Anecdotal comments and impressions from me. Ms. X felt having the chance to discuss the technique with her students gave her more personal rapport with team and improved communication. Students had more chance to think about the game when not on the court. Monitoring students application of what they have learned and application of tools to real-life situations and class discussions. I get a better sense of what is understood individually and as a group while the studied theme is still fresh in our minds.
Students value the fact that their assignments are handed back .
Gains in team s shooting performance cannot be attributed solely to mental imagery. As novice players it is impossible to isolate the skill development. Focus changed from interest solely on improvement of skill to effect of technique on players confidence to shoot more often in games. LEAD showed no significant changes in dominant leadership style but there was a significant change in flexibility between styles demonstrating that the students were significantly more flexible in adjusting their style. Validation Sense of personal accomplishment.
