Kinesiology Graduate/Coach teaching basketball, baseball, volleyball, soccer and golf fundamentals, advanced technical/tactical skills

Methodology

My teaching methods specifically depend on the athletes and the sport I coach. Every athlete learns effectively in a specific and unique way. It is my job and responsibility as a coach and educator to get to know and understand the athletes, what they wish to improve in their sport, how they prefer to be taught, i.e. teaching approach. Therefore, I have a very flexible coaching style that differs based on the specific needs of every team/athlete.
I try to give as much positive and constructive feedback as possible, however for me it is important to allow the athletes time to execute drills and perform their sport skills in order for them to develop the autonomy to resolve their own mistakes by emphasizing decision-making.
I use a lot of questioning feedback techniques to my athletes in order to put them in context about their performance. This allows them to develop adequate problem-solving skills and creativity.

Background

I am a recent graduate of the University of Ottawa with an Honors Bachelor of Human Kinetics with specialization in social sciences, coaching and teaching.
My studies during my honor's bachelor degree program include learning the concepts of effective coaching, teaching, designing sport programs and training plans based on the specific characteristics of the athletes and the sport.
I will further continue my studies at Brock University to receive certification in Consecutive Teacher's Education, with emphasis on Health and Physical Education.
I have worked in sport summer camps and other official sport programs for 10 years, coached multiple sports for 6 years, and have been playing multiple sports almost all of my life.
I have a tremendous passion for playing, watching and coaching sport that exceeds all my other interests.
