Coach should provide demonstrations and
Help the player explore and self-discover how
offer simple explanations to introduce and
to perform the task
explain activities.
Help the learner refine and apply the skills
into game scenarios

task
Coach provides more delayed positive,
specific and corrective feedback, and
greater emphasis is placed on using open
questions to encourage C&YP to analyse
their own performance and identify areas
for improvement.
Young People (YP) need to become less
reliant on feedback from the coach, coach
should maximise the opportunities for YP
to take responsibility evaluating
performance and setting new personally
relevant targets and goals.
