Session Evaluation
Today it was raining but as it is not windy i feel it is still apropreate for a basic heading session. The astro turf is quiet slippy so as I warmed up the group and reminded them to be careful. With help of the manager I split the group in to pairs with averagely the same height and ability, I then explained how to head a ball and the difference between a defensive and an attacking header. I decided as I didnt want to lose control of the group so early in my training session I would leave the questions to the end of the demonstration to ensure everybody understood. As the session went on i decided the pupils with more confidence and skill where to be given a harder target to try and improve concentration and motivation (Lavallee, 2004) to the task.
This session when well, as I worked with a democratic style last week I decided to do the same this week. They respond well and worked through out the session giving inputs when asked. I feel all objectives where met and there heading and control is improving which has been an on going problem over the last three weeks.
