model of Long Term Player Development as shown here. This example describes an age appropriate development pathway over time. The recommendations for the younger age groups being aligned to the schools key stages wherever possible.

·       Stages 1-2: 5 to 11 year old primary school ages (small sided games played)

·        Stages 3-4: 11 to 16 year old secondary school ages (11 v 11 games played)

·        Stages 5-6: 16 to 20 year old school leaver age groups

·        Stage 7: 20+ the mature player example. Stage 8: Retention, for any participant who is retained within football

I am currently at stages 5 – 6 and envisage myself going through to stage 8

Slide 14

Motivation There are two kinds of motivation that enables sportsmen to

achieve a particular goal or task. The first type of extrinsic motivation in sports comes from external influences or people. People are extrinsically motivated to earn rewards, social recognition, or benefits. The second kind of intrinsic motivation is an inherent characteristic that feeds off one's inner drive to accomplish a goal or objective.

Intrinsically motivated people focus on a task for their own sake. They have a sense of self-determination, and look upon themselves as being able to meet the demands of a particular However Motivation can change due to circumstances at work and at home or due in injury

Coaching

Slide 17

9PE01

Coaching Pathway The ideal introduction to coaching is the FA Level 1 Club Coach

course. You do not need any experience to take part, just an interest in coaching and the motivation to improve your skills and understanding.

If you are a coach with a few seasons' coaching experience, you could start at the FA Level 2 Club Coach. The FA recommend that you have relevant coaching experience or complete the Level 1 qualification before moving on to Level 2.

You will need a CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check if you will be working with children.

You may be able to get into this job through an Apprenticeship scheme. The range of Apprenticeships available in your area will depend on the local jobs market and the types of skills employers need from their workers. To find out more, visit www.apprenticeships.org.uk

technical skills and team working • demonstrate and/or train with players • develop and discuss strategies and tactics for both individual and

team play • give guidance on nutrition and injury recognition and prevention,

when working with competitive teams plan activities, sessions and programmes, and research good practice and innovative examples

Participation Rates Official Figures ( Sport Council For Wales 2007. Edition

53) show a decline in participation along the time line. Figures below show percentage of age group playing football on regular basis

16 - 21 = 45% 21 - 29 = 26% 30 - 44 = 23% 45 - 55 = 12% 55 + 2% Therefore I can conclude from this research that

statistically my peers and myself will play less football as we age.

Slide 26

Percentage of Men that Walk for exercise.Walking Age 16 - 21 = 27% Age 21 - 29 = 31% Age 30 - 44 = 32% Age 44 - 55 = 38% Age 55+ = 40%

Facts 28% of the UK population do regular

exercise,in Scandinavia the rate is 59% One in five men dies from coronary

heart disease. Where I live 47.12 deaths from CHD in men per 100,000.

These would be used to explain how the culture and lifestyle of where the student lives will have a influence on a sporting life.
