ABSTRACT
The fi rst step in the coaching process is to plan the session, which involves selecting the technique you want to coach and writing it down on a session plan (planning will be looked at in more detail in Chapter 7). When the coach arrives at the venue they must carry out a health and safety assessment, and set up the practices prior to the performers arriving. Once this has been completed and the performers have arrived, there is a suggested process that the coach should go through, from introduction all the way through to ending the session and self-evaluation.
