Why do this? Further develop your skills as a reflective practitioner o Peer and/or mentor input o more importantly empowerment & development as a self- reflective practitioner

Self-reflection

Self-reflection

Why is reflection important? It’s the heart of the learning process! Regulation of thoughts, feelings & actions Links experience and knowledge and enables adjustments to be made During event reflection – we do this all the time!

Why is reflection important? Post-event reflection o Not done in detail as often as we should o What happened in the session in relation to the aims o Needs time and space to be more considered o e.g. could you have used a different drill, cue or explanation to get a better response from the athlete/s o Action plan based on reflection

Reflection exercise Think of a scenario that has happened recently in your coaching and summarise this for someone to read (bullet points) Share this with someone nearby……

How far round the reflection wheel did they get?

What we need to reflect well Issue identification – often a gut feeling Self awareness (hence the self analysis handouts) Critical assessment o During activity – surface & preliminary o Post activity – involves more searching of relating feelings & knowledge Leads to deeper analysis & often a clearer way forward Challenging personal assumptions Advice from peers or experts Finding new knowledge o Experimentation o Evaluation

Personal Analysis Who you are and what you aims are What you see as your strengths and development needs
