frequency
of correction.Slide8
ObjectivesContentIdentify the topic or issue that the feedback will be about and provide
the specifics of what occurred.
Manner
Manner is how you say the constructive feedback. As you may know, how you say something often carries more weight than what you have to say — manner is an important element when giving feedback.
Timing
As soon as ready. Consider that the incident may be easier to correct when feedback is
given in real-time, as close as possible to when the mistake
occurs.
Frequency
Try to respond
to
athletes playing well just as
much as you
comment on their mistakes. Slide9
The 6 Step Method Tell
players
the
purpose of your feedback
Describe
the specifics of your observations
State
your experience of what you’ve observed and how it affects the
team
Give
players an opportunity to respond
Give
specific suggestions and
direction
Summarize
the discussion and give supportSlide10
Praise SandwichA verbal sandwich that consists of two parts of praise surrounding a slice
of
direction.
Athlete realizes that you obviously think they’re a good
player.
They
have heard
your direction
about becoming a better player.
Praising them again provides the inspiration and motivation for him to go out and work on those new skills.Slide11
ExampleA slice of praise:
“Ashton,
there's no question that you've
developed great dribbling skills. When you have space you can dribble with speed and beat defenders.”
A
slice of constructive
direction:
“If
you can become as good at passing the ball as well as
dribbling it, you can be much more successful on the field. Dribble until you have used your space then look for a teammate. Once you pass it, move to receive the ball again.”
The
final bit of
praise:
“When you
master both the
dribbling and
the passing aspects
we’ll be able to possess the ball better as a team and have more opportunities to score goals. You’ll become a well rounded and dangerous player”Slide12
