Hi there! It is now week 14 and so the semester of SCP is unfortunately coming to a close. This is my final post on blogger for this SCP unit. I found this unit very enjoyable. Yet again, Keith Lyons taught this unit differently to many of my other units. In setting up Blogs, students have been able to share their own thoughts, knowledge and ideas and I have found this a great learning tool for my own studies. The semester of SCP has covered topics like: The coaches as a performer, observation and augmented information, Reflecting Assessing and Mentoring, The Social Media, Planning programs and produsing resources for coaching resources. Each of these topics can be found within this blog amoung other posts that were of interest to me during the semester.
For this Blog I decided to give all those coaches something to think about for the next upcoming session or team meeting. The following passage is tweet that Kevin Eastman posted on his twitter account @kevineastman. "Coaching is a never ending exercise in evaluation; of your team and of yourself. Sometimes we are the ones that must change and/or improve!"
Although, Kevin Eastman was an NBA Assistant Coach of the 2008 World Champion Boston Celtics (8th season), His thoughts and ideas apply for all coaches and all sports. If you have a twitter account, I recommend following him, as he gives valuable insights everyday! You can learn more from Kevin and other high profile coaches on his website: http://kevineastmanbasketball.com/.
Kevin Eastman states that he lives by the adage, “Seek wisdom from those who came before you.”
I will leave you with this final thought. I felt that this is something a true pedagogue masters as they go about improving their knowledge and gaining wisdom. By establishing blogs for the SCP unit, Keith Lyons along with each and everyone one of the students in the unit SCP has taken the first steps in this process.
Thanks for reading this post!
