Behaviour Management
WRCFA In-Service CPD
Workshop
27th November 2014
Aims & Objectives
• Understand how effective behaviour
management can maximise the effectiveness
of your coaching sessions.
• Highlight through practical delivery how
behaviour management strategies can free
you up to coach rather than worry about
behaviour.
Managing the Session
Do you ever feel like you’re spinning multiple plates
within your coaching session?
Thought…
“The only persons behaviour
you can control is your own.”
(Merfyn Roberts)
Thought…
“When students behave inappropriately
give them what they don’t want – a cool,
mechanical, emotionless response. Save
your emotion, passion, enthusiasm and
excitement for when it has most impact.
When students behave appropriately”
(Paul Dix)
4 Corner Model
Which corner would Behaviour
Management fall into?
Question…
What does poor behaviour look
like within your coaching
sessions?
Poor Behaviour
Anything which affects the H & S of participants.
Bullying – verbal & non-verbal.
Disruptive – does it affect other peoples learning?
Know the individual and how they respond, react
and learn.
Group Task:
Discuss with the person next to you factors
which could contribute to poor behaviour
within your team coaching sessions.
Factors
External?
Or
Internal?
PRACTICAL DELIVERY

laminated headings to make notes that
will contribute to the discussion once

SEEKERS
Strategies
1) Construct a positive learning environment, whereby the
players are involved within the session though decision
making, ownership and responsibility.
2) Don’t ignore the learners – should we spend most of our
time with those doing the wrong things?
3) Get the players on task – don’t give them time to mess
about, provides opportunities for the learners to be straight
on task.
4) Use effective communication i.e. Q&A, challenges, 1:1
interventions to support the players engagement
within the session.

poor behaviour is exhibited within
