The Importance of Review


The Importance of Review

When we lead a sports activity session it is important to reflect and review on our performance.

This is a quality of all effective sports leaders.

We should assess the following:

• Areas of Strengths (What we did well)

• Areas for Improvement (What we did not do so well)

• Development Plan (What do we need to do to improve)

Where Do We Get The Information From?

Sometimes it is hard to review a session based on what we remember. This is because we may forget some important parts.

We may need some help from other sources to help us in our review.

We can get help from a range of sources. These include:

• Feedback from our participants• Feedback from a supervisor or other observer• Video of the session• Audio recording• Personal logbook, coaching portfolio or diary

Can you think of any other sources of information?

Feedback from Participants

Perhaps the best place to get feedback about the quality of a sports activity session is from the people who participated in it.

Feedback from a Supervisor

Sports leader supervisors can be a useful sources of information, especially for developing sports leaders.

Supervisors are useful because they have more knowledge and experience than we do. They may see things that we have not seen and can give us a good insight into our performance.

Who would you like to be your sports leader

supervisor? Why is this?

Sports leader supervisors may use a sheet like this one to help them give helpful feedback.Click on the link to see an example of a Supervisor Observation Sheet.

A Sports Leader Logbook or Diary

It is a good idea for sports leaders to have a sports leader logbook or diary.This gives the sports leader to evaluate the session immediately afterwards, when it is fresh in their memory.

The sports leader can then go back to their inputs when planning what to do for the next session.This will also provide the sports leader with an opportunity to see any progress made over a period of time.

Identifying Areas of Strength

When the sports leader has collected a range of information about their session (from participants, from supervisor, from

logbook/diary) they can then use their own thoughts and feelings about the session to identify areas of strength.

When doing this the sports leader should ask themselves the following questions.

What did I do well in the session?

What parts of this session would I want to keep for future sessions?

What was good about my delivery of the session?

What was good about my planning of the session?

Identifying Areas of Strength

The sports leader can also use this information and process to identify areas for improvement.

When doing this the sports leader should ask themselves the following questions.

What did I not do so well in the session?

What parts of this session would I want to improve for future sessions?

What could be improved about my delivery of the session?

What was lacking about my planning of the session?

Result of Review

Areas of Strength

• Extrovert Personality

• Intrinsic Motivation

• Sense of Humour

• Good Structure of Session

Areas for Improvement

• No Cool Down/Evaluation

• Poor Health & Safety check

• Did not know about

participants specific needs

After the review the sports leader will be left with a list of areas of

strength and a list of areas to improve. For example:

The question now is….can do we improve our sports

leadership as a result of this?

Setting Targets for Improvement

Once areas for improvement have been identified then the sports leader must set targets to help achieve improvement.

Sports leaders can use the SMARTER acronym to help them set these targets.

Evaluation

An important part of being a sports leader involves reviewing and reflecting on sport activity sessions.

Developing sports leaders will benefit from using a range of sources to gain feedback about their session. These sources can include a supervisor, the participants and video recording.

This helps sports leaders identify areas of strength and areas for improvement.

Once these areas have been identified the sports leader must set targets to help them improve.

Sports leaders can use the SMARTER acronym to help them to set appropriate targets.
