Do you review sessions? If so, how?

Ever tried to ignore a practice that went wrong or a session that sucked?  
 
If so, it’s time to stop. Reviewing your actions is how you get better. It’s an essential part of creating experiences that are more safe, fun and inclusive for your players. And even great sessions have room for improvement! 

Consistent review will help you to develop better sessions. You’ll work out what went well and what you could do better next time.

Have your say 

In the comments below, tell us how you review. From pen and paper to video whizz-kid: we want to know what works for you.  

  • over time this is a natural action mentally and simple pen and paper (log book ,memo notes ,what could I have done better , plan do review process . we can all reflect but we need to be comfortable with being reactive to our reflections . keep session plans simple ,you can get the same outcome from just some cones some balls combined with small sided games , in possession/out of possession its how we challenge and interact with the players individual needs to support this , why complicate session plans and if you do and all fails (first attempt in learning /further attempt in learning , you may need to simplify the session and rebuild or just go into a small sided games ,its the best outcome in my opinion  ,but remember and note i need to change something next time and what went well with this session .children just want to PLAY

    1. Reviewing a session happens soon as I get home from training. It literally plays in my mind. I look at what went well and what didn't go so well, and why. Sometimes I will need to write it down and sometimes not. I like to focus on individual play and will break down a players performance inorder to tweak it with clear instructions and set goals for that player and will plan the next session with an aim to help each player demonstrate what is expected of them in small sided games and rondos and encouraging the players to play the simple game.
