3 Task 13: Coaching Programme One To complete this task, you are required to plan, deliver and evaluate a coaching programme. To support the completion of this task, 1st4sport, in partnership with the RFU, have developed a progressive series of tasks: Ref. Task Overview 13a Risk Assessment Complete for every venue used for coaching. 13b Performance Benchmarks Identify benchmarks to compare against participant performance. 13c SWOT Analysis and Testing Mechanisms Evidence SWOT analysis of participant performance, which will help to inform a development action plan. 13d Action Plan A series of actions for participant development; long-, medium- and short-term targets. 13e Support of Others Identify what support from others is required to aid participant development. 13f Annual Coaching Programme Develop an overview annual programme with key dates and phases. 13g 13h 13i Phase Planning Weekly Plans (1 8) Individual Session Plan: Strength Speed/Agility/Endurance Detailed phase planning for the annual programme above for: general preparatory; specific preparatory; pre-competition; competition and transition. Choose an eight-week period from the annual programme and develop eight weeks worth of weekly plans. Develop and deliver the individual session plans that support the whole of the chosen eight weeks. 13j Individual Session Evaluation After the delivery of each individual session, complete an evaluation of that session. 13k 13l Participant Evaluation Summary Coaching Programme Evaluation Complete participant evaluations to review progress against agreed targets within the action plan developed earlier. After the completion of the eight weeks of delivery, evaluate the success of this, along with how you felt about the completion of this task. Templates are provided to support the completion of this task in a paper-based format within this Pack and also available electronically on the disc enclosed with your Learner Pack.

If you require additional space, please use the notes pages provided within this Pack and clearly reference your work. 49 Product ref. L3CCSCQ 3.4b

4 Task 13a: Risk Assessment Complete a risk assessment for each venue to be used during the coaching delivery. If more than one venue is used, you will need to copy and complete additional risk assessments.

Yes/No Yes/No Yes/No Evacuation procedure: Product ref. L3CCSCQ 3.4b 50

5 Task 13b: Performance Benchmarks Conduct research to identify performance benchmarks within your chosen sport and at the level appropriate to the participant you plan to coach. In the space below, write down the expected physical standards that apply to your chosen sport for the following levels: International: National league: Provincial/county: Local: Conduct research to establish the current performance benchmarks in your sport at the appropriate level, and write down the expected levels in the following fitness areas: Strength: Speed: Endurance: Describe clearly the methods of measurement/tests that can be used to support benchmarking: 51 Product ref. L3CCSCQ 3.4b

6 Task 13c: SWOT Analysis Complete a SWOT analysis with the participant(s) you plan to coach. This should focus on the following areas: technical ability tactical awareness nutritional support psychological and welfare needs physiological needs covering: - metabolic (to include energy systems, where appropriate) - strength (to include maximum strength, power, power endurance, where appropriate) - speed (to include starting speed, maximum speed, sport-specific speed, where appropriate) - flexibility/mobility - prehabilitation, injury prevention and rehabilitation - recovery and regeneration assessment of the overall coaching programme (periodisation, mesocycle length, order etc, plus any tapering and peaking). This SWOT analysis should be supported with testing mechanisms used (eg bleep test results for endurance testing, interview for psychological needs profile, food diaries for nutritional analysis, video analysis). Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats Product ref. L3CCSCQ 3.4b 52

7 Task 13c: Testing Mechanisms Evidence Place all evidence of measuring performance that contributed to the completion of the SWOT analysis in the table below. Evidence Number Evidence Description Product ref. L3CCSCQ 3.4b

8 Task 13d: Action Plan Based on the performance benchmarking and SWOT analysis carried out earlier, create an action plan. This action plan should identify a series of primary and secondary goals that have been agreed with your participant. It is important to be aware that these goals should be given a realistic timescale for achievement. Do not set your participant up to fail (consider SMART). Primary Objectives Secondary Objectives Review Dates and Mechanisms Short term: (define) Medium term: (define) Long term: (define) Product ref. L3CCSCQ 3.4b 54

9 Task 13e: Support of Others As a Level 3 coach, you are responsible for coordinating a larger coaching programme. This may mean you require the support of others to aid in participant achievement/success. In the table below, explain how the following people can support the identified participant goals. Nutritionist Psychologist Analyst Physiotherapist Physiologist Sport-specific specialists Other (please specify) 55 Product ref. L3CCSCQ 3.4b

10 Task 13f: Annual Coaching Programme Using all information gathered earlier, now complete an outline annual coaching programme, known as a macrocycle. Within this macrocyle, you are required to identify key dates your participant will need to attend (this could include competition, training camps etc). This should then aid the process of outlining the different phases within the programme (general preparatory phase, specific preparatory phase, pre-competition phase, competition phase and transition phase). In addition to the identification of the above phases, you are required to demonstrate an understanding of using appropriate training volume (V) and intensity (I) to aid participants in achieving optimal performance.

11 Task 13g: Phase Planning Progressing from the annual coaching programme, you are required to develop a more detailed phase planning overview for each identified phase (general preparatory phase, specific preparatory phase, pre-competition phase, competition phase and transition phase) and describe the purpose and aims of each. This should then develop blocks of 2 6-week mesocycles. Using the charts below, represent each phase of the coaching programme. Each chart may represent the individual phases within the overall coaching programme (illustrated below) or can be adapted to represent a specific area of training (eg strength [learner to develop]). General Preparation Phase (GPP) Training volume (bar chart): Training intensity (line graph): Week Describe the particular aims of the phase and each mesocycle within the phase: Specific Preparation Phase (SPP) Training volume (bar chart): Training intensity (line graph): Week Describe the particular aims of the phase and each mesocycle within the phase: 57 Product ref.
