The psychology of coaching is fundamentally a group of strategies that are
developed to assist the coaches to increase their ability to influence the behaviour
of players efficiently. You are required to interact with a coach over a period. It
can either be a team or individual sport coach. You must go through various stages
of the project which also include reading prescribed and recommended readings.
Thereafter, you are required to compile a report about your experience with a
coach. The main purpose of this assignment is to introduce you to the working
context of a sport psychologist and the academic literature on sport psychology and
coaching. The final report that you submit for assignment 02 will be the product of
your interactions with a coach and having consulted various recommended
readings. In order to assist you to plan and structure the report, we have suggested
below the specific outline of your report. It consists of five sections with each
section reflecting a different stage of your work. You should use the outline as a
checklist when compiling the report. The assignment will be marked using a rubric
which will be posted on myUnisa. The rubric is designed to reflect each aspect of
the instructions and you may easily lose marks for omissions. So, pay careful
attention to the instructions. Marks will also be awarded for attention to technical
aspects (formatting, grammar, referencing) and for creativity.

team). Please be careful to consider ethical guidelines in reporting on your project.
