Activities to complete -hope you enjoy them – we can’t wait to welcome you to the course and start our coaching journey.
1. Planning a Warm-up (Word Document) – Plan a 20-minute warm-up you would deliver to a group of primary school children. Make sure it keeps them active and involves play and

fun games. Include all the following: equipment needed / time on each activity / how you would keep them safe / rules and instructions for each activity.
2. Coaching Qualifications - make a folder for coaching courses on your tablet / computer – Visit 2 governing body websites (these are the organisations that run the sport in the U.K.) and find out about the coaching courses they offer. Save all the information into a folder – include as much information as you can, what will you learn? How much does it cost? How long does it take? How will you be assessed?
See these websites for ideas – www.theFA.com/learning/courses

3. Fitness Activities – Look at the following fitness activities – Circuits / Yoga / Pilates / Resistance Training / Cardio Training / Crossfit Training. Choose 3 activities you think you would enjoy and find an online session for each that you can do! YouTube is a good place to look. Complete each session – review each session. How well did you do? What was good about the session? What would you improve? What type of sports people would it be good for?
4. Careers in Sport Folder – Complete a C.V. - if you already have one update it to include your grades from school and your course at TRC. Here is a template you can download and use.https://www.totaljobs.com/advice/non-graduate-first-job-cv-template
There is lots of useful advice here on our TRC Careers website, have a look at careers you might be interested in.https://www.trc.ac.uk/careers/
5. Careers in Sport continued – Create a folder on your tablet / computer to save some information about jobs you might be interested in e.g. Sports Coach, P.E. Teacher, Sports Fitness Trainer. Look at the following websites and find a job advert for each. What qualifications / experience do you need? What would typical day be like? What is the pay?

7. Barriers to participation (Disability) - Watch the following YouTube clip on disability and Sport.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjZQwoR2Bkg
Using disability as your focus, what do you think the reasons are as to why people with a disability do not get involved with sport?If you were in charge of a sport’s governing body (such as the FA, RFU, LTA, ICC, AENA) what would you do to encourage more people with a disability to become involved in your sport (Coaching, facilities, finance etc.)
8. Practical Sport Performance - For a sport of choice (choose your favourite sport / the sport you are good at).Choose a skill from your sport (e.g. passing, throwing, tuck jump, head stand, bowling, forehand stroke). Video yourself on your phone doing this skill – how does your skill look in comparison
to that of a professional athlete? Write down the key coaching points that enable you to carry out this skill (e.g. arms out
for balance, non-striking foot next to the ball, keep back straight, arm brushes your ear)4
Devise and draw out a coaching drill / practice that enables you to perform your skill

12. Getting ‘Ready to Learn’ – Make sure all your work is saved, backed up and in organised folders. Get yourself an A4 folder with dividers. You will be working on more than one task /
topic at a time with different teachers so it will pay to be organised. Your folder is a place to save your notes, assignments and handouts.
Get yourself an A4 pad – you will be note-making in class and these notes will help you to complete your assignments to the highest standard.
Pens! Many of our students use different colours and highlighters to make notes This helps them to plan their work and understand their class notes when they look back over them.
Kit for practical classes – no need to go out and buy extra but plan with what you have. You will be doing a variety of sports and fitness work so will need kit to participate and coach in.
Finally, get a whistle! This will help enormously when it comes to taking sessions.
