Atmosphere

Create a positive atmosphere

• Try to create experiences of success for everyone – regardless of skill level
• Remember: it is not the child’s fault if they are weaker than others
• Praise and encourage
• You can have fun, but you have to stop fooling around. For example, when giving instructions, do not talk or do anything else.

Use positive sentences:

• Don’t drop your hips
• Lift your hips a little morea

Show that you are interested. Be present!

• Ask:
  • How the kids are doing at the beginning of the training
  • During the training:
    • how did it go?
    • how do you feel?
    • was it fun?
• Your own throw and putt are practiced on your own in time. Of course, you can sometimes compete with kids.
• Give feedback to everyone. You can decide in advance, to whom at least you will give feedback this time.

Engage the kids by allowing them to participate

• One important motivator is the experience of being able to influence what you do.
• However, remember that you have to stay in control during the exercises.

• Let the juniors for example choose throwing spots for the exercises
  • Putting HORSE
  • Collect the disc
• Let the juniors choose e.g. warmup games
