2. 1 athlete with disability
Once you have developed a 4 weeks Program for each of the above 2 scenarios, including the
Written Reports, you will need to develop in details 1 training session of your choice, from 1 of the 2
Programs that you developed, to be practically delivered and conducted before your trainer. (You

During the practical session, you will need to collect feedback from your participant/s. This
information will help you to write a brief program evaluation paragraph to be submitted to your
trainer as evidence.

Demonstrating the safe use of equipment such as helmet, protective wear and other
equipment to the children. Also, showing them the safe practices for the activities in
the training as well as the unsafe practices that can cause injuries. Participants who
are more experienced can help in the demonstration. This can be followed by
evaluating each participant, whether they have understood and can follow those
instructions. The team captain can also help to ensure that everyone understood
the instructions.
3. Deliver engaging presentation of your session to support coaching
The children would need motivation and encouragement to participate, but more
importantly, they should be engaged in a fun way, that would draw their
enthusiasm. Involving small games and involving positive reinforcements for good
behavior and good performance can further improve their participation. Acting as a
positive role model, encouraging meaningful conversations, showing my own
interest in sports and helping children to improve their fitness can also help the
children to participate in the program wholeheartedly.
4. Analyze individual participant and group progress against program goals and apply
appropriate strategies to address performance issues.
