Chapter 9 Assignment: Workshop: Competition Behavior - Day 2 - Part 2
This is continued from the previous weeks. You are an athletic director at a school and level of your choice (youth-sports organization, high school, or college) and are preparing to hold a pre-school retreat for your coaches. Using the chapter 9 worksheets, plan this section of the workshop that will help your coaches direct their energy during competitions using 3 important coaching tasks (the 3-E’s). This part is 3-hours long and begins day 2 after lunch. This concludes day 2.
Include the following: A schedule of activities with estimated times, descriptions, purpose of the activity, and rationale for using the activity. Additionally, prepare a PowerPoint presentation, list of videos with links (including a short description and purpose), and an assessment survey to determine the effectiveness of this part of your workshop. All of this should be in one document - do not upload more than one document. You may have to convert all documents to PDFs then merge the PDFs.
