A Student Centred Approach

What to look for....
It is always a contention as to what to look for in an athlete. We must be looking for the following students which may
lead to excellence at a later stage. Some of the key questions will include:
Speed

- Are they quick?

- Are they balanced and agile?

Personality - Do they try or give up easily?

- Do they want to be involved even when they make mistakes?
- Do they always try to do something positive?
- Do they encourage others or lead by example?
- Do they help team mates or only play for themselves?

Insight
- Do they recognise opportunities within the game?
- Space to play or move into?
- Where there team mates are in relation to them the ball and the opponent?
- Recognise the type of ball to play or wil be played by others?
- Cues from other players such as posture, eye contact, awareness or lack of awareness in an
opponent?
- Do they seem to be in right place at the right time?
Technique

- Do they have good technique?

- Are they comfortable moving off both feet, turn both directions?
- Can they control the ball with ease using hands and feet?
- Can they run, turn, dribble and beat opponent?
- Can they pass using various styles and ranges?
- Can they tackle and intercept, get past defenders?
