Mental skills workshop

Hey girls we're gearing towards the end of NTL. No im not celebrating yet. since u girls have the tendency to disappear after NTL. just a reminder of things that are on the list post NTL.

1. Coyotes Annual Awards Ceremony - will be held after the last day of NTL. everyone should be present cos der's an award for everyone.

2. SRC year end party - this is for everyone a div, b div and men. Again everyone to be present. (effort has been put into this. the least u can do if u're not involved in the planning is to turn up)

3. Beach touch - Since some of you have requested to start your own teams i'll oblige. But i wanna make sure that everyone who wants to be involved be involved and i dun want anybody to be left out. those are my wishes.

4. mental skills workshop - Now THIS is my pet project for you guys. THanks to all those who are responsible enough to get back to me. so far i haf recieved 5 yes and no replies to the rest. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF u get back to me on this. it is really important that everyone gets involved in this. reply to me personally on text or at reply at this blog for ur attendance.

Again please let me remind you that this workshop is free. usually it costs alot to engage someone to conduct this for a team. So if u want to improve on ur performance or just want to get more info on how to get out more from ur performance or... (u just blardy turn up cos i went to soo much trouble for u guys) u noe its good for u reply back asap. it'll be conducted during our training sessions up till nov. so it does not really get in the way of ur busy schedules.

Here are the topics that will be covered:


1. Personal Power
This topic focuses on the power within the individual to make decisions appropriately. Some sub-components of this topic include, Pain-to-Power Vocabulary, Application of method to strengthen this personal power, Identifying Internal Blocks and Internal Voices and Reframing Techniques. This topic focuses on the individual and their drive to do their best.

2. PERCEPTION
Understanding perceptual processes and the effects of perception on their performance as a team are primary focuses. This topic can also increase group cohesion and encourage team bonding.

3. GOAL-SETTING
Different theories such as Achievement-Motivation Theory and Expectancy Theory would be discussed. Types of Goals and other components of goal setting would be included. Through this topic, team members would be more informed about goal-settings and the principles involved. With a better understanding, the team members would be more inclined to practise this skill.

4. IMAGERY
This topic focuses on how visualisation can lead to better performance. Team members can gain a better understanding about the importance of mental training.

5. ATTENTIONAL CONTROL
This topic focuses on controlling attention. Theories that would help the athletes focus better, would be discussed. Better focus would mean a more accomplished training or game.

Other topics such as how learning occurs and self-talk would be included in some or all the topics mentioned above, to help explain the topics better.
All of these topics would utilise power point presentation and handouts. Some of them would require group work and activities that help illustrate the application of the skill better. In some cases, videos or music can be used to stimulate the participants and allow them to understand a topic better.
A detailed mapping of activities and notes for each topic would be prepared once the placement and the duration have been confirmed.

Cheers

GOOD luck to all coyotes for tomorrow's Game!!
