Unit title: Practical sports coaching .
Assignment title: Improving and adapting coaching techniques .
In this case study we had to demonstrate a skill/technique that was as close to a perfect working model and then teach this skill to another person. I chose to teach my partner Rick how to do a golf swing.
To help us with this assignment we had the skill video recorded so that we could look at what positives and negatives there were to the skill.
Rick had never played golf before in his life, so we had to start of by teaching the correct grip.
The next step was to get his stance correct, with his arms and legs in the right positions.
Once we had the fundamental basics it was his chance to try a swing. The out come was surprisingly good for a first time swing.
Here is a model of what Ricks swing looked like before any coaching.
