Using Interests concretes learning !
Working with children for many years, you begin to learn how to get them engaged and reinforce their learning. An important part of this is using their interests to spur on curiosity and direct the foundation of teaching.
However as I teach my trainee coaches it’s also about knowing a child’s learning style. I always ask parents before children start “what are their learning styles?” Is it creative, scientific, kinaesthetic, talking based etc. This way you are able to gauge and plan out appropriately. There is nothing worse than being a boring coach 😂 in my opinion that is.
This is most likely why my clients are practically minded are share my neurospice flare !
Look at this activity for example, can you guess what the interest is ?😂 So we were discussing the nervous system states, quite in depth, but simply framed as, you have attackers (Sympathetic) and defender (parasympathetic). We were able to talk through brain states that then led to the players pushing either way and work on the tools defenders could use to calm the nervous system !
Creative coaching is the one, I feel I need to start making a book/resource of these ideas ? What do you reckon ?
Have a beautiful day people 🧡
