Week One

Week One


I decided to do 6 different session all either in the gym or on the netball court, these 6 sessions lasted around 2 hours with a 15 minute break in-between, as well as water breaks as often as she needed them, this in turn all helped Natalie when it came to developing her fitness. The testing I am doing will take part in both the gym and on the netball court, so that I am able to target her fitness as well as make it sports related and bring her team in so she can start performing with her team and getting use to that, hopefully managing to put her in a game environment. The strategies I will be using during this 6 week log are Music in sport and goal setting. The reason as to why I chose these two was because with music in sport this will be able to keep her motivated and relaxed, and as she hates fitness even though it is an important aspect within netball she need to stay fully motivated and music will help her with this. As well as music, goal setting can also be used to up her motivation and performance as I am setting sport specific goals that if she stuck to would increase her performance and when she completes a goal, if I give her rewards this will motivate her to stick to the goals, I just have to make sure that they are positive and I apply specific and positive feedback, always making sure that when I get her, her areas for improvement I finish it with a positive so that she still feels good about herself and her performance. The reason I didn't choose any of the other strategies such as self talk or breathing methods was because Natalie said that she didn't struggle with nerves or anxiety before a match so this was pointless as this mainly involved decreasing both these problems where as Natalie said she struggles with motivation and her last coach never really did that so I thought that music in sport and goal setting were the perfect strategies to increase her motivation.
