This document contains workings, explanations and solutions to the PYC4812 Assignment 2 (QUALITY ANSWERS) 2024. For assistance call or us on 0.6.8..8.1.2..0.9.3.4.... The psychology of coaching is fundamentally a group of strategies that are developed to assist the coaches to increase their ability to influence the behaviour of players efficiently. You are required to interact with a coach over a period. It can either be a team or individual sport coach. You must go through various stages of the project which also include reading prescribed and recommended readings. Thereafter, you are required to compile a report about your experience with a coach. The main purpose of this assignment is to introduce you to the working context of a sport psychologist and the academic literature on sport psychology and coaching. The final report that you submit for assignment 02 will be the product of your interactions with a coach and having consulted various recommended readings. In order to assist you to plan and structure the report, we have suggested below the specific outline of your report. It consists of five sections with each section reflecting a different stage of your work. You should use the outline as a checklist when compiling the report. The assignment will be marked using a rubric which will be posted on myUnisa. The rubric is designed to reflect each aspect of the instructions and you may easily lose marks for omissions. So, pay careful attention to the instructions. Marks will also be awarded for attention to technical aspects (formatting, grammar, referencing) and for creativity. • The final report – outline Section A: Initial contact(s) with a coach - one typed page This section describes your initial contact(s) with a coach, where you form a working relationship and a conversational context with the coach, in order to collaborate with him/her in removing obstacles to coaching the team. If possible, you must also spend some time observing the coach in action (i.e. coaching the team). Please be careful to consider ethical guidelines in reporting on your project. This section includes the following: ▪ background information about the coach ▪ a description of the contacts - where, when, and so on Downloaded by Corona Virus () lOMoARcPSD| ▪ your impression of the coach’s reaction to the meeting ▪ an “intake summary” ▪ identified areas for intervention and justification for this focus Section B: Literature research – maximum of two typed pages This section is a description of the second stage of your project, where you consult the recommended literature on performance enhancement, in order to describe any ideas/techniques/interventions that could be of benefit to your coach. The main outcome of this section should be a description of the ideas/techniques/interventions that you think may be used to enhance the coaching style. You should also motivate why they could be of benefit to the coach, using appropriate literature. Section C: Intervention – maximum of two typed pages This section describes the interaction with the coach during which you give him/her advice on what you have discovered in Section A and Section B.

However, please note that because you are not a qualified psychologist, you are not in the position to formally implement any of the ideas/techniques/intervention with your coach. This section includes the following: ▪ description of how the intervention was introduced ▪ description of the reaction of the coach to the intervention (e.g. how receptive was the coach to your suggestions) ▪ few general insights that you gained during this session about interacting with an coach Section D: Feedback – maximum of one typed page In this section you must describe feedback that you receive from your coach, four weeks after the intervention session described above.
