football coach assignment


Football Coach Assignment
 
            First of all – I will be silent and I will let him express his feelings ie., why he is not getting penalty kicks. I will give him some time to think about it.
            Then I will acknowledge his feelings, and accept him as he is. I will empathize his feelings. The next step is providing data to him by asking effective questions, like –
a) what all he can observe (like goalkeeper's position, net, ball)
b) where and in which direction he should hit to get the penalty kick
c) how did he hit penalty kicks earlier
d) how would he like to analyze it
            I will let him visualize the picture by taking him through guided visualization. Then I will encourage him by saying he can do it, giving cheers etc.
            In the meantime, if he has any questions regarding how to go about it, I can clarify his doubts by asking questions and giving examples how he did it earlier etc. Hope this will motivate him to reach his goal.
            Finally, for me, if he finally gets or doesn't get the penalty kicks doesn't matter. I'm satisfied the way what all process went in his mind. That process is more important to me, not the final product.
I'm more confident of him that finally he gets the penalty kick.
