task 03 (P1)
Think of three successful sports coaches. For each leader, identify the key characteristics of their appearance. What do they wear? How do they look? Take their picture and describe whether or not you think they demonstrate a positive or negative appearance to the sports performers they influence and develop. You can either use MS Word or MS PowerPoint to document your findings.
task 04 (P1)
Each individual has their own individual personality. Those personalities come across when they lead sports activities and motivate others. Their personality will determine which leadership style they adopt. They will either be an Autocratic, Democratic or Laissez-Faire leader. Research these three leadership styles and describe what they are. Note down the advantages and disadvantages of each style. You can document this in any way you wish. At the end of your document, explain which leadership style best describes you and your personality.
task 05 (P1)
Personalities play a large part in athletes and compeitors alike. They are usually extroverts or introverts. Make a list of ten famous sports performers. Place each one of the sports performers into categories of introvert or extrovert and put them in a table. Next to the performer add which sport they compete in. Once you have done this, add yourself to the table.
task 06 (P1)
Think back to people who have influenced your sports performance in positive and negative ways (teachers, sports leaders, coaches etc). Who are they and why do you think they have influenced your sporting performance and experience of a specific sport?
task 07 (P1, M1, D1)
Using your research that you have carried out so far, produce and present a PowerPoint Presentation on effective sports leaders. You should describe the skills, qualities and responsibilities associated with successful sports leadership, using two real life examples.
To gain a MERIT in this task, you should explain your points in detail. To gain a DISTINCTION, you should evaluate the skills and qualities of two contrasting leaders in sport, commenting on their effectiveness as a coach.
