Week Five

Week Five

On week 5 we looked at listening to music and how it was affecting her performance as well as decided on a 15 song playlist so that this was suited to what she wanted to listen to whilst she was performing.

The 15 songs I decided to choose were;

1. Ed Sheeran- I See Fire, 76 bpm
2. Drake- One Dance, 104 bpm
3. Ben Howard- Only Love, 80 bpm
4. Jake Bugg- Gimme The Love, 117 bpm
5. Ed Sheeran- Thinking Out Loud, 79 bpm
6. Sam Smith- Like I Can, 100 bpm
7. Chris Brown- Paradise, 130 bpm
8. Ben Howard- I Forget Where We Were, 118 bpm
9. Adele- When We Were Young, 111 bpm
10. Beyoncé- Drunk In Love, 140 bpm
11. Coldplay- Adventure Of A Lifetime, 112 bpm
12. London Grammar- Wasting My Young Years, 127 bpm
13. The Kooks- Naïve, 102 bpm
14. Arctic Monkeys- Are You Mine, 97 bpm
15. James Bay- Let It Go, 147 bpm

As this is Natalies desired playlist it means that she will enjoy listening to it hopefully keeping her focused and motivated when she is training, keeping the flow going for 20 minutes. This session was a one on one talking basis and lasted around 20 minutes. It took place in the netball hall so she was in a environment she was use to. During this session I told Natalie to write down her favourite songs in her own time before she came to the session and when she came we chose 15 songs out of the list she had made and we decided which ones would keep her pumped and suit what activity she was doing. Looking at the bpm of each song made us get on understanding into how she was going to feel whilst listening to this music and performing physical activity, most of the song she chose were quite slow meaning she wouldn't be as pumped as she should be, but since she was comfortable and liked the songs I let her choose them as these are the songs she had chosen.
