performances.

Points for future discussion

Watch Oscar play at a higher standard than Worthing college men’s 1XI and see the differences in his performance and see how it affects his scores for traits of excellence.

Coaching Log – Athlete Profiling Meeting

Date 16/12/2014

Location Worthing College

Discussion points

We discussed the athlete perceived level of importance for each of the individual traits for excellence. Then we discussed on his athlete’s elf assessment which is how well he thinks he performs at out of 10 for that trait of excellence. A final discrepancy score was then calculated and the highest six traits for excellence were areas for testing as they were the weakest.

Concerns There was no concerns

Points for future discussion

Make the athlete’s profile meeting longer to allow extra allocation for discussion on different performances to encourage similarities and differences to be made.

Coaching Log – Coach Profile Meeting

Date 16/12/2014

Location Worthing College

Discussion points

We only analyzed one of Oscar’s performances in a match and not additional performances. This hindered us to have comparisons or differences between performances which would help to define the player Oscar is even more.

Points for future discussion

Have a meeting to score Oscar’s traits for excellence on a regular basis to record any development made through games and training.
