ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A PHYSICAL EDUCATION (PE) TEACHER 


Dr. G Kishore, Principal, SAI LNCPE 
 
INTRODUCTION 

The  term  ‘education’  is  a  very  common  and  a popular word that is uttered by many of us but 


understood  by  a  very  few  in  its  right  perspective.  It  is  in  one  way  or  the  other appears to be 
as  old  as  the  human race, though during the course of time, its meaning and objectives have 
inevitably undergone certain changes.  

The  term  ‘education’ has been interpreted by different people in different ways. Some people 


refer  to  it  as formal schooling or to lifelong learning. Some others refer to it as acquisition of 
knowledge,  skills  and  attitudes.  Some  say  that  education  is  nothing,  but training of people’s 
mind  in  a  particular  direction  to  bring  about  desired  changes.  If  you  ask  a  statesman,  an 
artisan,  a  teacher,  a  parent,  a  philosopher  and  a  student  about  what  education  means  to 
them,  you  would  be  surprised  to  know  the  multiple  interpretations  and  views  people  have 
about  education.  This  only  shows  that  education  doesn’t  have  one  precise  universally 
accepted definition. It has various meanings with various functions.  

Definitions of Education 

“Education is something which makes a man self reliant and self less”. – Rigveda 

“Education is that whose end product is salivation”-Upanishads 

“Education is the realization of the self” - Shankaracharya

“Education means training for the country and loving for the nation” - KAUTILYA.  

“Education is the capacity to feel pleasure and pain at the right moment” - PLATO.  

“Education is the creation of sound mind in sound body”.- ARISTOTLE. 

Balanced Education in Ancient India  

In  India,  there  is  a  rich  tradition  of  education  dating  back  to  the  dawn  of  human civilisation, 
where  the  Gurukulas  and  teacher-disciple  tradition  developed  thousands  of  years  ago.  In 
ancient  India,  learning  was  pursued,  not  for  its own sake, but for the sake of and as a part of 
religion.  It  was  sought  as  a  means  for  the  ultimate  end  of  life  (i.e., salvation). The main aim 
of  education  was  training  of  the  mind  as  an  instrument  of  knowledge  and  the  discharge  of 
one’s  dharma  (duty  or  moral-ethical  value).  Education  was  also  conceived  as  the  means  to 
develop  the  physical  and  the  subtle  body,  so  that  the  inner  spirit  or  the  pure consciousness 
can  express  itself  without  getting  hampered  by  the  illusions  of  the  world.  In  this  context,  it 
was  felt  that  the  purpose  of  education  was  to  train and exercise the five sheaths or layers – 
physical  (gross  body), vital (subtle body), mental, intellectual and spiritual – in such a way as 
to make them the sound instruments for leading a good life (Kabir, 1961). 

India  had  been  the  epicentre  of  knowledge  and  wisdom  since  the ancient times. There have 
been  very  eminent  educationists  in  India  like,  Mahatma  Gandhi,  Swami  Vivekananda,  Shri 
RavindraNath  Tagore  and many more. Education is a continuous process; it is from womb to 
tomb.  Life  /  Education  begins  with  Movement.  The  above-mentioned  eminent educationists 
have  described  the  importance  of  physical  activity  and  said  a  healthy  Mind  is  in  Healthy 
Body. Physical Development, Value Education, Life Skills are essential for living a happy life. 

Physical Education 

School  education  aims  at  the  holistic  development  of  children.  It  provides  students  with 
opportunities  to  grow  and  develop  as  adults  to  be useful for society. It is important for us to 
know  that  one  of  the  most  important  requirements  for growing into healthy adulthood is the 
physical  growth  which  supports  cognitive  development.  Physical  education  contributes  to 
the physical, social, emotional and mental development of a child. 

“Physical  education  comprises  holistic  education  for  the  development  of  personality  of  the 
child  to  its  fullest  and  perfection  in  body,  mind  and  spirit  through  engaging  in  regular 
physical activities.” 

Physical  education  through  the  medium  of  physical  activity  contributes  to  physical 
efficiency,  mental  alertness  and  the  development  of  qualities  like  perseverance,  team spirit, 
leadership  and  obedience  to  rules.  It  develops  personal and social skills among the learners

and  makes  a  positive  impact  on  their  physical, social, emotional and mental development. It 
also contributes to the total health of learners and the community.

​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 6 of 123 
● Training that makes people more willing to obey, often in the form of rules. 

Discipline in sports 

● Discipline  is  the  key  to  an  athlete’s  success  as  it  is  an  essential  foundation  for  any 
sport. 
● It  teaches  athletes  the  value  of  hard  work  in  order  to  improve  and  reach  their  full 
potential. 
● It  teaches  to  sacrifice  some  things  that  get  in  the  way  of  fully  concentrating  on  the 
sport. 
● It  emphasizes  on  time  management  as  sportspersons  have to follow a strict training 
schedule. 

Discipline in Classroom 

● It is a key component to effective classroom management. 


● A  behaviour  code  should  be  set  with  the  students,  where  possible,  so  they  know the 
consequences of their behaviour. 
● A code of behaviour for the teacher should also be included. 
● When  a  student  has  failed  to  redirect  their  behaviour,  after  repeated  attempts  a 
teacher may opt for corrective discipline strategy. 
● Corrective  strategies  refer  to  the  set  of  consequences  delivered  to  the  student 
following an infraction. 
● Consistent  application  of  ‘consequences  of  actions’  is  an  essential  component  of 
discipline strategy. 

Importance of Male Teachers 

● They  provide  strong,  positive  role  models  and  father  figures  for  students  who  may 
not have one. 
● Boys  often  need  a  male  adult  to  talk  about  issues  they  feel  uncomfortable  sharing 
with a female teacher. 
● It  helps  girls,  especially  those  brought  up  in  restrictive  environments,  to  associate 
and get acclimated to the male gender in a safe environment. 

Importance of Female Teachers 

● Especially  in  primary  schools,  having  female  teachers  is  important  for  children  as 
they  can  give  the  students  the  care  that  children  miss  in  the  absence  of  their 
mothers. 
● Girls feel more comfortable expressing 
● their problems and concerns to female teachers than male teachers. 
● Women  teachers  are  vital  to  communities  as  their  presence  makes  parents  send 
their girl children to school confidently. 
● It exposes students to accomplished female role models. 
● Women as teachers can raise gender awareness and the sensitivity of male teachers. 

CONCLUSION 

PE  Teacher  has  a  multi-faceted  role  to  play in integrating Fitness as a way of life in a School 


environment.  Important  to  celebrate  the  role  of  a  PET  in  making  India a Healthier, Fitter and

which  a  person  expends ​energy​,  relative  to  the ​mass​ of  that  person,  while  performing  some 
specific  physical  activity compared to a reference, set by convention at 3.5 mL of oxygen per 
kilogram per minute, which is roughly equivalent to the energy expended when sitting quietly.

•  One  metabolic  equivalent  (​MET​)  is  defined  as  the  amount  of  oxygen  consumed 
while sitting at rest and is equal to 3.5 ml O2 per kg body weight x min. 

• Sedentary (≤1.5 MET)  

• Light (>1.5 and 3 < MET) 

• Moderate activities (≥ 3 and < 6 MET) 

• Vigorous activities (≥ 6 MET) 

1.02 Inactivity 

Physical  activity  that  results  in  some  increase  in  energy  expenditure  at  a  low  intensity level, 
beyond  sedentary,  but  not  of  sufficient  intensity  to  provide  a  general  health  and/or  fitness 
benefit, even if undertaken for long durations and frequently 

• physical  inactivity:  (  insufficient  physical  activity)  represents  the  lack  of  attaining 
physical  activity  recommendations  (ie,  150  min/wk  of  moderate-intensity  activity  or 
75 min/wk of vigorous-intensity activity) 

1.03 Health 

This  generally  accepted  definition  states  that  ‘health is a state of complete physical, mental, 


and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’ 

1.04 Exercise 

Exercise,  ​a  subset  of  physical  activity,  is  “planned,  structured  and  repetitive”  and  designed 
to  target  a  particular  outcome,  for  example,  cardiorespiratory  capacity  or  another 
component of fitness 

  Any  structured  and/or  repetitive  physical  activity  performed  or  practiced  where  the  main 
intention  is  to  achieve  improved  physical  fitness.  This  may  include  ineffective  exercise, 
where individuals intend to achieve a fitness benefit, but do not 

Jeremiah Morris 

The  man  who  invented  exercise  who  first  used  physical  activity  in  epidemiology  In  1953, 
Morris  and  co-workers compared bus drivers, who are sedentary in their occupation, with the 
physically  active  bus  conductors,  who  were  constantly  moving  up  and  down  double-decker

buses  to  collect  fares  in  London.  Physically  active  conductors  had  a  30%  lower  incidence 
rate of coronary heart disease (CHD) than the physically inactive bus drivers 

1.05 PHYSICAL ACTIVITY 

• “Any  bodily  movement  produced  by the contraction of skeletal muscle that increases 


energy  expenditure  above  a  basal  level.  Physical  activity  generally  refers  to  the 
subset of physical activity that enhances health 

• The  weekly  recommendations  include  150  minutes  of  moderate-intensity activity, 75 


minutes  of  vigorous-intensity  activity,  or  some  combination  of  moderate  and 
vigorous activity with 2 days of resistance exercise

​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 16 of 123 
Physical  Fitness  is  the  ability  of  your body systems to work efficiently. A fit person is able to 
carry  out  the  typical  activities  of  living,  such  as  work, and still have enough energy and vigor 
to respond to emergency situations and to enjoy leisure time activities. 

Health related physical fitness:  Performance related fitness 


Cardiovascular fitness  Agility 
Strength  Balance 
Muscular endurance   Co-ordination 
Flexibility  Speed  
Body composition   Reaction time 
  Power 
 
1.07 Sport 

An  activity  involving  physical  exertion,  skill  and/or  hand-eye  coordination  as  the  primary 
focus  of  the  activity,  with  elements  of  competition  where  rules  and  patterns  of  behaviour 
governing the activity exist formally through organisations 

1.08 Physical literacy 

Whitehead describes  physical  literacy  as  the  motivation,  confidence,  physical  competence, 


knowledge,  and  understanding  to  value  and  take  responsibility  for  engagement  in  physical 
activities  for  life.  As  applied  to  PE,  literacy  in  this  sense  might  be  interpreted  as  moving 
psychomotor learning objectives to the affective and cognitive domains.  

1.09 Movement education  


A  new  approach  to  elementary  school  physical  education  is  called  "movement  education." 
Movement  education uses problem-solving, guided-discovery, and exploratory methods, with 
the  effect  of  individualizing  learning  in  physical  education.  The  concepts  involved  in 
movement  education include body awareness and skills, the space in which the body moves, 
the  effort  or  quality  of  body  movement,  and  the relationships among body parts, individuals, 
groups, and objects. 
 
1.10 Physical education 

© SAI Lakshmibai National College for Physical Education | w


​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 17 of 123 
Physical  education  is  “An  educational process that uses physical activity as a means to help 
people  acquire  skills,  fitness,  knowledge,  and  attitudes  that  contribute  to  their  optimal 
development and well-being. Contributes to the development of the whole person.” 

Physical  Education  is  "education  through  the  physical". It aims to develop students’ physical 


competence  and  knowledge  of  movement  and  safety,  and  their  ability  to  use  these  to 
perform  in  a  wide  range  of  activities  associated  with  the  development  of  an  active  and 
healthy  lifestyle.  It  also  develops  students’  confidence and generic skills, especially those of 
collaboration,  communication,  creativity,  critical  thinking  and  aesthetic  appreciation.  These, 
together  with  the  nurturing  of  positive  values  and  attitudes in PE, provide a good foundation 
for students’ lifelong and life-wide learning. 

Physical  education  provides  life  skills  that  encourage  students  to  be  active  and fit for life. It 
has a positive impact on students’ physical, mental, and emotional health. 

It is an: 

1. Academic subject that provides standards based curricula and instruction.  


2. Part of a well-rounded education. 
3. Designed  to  develop  the  knowledge  and  behaviors  for  physical  activity,  physical 
fitness, and motor skills in students. 

Physical education addresses the three domains of learning:  

1. Cognitive or mental skills related to the knowledge of movement 


2. Affective, which addresses growth in feelings or attitudes 
3. Psychomotor,  which  relates  to  the  manual  or  physical  skills  related  to  movement 
literacy 

1.11 Importance of Quality Physical Education 


Physical education is an integral part of the total education of every child. 
Quality  physical  education  programs  are  needed  to  increase  the  physical  competence, 
health-related  fitness,  self-responsibility  and  enjoyment  of  physical  activity  for  all students 
so  that  they  can  be  physically  active  for  a  lifetime.  Physical  education  programs  can  only 
provide these benefits if they are well-planned and well-implemented. 

 
1  Improved Physical Fitness: 
Improves  children's  muscular  strength,  flexibility,  muscular  endurance,  body 
composition and cardiovascular endurance.

​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 18 of 123 
2  Skill Development: 
Develops  motor  skills,  which  allow  for  safe,  successful  and  satisfying  participation  in 
physical activities. 

3.  Regular, Healthful Physical Activity:​  


Provides a wide-range of developmentally appropriate activities for all children 

4  Support of Other Subject Areas:​  


Reinforces  knowledge  learned  across  the  curriculum.  Serves  as  a  lab  for  application 
of content in science, math and social studies 
5  Self-Discipline: 
Facilitates development of student responsibility for health and fitness. 

6  Improved Judgment:​  
Quality  physical  education  can  influence  moral  development.  Students  have  the 
opportunity  to  assume  leadership,  cooperate  with  others;  question  actions  and 
regulations and accept responsibility for their own behavior 

7  Stress Reduction:​  
Physical  activity  becomes  an  outlet  for  releasing  tension  and  anxiety,  and  facilitates 
emotional stability and resilience. 

8  Strengthened Peer Relationships: 


 Physical  education  can  be  a  major  force  in  helping  children  socialize  with  others 
successfully  and  provides  opportunities  to  learn  positive  people  skills.  Especially 
during  late childhood and adolescence, being able to participate in dances, games and 
sports is an important part of peer culture 
9  Improved Self-confidence and Self-esteem:​  
Physical  education  instils  a  stronger  sense  of  self-worth  in  children  based  on  their 
mastery  of  skills  and  concepts  in  physical  activity.  They  can  become  more confident, 
assertive, independent and self-controlled. 
10  Experience Setting Goals: 
 Physical  education  provides  children  the  opportunity  to  set  and  strive  for  personal, 
achievable goals 
11  Improved academic performance 
 
1.12 Essential components of a quality physical education program 

1. Quality  physical  education  programs  are  organized  around  content  standards  that 
offer direction and continuity to instruction and evaluation.  
2. Quality  programs  are  student-centered  and  based  on  the  developmental  urges, 
characteristics, and interests of students 
3. Quality  physical  education  programs  make  physical  activity,  physical  fitness,  and 
motor-skills development the core of the program 
4. Quality physical education programs teach management skills and self-discipline.  

© SAI Lakshmibai National College for Physical Education | w


​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 19 of 123 
5. Quality  programs  include  all  students. Instruction  is  designed  for students who need 
help the most—namely, less-skilled students and children with disabilities. 
6. Quality  physical  education  programs  focus  instruction  on  the  process  of  learning 
skills rather than on the product or outcome of performing the skill.  
7. Quality  physical education programs teach lifetime activities that students can use to 
improve their health and personal wellness 
8. Quality  programs  teach  social  and  personal  responsibility,  including  addressing 
social and emotional learning, gender, and diversity issues 

A physically educated person who participates in health-enhancing physical activity: 

1. demonstrates competence in selected motor skills 


2. Assesses, achieves, and maintains physical fitness. 
3. Applies cognitive concepts in making wise lifestyle choices. 
4. Exhibits  appropriate  person/social  character  traits  while  participating  in  physical 
activity. 

1.13 whole-school approach Create healthy and supporting environments 

1. Access  to  physical  education  and  sport  for  all,  regardless  of:  age,  gender,,  disability 
status, income, educational level, geographic location and ability. 
2. comprehensive  physical  activity  plan  with  physical  education  at  the  core, 
supplemented  by  other  varied  opportunities  for  and  an  environment  supportive  of 
physical  activity  throughout  the  day,  would  make  an  important  contribution  to 
children’s health and development, thereby enhancing their readiness to learn 

A  whole-school  approach  recognizes  that  all  aspects  of  the  school  community  can  impact 
upon students’ health and wellbeing, and that learning and health are linked.  

The  health  of  children  and  youth  affects  their  ability  and  willingness to learn and participate 
in  school  life.  Healthy  children  and  young  people  are  more  likely  to  succeed  at  school. 
Developing  a  whole-school  approach  in  areas  such  as  health  and  physical  activity  will  help 
ensure  schools  contribute  to  this  outcome.  A  whole-school  approach  extends  the  learning 
environment  from  what  is  taught  inside  the  classroom  to  how  students’  well-being  is 
supported outside the classroom.

Age appropriate activities for Nursery -Class 5 

Nursery  to  class  5,  are  the  crucial  years  of  any  child’s  physical  literacy  growth.  It  is  very 
important  that  children  are  provided  opportunities  to  experience  the  joy  of  movement 
through  positive  experiences  that  creates  a  love  for  being  physically  active.  If we get it right 
when  the  children  are  in  the  age  group  3-10,  the  individual  child’s  mind  can  be  groomed 
toward a lifelong love for being physically active. 

Our  early  childhood  years  in  nursery/k1/k2  age  3-5  should  be  the  initial  exploration  stage 
where  children and their natural curiosity towards movement and free pay is encouraged in a 
safe  way.  Here  we  look  at  developing  their  basic  motor  skills  of  standing,  walking,  balance, 
running,  grasping,  climbing, throwing, and understanding their body. Social skill development 
also takes place side by side waiting for their turn, helping tidy up being kind to one another. 

The  next  phase  lower  primary/elementary  class  1  to  class  3  age  5-8.  This  is  the year where 
we  introduce  the  children  to  the  formal  learning  of  physical  literacy  and  develop  their 
locomotor  skills,  non-locomotor  skills  and  manipulative  skills,  foundation  gymnastics,  yoga 
and  swimming.  The  development  of  these  skills  in  a  progressive  manner  will  prepare  and 
create  a  foundation  for  the  next  phase  in  their  journey,  the  introduction  to  sports  related 
skills. Social skill development continues with learning concepts of team, winning and losing, 
respecting rules and good sportsmanship. 

The  final  phase  of  Primary/elementary  physical  education  class  4-5  age  9-10,  is  where  the 
children  are  now  being  introduced  to  the  concept  of  sports  and  games  that  include  net 
games,  invasion  games,  wall  games, target games, striking games ,intermediate gymnastics 
and  swimming,  introduction  to  the  athletic  skills  of  running,  jumping  ,  throwing  and  sports 
and  games  that  are  locally  popular  like  spinning  tops,  playing  with  marbles,  GiliDhanda. 
Social  skill  development  continues  to  grow  with  teams,  fair  play  losing  and  winning, 
respecting rules and sportsmanship being emphasized on strongly.

Social and Emotional Competencies  

Social-Emotional  (SE)  competencies  anchor  the  learning  in  the  PE  Curriculum.  Social  and 
Emotional  Learning  (SEL)  is  an  umbrella term that refers to students’ “acquisition of skills to 
recognise  and  manage  emotions,  develop  care  and  concern  for  others,  make  responsible 
decisions,  establish  positive relationships, and handle challenging situations effectively” The 
five  SE  competencies  are;  Self  Awareness,  Social  Awareness,  Self-Management, 
Relationship Management and Responsible Decision Making.  

Athletics

​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 38 of 123 
Running,  jumping  and  throwing  activities  that  promote  both  personal  striving  and 
comparison.  Through  Athletics,  students  challenge  themselves to run faster and over longer 
distances,  jump  for  height  and  distance,  and  throw  objects  of  different  shapes  and  weight 
for distance and accuracy. 

Dance 

Dance  develops  in  students  an  understanding  of  rhythmic  movement.  It  also  enables 
students  to  express  and  communicate  feelings  and  ideas  through  exploration,  creation  and 
performance.  Through  a variety of learning experiences ranging from creative to other dance 
forms,  the  enjoyment  and  appreciation  of  the  quality  of  movement can be achieved. As part 
of  the  school  curriculum,  students  should  be  given  opportunities  for  involvement  in  and 
enjoyment  of  different  dances  which  can  promote  harmony  and  respect  for  cultural 
differences. 

Games and Sports 

Physical Education 

Games  and  Sports  to  expose  students  to  various  sports  and  provide  the  opportunities  for 
students to participate in sporting activities through 3 main components: 

Skills  Development ​–  Focuses  on  basic  fundamentals  of  manipulative  skills  and  are mainly 
taught  in  Primary  1  to  3.  Combination  skills  like  catching  and  throwing  an  object  to  a 
teammate are taught from Primary 4. 

Game  Play​ –  Focuses  on  instructions  and  games-related  concepts  to  facilitate  the  learning 
of  a  sports  skill  at  the  beginner  level.  students  learn  basic  information  and  skills  about  the 
sport which will enable them to participate in the sport and enjoy it at a recreational level. 

Sports Development​ – Focuses on developing students’ skills through participation 

Mass Participation​: 
Participation  in  Mass  Sports  activities  allows  students  to  apply  gross  motor  skills  and 
games  skills  learnt  during  PE  lessons  to  compete  against  other  classes  in authentic games 
situations  or  performed  as  a  level/  school.  The  activities  should  be  designed  to  promote  a 
sense of belonging to the class and the school. The strong support from the Parents Support 
Group (PSG) Committee ensures that the events can be carried out smoothly every year. 

Mass Games Day: 


Provides  opportunities  for  every  student  to  put  in  practice  what  they  have  learnt  during  PE 
lessons  in  a  competitive  setting  where  the  students  compete  in  several stations and collect 
as  many  points  as  they  can  to  contribute to the class’ total score. The activities also seek to 
build class affiliation. 

Inter-Class Games: 
Allow  students  to  apply  what  they  have  learnt  during  PE  lessons  and  play  games  against

​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 39 of 123 
other  classes  with  the  spirit  of  competition.  Students  will  be  able  to  cheer  for  their 
classmates as they strategies to overcome their opponents. 

Programme for Active Learning: 


The  Sports  and  Games  module  engages  students  through  a  variety  of  sports  and  games 
activities,  e.g.  fundamental  movement,  movement  exploration,  creative  movement  and 
modified  sports  and  games.  This  provides  opportunities  for  students  to  explore,  create  and 
improvise  activities  in  sports  and  games.  The  interactions  among  students  enable  them  to 
develop their interpersonal and social skills, attitudes and values. 

Gymnastics 

Gymnastics  emphasises  on  challenging  students,  working  either  alone  or  in  pairs  and 
groups,  to  manoeuvre  their  bodies  safely  on  the  floor  and  when  negotiating  a  variety  of 
apparatus.  Working  with  others  and  experiencing  a  sense  of  cooperative  success  in 
managing  different  gymnastics  problems  facilitate  the  development  of  care,  harmony, 
responsibility and resilience.  

Outdoor Education ​  

Outdoor Education 
Outdoor  Education,  otherwise  defined  as  experiential  learning  in,  for  or  about  the  outdoors 
should  be  a  part  of  the  PE  curriculum  in  School  as  part  of  our  effort  to  ensure  that  our 
students  develop  into  rugged,  robust  and  resilient  students  who  are  ready  for  life  in 
secondary  school  in  the  near  future  and  life  in  the  21​st​ century  as  a  long term goal. Outdoor 
Education should contain of two main components: 

Adventure  Education  – ​Focuses  on  confidence-building,  promoting  resilience,  ruggedness 


and  robustness,  overcoming  adversity,  enhancing  personal  and  social  development  and  on 
knowing the basics of surviving in the outdoors. 

Experiential  Education  – ​Focuses  on  process  skills,  leadership  skills,  problem-solving skills, 


teamwork and understanding the natural environment.​  

Programme for Active Learning  


The  Outdoor  Education  module  provides  for  direct  experiences  in  the  outdoors  from  which 
students  can learn about the components of Outdoor Education (OE) through facilitation and 
reflection.  It  also  allows  students  to  discover  the  interconnections  between  the  world  and 
themselves;  this  includes  understanding  the  consequences  of  their  actions  on  the  people  / 
community  around  them  and  the  natural  environment.  Students  can  thus  be  curious  and 
explore the outdoors in a safe way. 

Outdoor Camps  

 Outdoor Adventure Camp [Interaction with the Environment] 

The  2-day  and  1-night  camp  seeks  to  introduce  students  to  outdoor  camping.  The  focus  of 
the  camp  is  on  interacting  with  the  environment.  In  collaboration  with  the  Science 

© SAI Lakshmibai National College for Physical Education | w


​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 40 of 123 
Department,  we  organise  our  school  camp  with  a  trip  to  the  zoo  so  that  they  will  be  able to 
learn  more  about  animals  and  its  interaction  with  nature.  The  team-building  activities 
incorporated  in  the  camp  helps  students  learn  to  work  with  one  another  and  learn  to  share, 
work and care for one another. 

Outdoor Adventure Camp [Introduction to High Elements] 

The  camp  provides  the  opportunity  for  the  students  to  learn  to  conquer  their  fears  through 
the  high  elements  stations.  While  it  is  a  challenge-by-choice  option  where  students  only 
attempt  the  high  elements  if  they  are  comfortable,  students  are  highly  encouraged  to 
participate  in  the  activities.  Students will also have team-building activities and light trekking 
to  build  up  their  resilience  and  ruggedness. The camp facilitates social & emotional learning 
and  provides  confidence-building  experiences  in  a  fun  and  exciting  outdoor  environment. 
The values of Resilience and Excellence are emphasised in the camp. 

Swimming 
Swimming  develops  students’  confidence  to  manoeuvre  their  bodies  with  control  while 
experiencing  the  sensation  of  water  balance,  buoyancy  and  propulsion,  in  order  to  facilitate 
floating  and  moving  in,  under,  and  on  water.  The  SwimSafer  Programme  for  our  Primary  3 
students  aims  to  equip  our  students  with  water  survival  skills  and  develop  his/her 
self-confidence. The areas covered under the swimming programme are: 

a.  Survival  Skills.​ Covers  drowning  prevention  techniques  in  addition  to  swimming  ability. 
Pupils would be introduced to flotation survival techniques on how to stay alive in water. 

b.  Education  and  Awareness  Component​. Pupils are taught water safety knowledge, such as 


rules  of  behaviour  at  the  pool  or  near  open  waters,  and  water  survival  knowledge,  which 
include  learning  how  to  signal  for  distress  and  survive  in  water  long  enough  before  being 
rescued. 

Physical Health and Fitness 

Physical  Health  and  Fitness  stimulates  students’  interest  in  physical  activity  as  meaningful 
connections  between  health  concepts  and  practical  applications  are  made  through 
experiential  learning.  Our  students  learn  and  understand  good  health  practices  in  nutrition, 
exercise,  safety  and  hygiene.  Students  also  learn  good  practices  in  safety  which  includes 
areas  such  as road, fire and water safety. With these, students will then be equipped with the 
knowledge,  skills  and  motivation  to  make  informed  personal  decisions  to  stay  active  and 
healthy.

Introduction: 
“Everybody  is  busy  teaching  somebody  about  something  that doesn’t work with their 
life”,  said  Sadguru. Very true and happening, we are living in a world where PET, coaches and 
sports  scientists  talk  about  sports  training  and  fitness  regime  they  never tried and, in social 
context  we  have  counselling  and  inspiration  speakers  talking  about  things  they  can  never 
apply  in  their  lives  and  family  relationship.  Ladies  and  gentlemen, today, with all sincerity let 
me  assure  you  that,  I  am  going  to  talk  about  something  that  works  with  me,  something  on 
what I believe will work and something that I have decided on trying out myself. 
 
Meaning and Needs of Creativity in PE&S 
What is creativity in Physical Education & Sports? 
Creativity  is  the  use  of  imagination  or  original  ideas  to  create  something 
(inventiveness). Being creative means solving a problem in a new but effective way. It means 
taking  risks  and  ignoring  doubt  and  facing  fears  (sign  of  confidence).  And,  as  a  PET,  if  you 
can  put  these  words  into  action  to  add  values  to  your  program,  then,  that  is  creativity  in 
physical education and sports. 
Why is creativity essential and needed in Physical Education & Sports? 
Because  this  is  one  department  in  an  institution  where  you  can  complain  every 
essential  thing  is  lacking,  be  it  manpower/staff,  equipment  &  facilities,  funding,  number  of 
allotted  classes,  no  clear-cut  syllabus/portion  etc.  etc.  The  idea  here  is  not  to  complain  but 
to  make  use  of  your  situation  to  your  advantage  positively  favouring  the students, teachers, 
parents and the institution.

Ingredient to be Creative PET 
Setting your professional Philosophy right 
Your  success  as  a PET will depend more on your coaching philosophy than any other 
factor.  By  philosophy,  I  mean  the  beliefs or principles that guide the actions you take toward 
the objective or goal you set for yourself. Coaches goals fall under three broad objectives as: 
1) To have a winning team 
2) To help young people have fun 
3) To help young people develop physically, psychologically and socially 
 
Steps to be Creative PET 
Planning and Preparing for Classes 
Planning  is  deciding  in advance what to do and preparation is practicing how to do. It 
is the combination of the two that decide on the quality outcome of your work as a teacher in 
general  and  PET  in  particular.  Specifically  in  our  field,  you  cannot  over-emphasized  the 
importance of planning and preparation for a class – the more the better. 
 
Symptoms of a Creative PET 
Popularity for the right reason within the school premises 
How  your  carry  yourself  matters,  the  first  and  foremost  is  ​how  you  carry  yourself 
physically.  ​Remember,  your  profession  demands  you  to  look  fit  and  healthy.  Next  is  your 
comfortability  with  your  ​attire  or  fashion​,  as  a  PET,  if  you  have the body you know you work 
so  hard  for,  flaunt it – be it sportswear, casual or formal, be ready for it at the right place and 
right  time.  And  do  remember,  PET  are  expected  to  be  ​extroverted  with  good  social  skills, 
accept this reality and try to better yourself each time – You can, if you think you can! 
 
Small Area Games/Lead Up or Recreational Games for Staff and Parent Engagement 
 
How to ‘Sale’ Ideas to Staffs and Parents 
Work  visibility  -  ​PET  mostly  has  the  tendency  to  be  either  a  Profession  Narcissist  or 
Inferiority  complex  among  the  teacher's  community,  this  will  never  get  you  an  audience 
inside  or  outside  the  school  premises.  Instead,  stay  Updated,  Trust  your  Instinct  and  Love 
your job, this will take you up to the top of the popularity chart where you can be counted. 
Working  Out  on  the  Right  Moment  -  ​The  best  opportunity  to  engage  parents  and  teachers 
participation  in  a  school  physical  education  programme  is  during  Sports  Day  by  allotting  a 
particular  slot  in  the  program.  Such  an  item  as  part  of  the  program  will  be  successful  only 
after  sufficient  groundwork  and  planning,  and  apart  from  all,  will  greatly depend upon PET’s 
convincing  power,  communication  skills  and  personal  relationship​.  Timely  publicity  and 
personal  contact  may  be  the  key  for  such  important  public  relationship  initiative  by  the 
department. 
● Publicity through children and personal contact. 
● Planning and preparation 
● Scheduling of time and venue 
● Organizing concern (contest & ceremony) 
 
Introducing the concept of fitness through Plogging 
What  is  Plogging?  ​Plogging is  a  combination  of jogging with picking up litter. It started as an 
organised  activity  in  Sweden  around  2016  and  spread  to  other  countries  in  2018,  following 
increased  concern  about  plastic  pollution.  And  in  India,  Plog Run is  a  unique  way  of  picking 
up  garbage  while  jogging  and  was  added  to  the Fit  India Movement  as  a  unique  way  of 
combining cleanliness and fitness

Conclusion: 
The Art of Solving Situational Problem 
Problem  solving  simply  means  thinking  creatively  about  the  most  effective  solution 
to  use  when  a  problem-or  obstacle-blocks  your  ways.  A  simple  approach  that  seemed  to 
work well for almost all situations – Just think IDEA! 
● Identify  The  Problem  –  chances  are  it’s  a  combination  of factors, just write down the 
most important and be specific. 
● Develop a List of Solutions – that means brainstorming, getting down to business and 
coming  up  with  ideas.  Be  creative.  Keep  your  list  with  you  over  the  next  few  days  if 
needed, add any other solutions that come to mind. 
● Evaluate  Your  Solutions  –  some  will  look  more  realistic  than  others.  Select  one  that 
you’re  willing  to  try,  then  develop a specific plan for how and when you can put it into 
test. 
● Analyze  How  Well  Your  Plan  Worked  –  be  honest,  analyze  how  well it worked. Revise 
your  plan  before  you  try  again,  maybe  all  you  need  is  a  little  tinkering.  But if the plan 
fell  flat  on  its  face,  come  up  with  another  by  starting  at  the  beginning  of  the  IDEA 
process.

Balanced Diet 

A  balanced  diet  is  one  which  provides  all  the  nutrients  in  required  amounts  and  proper 
proportions.  It  can  easily  be  achieved  through  a  blend  of  the  five  basic  food  groups.  The 
quantities  of  foods  needed  to  meet  the  nutrient  requirements  vary  with  age,  gender, 
physiological  status  and  physical  activity.  In  constructing  a  balanced  diet  the  following 
principles  should  be  borne  in  mind  :(a)around  50-60%  of  total  calories  from carbohydrates, 
preferably  from  complex  carbohydrates.(b)daily  requirement  of  protein  should  met.This 
amounts  to  10-15%  of  daily  energy  intake.(c)Next  comes  the  fat  requirement  ,which  is 
limited  to  20-30%  of  daily  energy  intake.  In  addition,  a  balanced  diet  should  provide  other 
non-nutrients  such  as  dietary  fibre,  antioxidants  and  phytochemicals  which  bestow  positive 
health  benefits.  Antioxidants  such  as  vitamins  C  and  E,  beta-carotene,  riboflavin  and 
selenium  protect  the  human  body  from  free  radical  damage.  Other  phytochemicals  such as 
polyphenols,  flavones,  etc.,  also  afford  protection  against  oxidant  damage.  Spices  like 
turmeric, ginger, garlic, cumin and cloves are rich in antioxidants.  

One  of  the  most  common  nutritional  problems  of  unhealthy  balanced  diets  inIndia  are,  low 
birth  weight, protein energy malnutrition in children,chronic energy deficiency in adults, & diet 
related  non  communicable  diseases  like  diabetes,  hypertension,cardiovascular  diseases, 
obesity and cancer.

The Food Pyramid 

A  nutritional  education  guide  “the  Food  Guide  Pyramid  “emphasizes  food  from  five  major 
food  groups.  Foods  in  one  group  cannot  replace  those  in  another.  No  one  of  these  major 
food groups is more important than another -for good health, one needs them all.

Food Guide Pyramid 

Macronutrients 

Carbohydrates 

● It provides 4kcal/g 
● The  body  converts  the  carbohydrates  in  the  food  to  glucose  and  uses  it  for  energy. 
Carbohydrates  provide  fuel  or  energy  to  the  body  for  all  the  activities  a  person  does 
the whole day.  
● Carbohydrates  are  primarily  obtained  from  cereals  like  Rice, Wheat, Jowar, Bajra etc. 
The  most  important  thing  to  remember  is  to  have  more  complex  carbohydrates 
(carbohydrates containing fibre) like whole grains, millets, vegetables etc. 
● Complex  carbohydrates  like  whole  grains  and  cereals,  leafy  vegetables  and  fruits 
available  locally  add  to  the  fibre  intake  which  regulates  your  bowel  movements  and 
keeps the gut healthy. Complex carbohydrates are rich in nutrition. 
● Simple  carbohydrates  are  sugars.  It  is  important  to  limit  simple  carbohydrates  such 
as  juices,  white  breads,  sugary  cereal  products  and  highly  processed  foods  like  soft 
drinks,  corn  flakes,  ready  to  cook  noodles  etc.,  These  simple  carbohydrates  do  not 
provide  any  nutrition  to  the  body  and  give  “empty  calories”.  However,  some  of these 
foods are recommended during competition to give us instant energy. 
● Fibre:  ​Vegetables  &  fruits  add  to  the  fibre  intake.  Fibre  is  good  for  the  gut  and 
contributes  to  good  health  and  immunity.  It  is  always  better  to have fruits instead of

juices,  because  juices  filter  away  the  seeds  and  skin,  which  contain  the most part of 
fibre (complex carbohydrates). 
 
Proteins 

● It provides 4 kcal/g. 
● Proteins  are  the  building  blocks  of  the  body.  They  help  in  preserving  lean  mass  and 
help  in  building  of  the  muscles.  It  increases  strength  and  helps  a  person  to  grow  to 
his complete potential.  
● Muscles  get  damaged  during  training  and  practice  sessions.  Protein  is  extremely 
crucial  for  sports  persons  to  repair  damaged  muscle  tissue  as  well  as  formation  of 
tissue  fibres  that  help in recovery of the muscle. Muscle mass contributes to winning 
performances in sports. 
● Protein  rich  foods  include  pulses  like  dals,  milk,  eggs,  red  meats etc. Non-Veg foods 
provide  the  highest  sources.  Teens  should  aim  to  consume  two  to  three  servings  of 
protein-rich  foods per day. It is recommended that on an average a person consumes 
0.8-1g of Protein per kg body weight to get the ideal benefits of this macronutrient. 
● Check  out  the  list  of  protein  rich  foods  to  pick  from  vegetarian  and  non-vegetarian 
sources to complete your protein intake. 
 

Fats 

● Fats  provide  energy  to  the  body  and  add  taste  and  satiety  to  the  meals.  They  also 
help  in providing essential fatty acids that protect the body. Adequate fat levels in the 
body  help  in  regulating  body  temperature,  keeps  the  body  flexible  and  joints 
lubricated. 
● Fat  soluble  vitamins  include  A,  D,  E  &  K.  These  vitamins  are  mainly  found  in  fatty 
foods  because  they  dissolve  in  oil  or  fat.  These  vitamins  play  crucial  roles  in 
improving  immunity,  eyesight.  Vitamin  D  is  required  for  the  absorption  of  calcium 
which helps keep the bones strong. 
● Fats  are  obtained  from  oils  and  fats  like  vegetable  oils,  ghee,  butter  etc.,  It  is  also 
found  inherently  in  foods  also  called  as  invisible  fat,  apart  from  the  oils  externally 
added in food as a part of cooking known as visible fats. 
● Fats  can  be  divided  into  saturated  and  unsaturated  fats,  Saturated  fats  and 
considered  bad  e.g.  vanaspati,  dalda  etc  which  can  have  an  impact  on  your 
cardiovascular  health.  Unsaturated  fats  like  vegetable  oils  (sunflower  oil  , groundnut 
oil, safflower oil , olive oil etc.,) are good in moderate amounts. 
● Two types of fats that need to be considered are essential fatty acids Omega 3 and 6, 
which  have  to  be  provided  in  the  diet  and  help  in  immunity,  brain  development  and 
combating  inflammation  in  sports  persons.  Excellent  sources  include  sea  food  like 
oily fishes and flax seeds. 
● We  all  know  that  eating  too  much  fat is bad, but we should also know that eating too 
less  is  also  harmful  to  the  body.  If  you  have  high  levels  (high  triglycerides,  high 
cholesterol)  then  it  can  accumulate  in  the  liver  and  lead  to  health  problems  like 
cardiovascular  issues.  If  you  have  low  fat  levels,  it  may  reduce  your  immunity  and 
affect  your  joints.  Hormones  need  fat  for  efficient  functioning  and  low-fat  levels 
reduce their efficiency and affect their levels.

● Most  importantly,  fats  give  you  energy  and  fuel  up  your  body  to  let  you  work  and 
compete  efficiently.  So  rather  than  avoiding  all  fats,  it  is  important  to  eat  the  right 
ones. 
 

Micronutrients 

Vitamins & Minerals 

● These  include  Vitamins  (Vit  A,  Vit  B,  Vit  C, Vit D, Vit E and Vit K.) & Minerals (calcium, 


iron, zinc etc) that help us build immunity and help fight infections. Table: 
● We  obtain  it  majorly  from  Fruits  &  Vegetables  and  some  small  amounts  from grains 
and cereals. 
● Many  teens  do  not  get  enough  calcium  in  their  diets  and should include two to three 
servings  of  dairy  products  per  day  to  meet  their  needs.  Teens  have  a  higher 
requirement  of  vitamins  and  minerals  to  accommodate  the  higher  growth  and 
metabolism. 
● Meat  and  animal  foods  are  rich  in  iron  and  zinc  which  is  important  to  focus  on  for 
young  adults  as  they are often deficient in these minerals. Girls are normally checked 
for iron deficiency as it is extremely common among them because of menarche.

Hydration 
Water  is  critical  for  the  proper  functioning  of  “body”.The  total  body  water  varies  with  age, 
sex,and  body  composition  etc.Water  is  about  70-75%  of  body  weight  is  an  individual  with 
normal body weight.  
 
It  maintains  the  fluid  (electrolyte)  balance,  regulates  body  temperature,  protects  body 
organs,  carries  nutrition  and  oxygen  to  the  cells,  flushes  out  wastes  and  keeps  the  blood 
healthy.  However,  it  is  neglected  and  often  taken  for  granted.  Its  use  is  usually 
underestimated. 
 
Consuming enough water or fluids to maintain fluid balance is known as Hydration.

​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 60 of 123 
Water  is  consumed  only  when  we feel thirsty, however, we should be consuming 2-3 litres of 
water  a  day  in  normal  conditions  and  4-5  litres  if  training  or  practicing  in  the  field.  That 
accounts for at least a glass of water every hour. 

Water  replacement  is  required  after  exercising  and  games  and  should  be  prioritised  to  the 
children  during  classes  as  well  as  on  the  field.  Hydration  includes  water,  fruit  juices, 
electrolyte fluids and any other liquids that can add to the hydrating body. 

Athletes  should  replace  body  water  lost  during  training/competition  using the guideline that 


1kg of body weight lost equals 1L of water lost. 

Athletes  exercising  in  a  hot  environment  can  lose  approximately  30  ml  of  water  every 
minute. 

How do you recognise if you are drinking enough water/fluids?  

Urinating often. i.e.., at least once every hour is a good thumb rule to follow. 

Age-specific Nutritional Guidelines 

Nutrition in infancy 

Infancy,  the  first  year  of  life,  is  a  critical  period  for  growth  of  essential 
nutrients.​Requirements  for  macronutrients  and  micronutrients  on  a  per-kilogram  basis  are 
higher than at any other stage in the human life cycle.  

Until 6 months​: 

Feeding practices: Exclusive breast feeding. 

6  months-1year​:  Weaning  foods  (Breastfeeding  plus soft nutritious foods like banana, soft 


boiled  rice,  dilute  dal)  followed by incorporating nutritious foods along with breastfeeding till 
1  year.​Solid  baby  foods  can  be  bought  commercially  or  prepared  from  regular  food  using  a 
food  processor,  blender,  food  mill,  or  grinder  at  home.  Usually,  an  infant  cereal  can  be 
offered  from  a  spoon  between  four  to  six  months.  By  nine  months  to  a  year,  infants  can 
chew soft foods and can eat solids that are well chopped or mashed. 

Nutrition in Childhood 

Beyond  a  year​: Food increases in quantity and quality i.e.., nutrition. Soft boiled egg, Non-veg 
foods  like  chicken,  meat  and  fish  etc  can  be  slowly  introduced.  Consumption  of  fruits  and 
vegetables should improve. 

About  80%  of  brain  development  takes  place  during  these  years  and  the  brain  is 
programmed  with  connections  (neurons  and  synapses)  at  this  stage.  Food  that  you  eat  in 
this  stage  lays  the  foundation  for  future  health  and  it  is  critical  to have good nutritious food 
for proper brain development.

Most  toddlers  are  active  the  whole  day.  The  older  toddlers  from  (3-5  year)  require  about  1 
hour  of  full  activity  and  2-3  hrs  of  intermittent activity. Food that is given to the toddler must 
support these activities. 

Most  kids  of  this  age  experience  their  first  exposure  to  “outside”  food  including  foods  that 
are  high  in  carbohydrates  and  saturated  fat  together  like  instant noodles and pasta, burgers 
and  pizzas.  Once  a  child  is  hooked  to  these  foods,  they  normally  reduce  eating  nutritious 
simple  homemade  foods.  These  foods  should  be  given  moderately  or  used  as  a  treat  to 
correct  behaviour  modifications  as  a  reward  only.  a treat to correct behaviour modifications 
as a reward only.  

Psycho-Social Growth 

Food  defines  the  relationship  between  a  mother  and  child,  and  this  is  the  time  a  toddler 
derives his or her sense of security and belonging. 

Most  new-born  babies  are  breastfed  and  a  mother’s body, prioritizes the nutrition content of 


breast  milk.  Therefore,  mothers  need  to  maintain  proper  nutrition  while  breastfeeding,  as 
their nutritional status will most likely affect the baby.  

There  are  many  commercially  developed  infant  and formula feeds for toddlers which are OK 


to  give  if  you  can  afford  it.  However,  it  is  always  better  to  give  homemade  wholesome 
simple,  nutritious  and  inexpensive  feeds  like  millet,  pulses  and  cereal  puddings  along  with 
locally available fruit to make it delicious and sustainable. 

Most  infants  are  exposed  to  infections  during  this  period  and  care  needs  to  be  taken  to 
provide  them  clean  food.  It  is critical to monitor water intake and fluids should be monitored 
during episodes of diarrhoea. 

Taste  of  the  food  is  also  an  important  consideration  during  this  time.  Toddlers  develop  a 
taste  for  various  foods  and  therefore  it  is  important  to  consider  giving  variety  of  foods  that 
are  nutritious  and  tasty  as  well. Regularity of meals is essential. The child who is exposed to 
and  eats  all  kinds  of  foods  is  more likely to enjoy good health later in life, than a person who 
picks  and  chooses.  However,  forced  feeding  should  be  avoided  as  it  is  likely  to  develop  a 
hatred for foods.  

Nutritional challenges: 

Calories/Energy required: To cover for growth and high activity 

Protein: For rapid growth 

Nutrition of School -Aged Child 

Goal: Maintaining interest in food  

This  group  has  a  latent  growth  i.e..,  the  growth  rate  slows  down  as  compared  to  the  earlier 
age.  However,  the  body's  requirements  for  calories  are  increased  steadily  from  this  age 
group.  This  growth  can  be  divided  into  phases  for  both  genders.  The  approaching 
adolescent period and menarche demands steady increase in the requirement of calories.  

Girls  usually  grow faster than boys during the later phase and hence the nutritional needs for 


both the genders change a little towards the end of this phase.

Breakfast  is  an  important  meal  for  the  child  before  going  to  school.  It  breaks  the  period  of 
overnight  fasting  and  it  prepares  the  child  for  problem  solving  and  supplies  the  energy 
required to concentrate in the class.  

Children  tend  to  easily  get  bored  with  foods  so  it  would  be  good  to  make  the  food  a  little 
interesting.  There  is  an  increasing  interest  and  participation  in  other  activities  which 
compete with mealtimes. 

Many  school  children  have  a  poor  diet  either due to poverty, or ignorance or poor motivation 


and or follow-up. 

Packed lunches: 

Packed  school  lunches  should  provide  almost  one-third  of  the  day’s  calories  and  protein 
requirements. 

Mid-day  meal  programs  and  Supplementary  nutrition  programs  are  implemented  to  ensure 
attendance  in  school.  It  re-orients  good  eating  habits  and  incorporates  nutrition  education 
into the syllabus in an informal method. 

To  encourage  participation  in  the  feeding  programs  and  since  these  are  programs  that 
benefit  the  community,  it  is  highly  recommended  that  they  be  monitored  by  the  self-help 
programs.  Women  can  be  nominated  to ensure that the children from the community attend 
school  and  avail  these  programs.  Follow-up  by  these  groups  assures  the  success  of  these 
schemes  for  the  overall  benefit of all the stakeholders involved. As most mothers are part of 
the  self-help  groups,  it  will  help  enhance  the  capability  of  the  mother  to  look  after  the 
nutritional and health needs of the child. 

Nutritional challenges  

Calories: for maintenance  

Making food interesting 

Malnutrition  –  Subtle  signs  need  to  be  checked  for  deficiency  like  Vitamin  A,  iron  and 
calcium. 

Nutrition in Adolescence 

INTERESTED ADOLESCENT (10-13 years) 

Goal: Increased requirement of vitamins and minerals, preparation of puberty 

Puberty  rules  this  stage  and  the  body  prepares  itself  for  the  various  hormonal changes that 
are taking place for the reproductive system to start developing and functioning. 

Calcium & Iron are required for bone growth and to tackle anaemia.  

School games are a good way to make kids active. 

An  hour  of  activity,  however,  would  require  extra  calories  for  the  body  to  cope  up,  both  for 
growth and development as well as extra activity.

Slightly  higher  proteins  (make  sure  to  include  dal,  dairy  (milk,  paneer  etc.,)  and  eggs  and 
other animal protein at least once a day) 

Include more fruits and vegetables for vitamins and minerals 

DEVELOPING TEEN (13-17 years) 

Goal: Physical and Psycho-Social issues influence eating habits of Adolescents. 

There  is  a  marked  difference  in  calorie  requirements  of  boys  &  girls.  Girls  consume  fewer 
calories  than  boys.  Activity  and  metabolism  of  boys  is  higher,  and  they  tend  to  eat  more 
often than before. 

The  Appetite  of  teens  is  high  and  on  demand  tasty  junk  food  is  what  they  seek.  This  is  the 
age  when  they  are  exposed  to  eating  outside  food.  ​Adolescents  are  consuming  more 
calories from less-nutrient dense foods.  

Adolescents  prefer  unhealthy  fast  food  and  pre-packaged  foods.  ​Large  appetite and hunger 
lead them to consume snack foods with high sugar and calorie content. 

This  is  the age to identify whether a child is interested in sports and identify the sport that he 


or  she  is  keen  to  take  up.  Most  children  play  different  games  in  schools  depending  on  the 
infrastructure  and  facilities available. School games involve different sports, a mix of, mostly 
unorganised  local  games  and  a  few  organised team sports. Some schools also help identify 
talent in individual games and promote them in school/district /national sports games. 

These  games  participation  and  practice  require,  at  least  one  hour  of  sports  practice  and 
activity,  either  during  school  hours  as  a  PE  period  or  after  school  hours.  The  activity  is 
usually moderate. 

Lean  mass  starts  developing  and  the  requirement  for  protein  food goes up. The bones start 
shaping up and the skeletal mass formation begins to develop. 

Boys  tend  to  eat  more foods and therefore tend to complete their nutrient requirements. It is 


especially important to observe the food habits of adolescent girl’s vs boys.  

Eating habits can affect in two ways 

a. Obesity 
b. Under-Nutrition 

Obesity could be due to excessive eating or eating excessive junk food or poor activity. 

Under or Malnutrition can be caused due to eating less or inadequate food or avoiding eating 
due to various reasons including poor knowledge or awareness about foods. 

Both  these  conditions can induce lethargy and hence deter a child from being active and can 


result in low participation in extra co-curricular activities.

Availability  of  easily  accessible  cheap  food,  that  could  be  unhealthy  may  be  an  issue  that 
needs to be addressed.  

Social  pressure  to  look  good  is  high  and  eating  disorders  used  to  achieve  a  reduction  of 
body  weight or body fat with the spectrum ranging from restricted food intake to frank cases 
of eating disorders should be addressed. 

Girls  go  through  periods  where  they  oscillate  between  overeating  and  under  eating.  Most 
often,  in  quest  of  a  thin body and following their celebrity role models, fad diets and trending 
diet  regimes  become  a  part  of  the  girls'  eating  habits.  This  affects  the  health  overall, 
affecting  their  hormones  specifically  as  the  reproductive  cycles  are  peaking  and  stabilising 
at this stage. It is therefore important that they are guided by someone who they can trust. 

COMPETING YOUTH (17-20 years) 

Goal: Nutrition to achieve and maintain optimal physique  

A  phase  where  the  body  is  ready  for  taking  up  a  sport  of  choice  and/or  including  parental 
choice  of  sport,  the  accessibility  to  infrastructure,  choice  of  sports by friends, peer pressure 
etc.,  Is  the  child  going  to  be  amateur  /playing  hobby  sports  or  going  professional?  The 
nutritional requirements would differ for both these athletes. 

An amateur player, practices and plays for an hour or two. The calorie expenditure is minimal 
(200-300)  over  and  above  his  or  her regular requirements. Energy expenditure is replaced by 
one  wholesome  meal  consisting  of  protein  and  carbohydrate  sources including hydrating or 
having water based on thirst.  

A  child  going  professional  undergoes  organised  practice  and  exercise  sessions.  These 
sessions  not  only  require  high  calorie  requirements  (extra  600-800  Cals)  but  also  vitamins 
and minerals to sustain these kinds of efforts. 

Calories  are  required  for regular growth and development, to compensate for the energy that 


is  diverted  for  the  extra  fuel  for  practice  and  exercise  as  well  as  recovery  for  the  next  day. 
Adequate Carbohydrate in meals fuels and makes up for this loss. 

Protein  is  the  most  important  macronutrient  and  any deficit in this would cause depletion of 


muscle  which  is  needed  for  performance.  It  is  essential  to  include  protein  with  high 
biological  value  like  animal  proteins  including  eggs,  meat  like  chicken  and  fish,  paneer,  soy 
nuggets, pulses like chole, rajma, milk etc. 

Water  is  not  only  a  medium  to  quench  thirst  but  it  also  hydrates  the  body  and  maintains 
electrolytes.  It  is  recommended  to  have  a  minimum  2-3  litres  of  water  in  a  day.  A  hot  and 
humid climate would warrant more intake. 

Electrolytes:  Minerals  like  Sodium,  Potassium  are  depleted  during  exercise  and  practice 
sessions.  This  causes  fatigue  and  tiredness  and  can  cause  reduction  in  performance.  It  is 
advisable  to  have  candies,  coconut  water,  banana,  ORS/electral  powder  with  water  prior  to 
and or during play. 

Supplements:

​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 65 of 123 
Health  supplements  like  Vit  D,  Calcium  and  iron,  Multivitamins  can  be  advised on a medical 
practitioner’s advice to make up for any deficiency 

Performance  supplements  like  creatine,  whey  etc  can  be  recommended  based  on 
requirements and budget availability.

To maintain body weight 

To compensate nutrition for the excess requirements 

Nutrition in Young Adult 

20-30 Years 

Goal: Most productive phase of the adult / athlete 

Proper  nutrition  is  not  only  required  for  optimal  health  but  also  determines  the  potential  for 
achieving the goals. 

This  period  requires  extreme  diligence  in  food  discipline  including  close  monitoring  of  food 
intake  &  body  weight.  Being  overweight  hampers  performance  and  being  underweight  will 
not  give  you  enough strength and stamina to keep up with the effort required for performing. 
It  could  cause  deficiency  disorders  as  iron  deficiency  anaemia,  zinc  deficiency, low calcium 
and Vit D levels affect bone & skeletal growth and effect winning. 

Being  overweight  puts  an  unnecessary  burden  on  your  heart  and  increases  fatigue  slowing 
down  on  a  daily  basis.  If  a  person  is  underweight,  it  compromises  on  the  immunity  and 
makes the body vulnerable for infections. 

Adequate  calories  would  help  athletes  achieve  the  platform  from  which  they  are  ready  to 
compete.  However,  being  overweight,  will  slow  down  a  sports  person’s  speed  esp.  required 
in  a  few  sports  for  eg  in  sprints,  tennis,  football  etc.,  Being  underweight  reduces 
performance and endurance in all games esp. in archery or weight sports. 

Most important physiological requirements are 

● Fat % 
● Lean mass 
● Weight  
These  are  factored  around  an  athlete’s  lifestyle  to  achieve  a  particular  phisique  ideal  for 
athletic  performance.  Personal  lifestyle  and  specific  sports  determine  food  choices,  eating 
patterns,  use  of  special food choices and supplements to change these factors according to 
the requirements of the specific sport. 

Older Adult 

Food intake must be regulated based on routine habits and locally available food. 

Most adults tend to become satisfied with their health esp. regarding food habits. 

An active adult would mean a moderate exercise for about half an hour.

A  balanced  diet  that  includes  all  macronutrients  in  the  right  proportions  (carbohydrates, 
protein and fat) provided by a variety of fruits is advised​.  

For  a  balanced  diet,  it  should  approximately  contain  40-50%  of  carbohydrates,  25-30%  of 
protein and 25-30% of daily calories from fat​. 

While  fat  intake  should  be  limited,  fat  does  play  an  important  role  in  supplying  energy  and 
helping  the  body  absorb  fat-soluble  vitamins  including  vitamins A, D, E and K. Hence the key 
is to eat low to moderate fat and not overeat. 

Low  fat  diet  is  recommended  to  avoid  any  health  problems  like  cardiovascular  issues, 
diabetes  and  other  metabolic  disorders,  at  a  later  stage in life. ​Consuming too much fat can 
cause  young  adults  to  gain  weight  and  may  even  cause  high  cholesterol.  Choose  healthy 
sources  of  fats  such  as  nuts,  seeds,  plant-based  oils  and  avocados.​It  is  important  to  add 
fruits  and  vegetables  to  get  a  daily  dose  of  vitamins  and  minerals,  antioxidants  to  improve 
immunity.  

Food Plate 

 
Depicting macro & micronutrients, vitamins, minerals and water 

Make most of your meal vegetables and fruits ½ of your plate​: 

Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables 

Go for whole grains – ¼ of your plate​:

choose  higher  fibre  wholegrain  varieties,  such  as  wholewheat  ,  brown  rice  ,  millets  etc 
.starchy food is a good source of energy . 

Include protein rich sources like lean meats, fish and eggs,  

Healthy plant oils in moderation​: 

Healthy oils like rice bran oil, olive oil, sunflower oil etc 

Drink water and dairy 

Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day and move to low fat or fat free milk and yogurt etc 

Stay Active 

Staying active is also important in weight control. 

Reading a Food Label 

Most  prepared  foods,  such  as  breads,  cereals,  biscuits,chocolates,  dairy  products, 
icecream,  packed  drinks,  canned  fruits  and  vegetables  require  a  food  label.  Nutrition 
labelling for raw produce (fruits and vegetables) and fish is voluntary. 

1. Standardized  Format​:  Every  label  has  the  same  layout  and  design;  the  nutrition 
information is entitled “Nutrition Facts”. 
2. Serving  Sizes​:  All  serving  sizes  listed  on  similar  products  are  stated  in  consistently 
used household and metric measures to allow comparison shopping. 
3. Daily  Values​:  The  bottom  of  the  nutrition  facts  panel  shows  either  the  minimum  or 
maximum levels of nutrients people should consume each day for a healthful diet. 
4. Descriptors​:  Terms  like  low,high  and  free  used  on  food  labels  must  meet  legal 
definitions.  Free  means  less  than  0.5  gram  of  fat  per  serving  &  tiny  amounts  of 
sodium  and  sugar.  Low  indicates  3 gram of fat or less than per serving. For a food to 
be  listed as High in a nutrient, it must contain 20percent or more of the daily value for 
that nutrient.  

5. Ingredients​:  The  ingredients  are  listed  by  weight;  the  ingredient  that  has  the  highest 
weight  is  listed  first,  and  the  ingredient  with  the  lowest  weight  is  listed  last.  This  is 
important  as  we  examine  which  ingredients  come  first  on  the  list  because  if  sugar 
shows  up  high  on  the  list,  then  we  know  the  product  should  probably  be  eaten 
sparingly.  
Some  additional ingredients are referred to as food additives. ​Food additives​ are substances 
added  to  food  to  enhance  its  appearance,  flavour,  or  shelf  life.  Legally,  these are defined as 
anything  not  on  the  generally  recognized  as  safe  (GRAS)  list.  Food  additives  can  be  added 
for several reasons including: 

● Flavour enhancers (such as amyl acetate,ethyl butyrate) 


● Adding nutrients (thiamine) 
● Bulking agents (such as the corn starch) 
● Preservatives (calcium propionate,parabens) 
● Anti-caking agents (calcium silicate)

● Emulsifiers (soy lecithin) 
● Stabilizers (carrageenan) 
● Thickeners (pectin) 

So, each of these food additives has a specific purpose in the food.

6. They  are  typically  selected  from  among  local  stakeholders  in  the  given  city  and  are 
familiar with the targeted disadvantaged settlement. 
7. Coaching  is  initiated  in  largely  passive  environments,  where there is little community 
activity  or  belief  in  the  capacity  to  change  life  conditions,  or  in  the  ability  to  imagine 
this change. 
8. Coaches  work  to  enable  community  self-organization  and  reorganization,  and  foster 
new leadership.  
9. One  of  the  key scopes of sports coaching is to improve sport performance. However, 
there is so much more to it than just achieving results on a scoreboard. 
10. A  sports  coach  can  be  a  multi-faceted  personality  working  with  many  organizations 
and  his  players.  Similarly,  any aspect the coach deals with will come under the scope 
of Community Coaching 
11. Mentoring,  teaching,  mental  training,  physical  training,  leadership,  trust  building. 
Improving  athlete’s performance, encouraging positive thinking, teamwork, resilience, 
developing good work ethic, and respect and love for the game. 
12. Additionally,  the  scope  includes  diplomacy,  negotiation,  facilitation,  organization, 
problem solving and motivation. 
13. As  such,  sports  coaching  plays  an  integral  part  in  human  development,  and  the 
influence  a  good  coaching  can  have  on  the  community  can  go  way  beyond  the 
program itself. 
 
A Basic Tool for Inclusive Local Development 
Through  UNDP’s  interventions  between  2005  and  2014,  a  successful  approach  has 
been  developed  and  employed  to  ignite  the  spirit  of  change  in  disadvantaged 
communities,  and  involving  these  communities  in the implementation of subsequent 
development  programs.  This  approach  is  called  community  coaching.  Everyone  can 
do something to change his or her own life tomorrow,”  
 
 Why do we need a sports coach? 
Starting a new sport 
Starting  a  new  sport  is  a  great  way  to  meet  new  people,  open up new opportunities 
for yourself and improve your ​mental and physical health​. 
 
Improve your game 
A  sports coach can be hired to assess your performance critically in order to identify 
particular  areas  in  need  of  improvement.  Once  you  have  a  plan  for moving forward, 
those  feelings  of  progression  and  movement  will  return - hopefully accompanied by 
a new boost of motivation to reach a higher level of performance. 
 
Advance to a professional level 
Individuals  who  show  high  levels  of  potential  are  often  encouraged  to  hire  a  sports 
coach  who  will  give them that extra push. Many sports coaches have backgrounds in 
professional  sports  themselves,  so  they  know  what  it  takes  to  make  it  to  the  top.  A 
sports  coach  can  act  as  an  agent, putting hopefuls in touch with clubs, societies and 
sponsors to help them turn their hobby into a paying career. 
 
 Disability sports coaching 
Disabled  people  can  face  more  barriers  to  participation  than  non-disabled  people. 
Coaching  can  help  to  prevent  these  barriers  by  encouraging  a  welcoming  and 
inclusive environment for sport and physical activities.

Choice  and accessibility are vital; all disabled people should have the choice between 
accessing  disability  sport  or  mainstream  sport.  A  coach  can  select  appropriate 
activities  and  make  minor  adjustments  for disabled people, which suit their needs, to 
ensure sessions are effective and enjoyable for all participants. 
 
 Sports coaching for children 
If  your  child  shows  a  particular  interest  in  a  sport,  you  may  consider  hiring  a  sports 
coach  to  help  them  -  or  their  team  -  progress  to  a  higher  level.  Sports  coaches  are 
also  becoming  ever  more  utilized  within  schools,  in  order  to  provide  specialized 
knowledge and experience to assist teachers. 
 
Understanding development stages 
Children  are  always  growing.  As  they  get  older,  their  bodies  undergo  fundamental 
biochemical  changes  that  will  inevitably  affect  their  sporting  performances. 
Coaches  are  aware  of  child  development  stages  so  they  can  adapt  training 
programs  over  time  to  match  the  changing  bodies  and  minds  of  the  children  they 
coach. 
 
Assisting Sport in School 
With  the  increased  focus  on  raising  standards  in  PE  and  school  sport  in  recent 
years,  there  have  been  further  requirements  for  teachers  and other practitioners to 
have  access  to  effective  professional  learning.  Sports  coaches  are  one  avenue for 
schools to access this professional development. 
Coaches  can  organize  and  plan  sporting  activities  and  support  the  work  of  PE 
teachers.  In  addition,  this  dedicated  role  within  a  school  setting  can  increase 
participation  levels  in  competitive  sport  and  ensure  that  physical  fitness 
and ​healthy lifestyles​ are continuously promoted to students. 
 
 Sports coaching techniques 
Sports  coaching  isn’t  just  about  developing  physical  attributes  or  skills.  There’s 
much  more  to  it  than  that.  Sports  coaches  often  take  a  holistic  approach  to 
coaching. This means they look at the whole picture rather than just one part. 
 
Enhancing performance 
Sports  coaches  use  visualization  techniques,  relaxation  methods  and  self-talk 
exercises  to  help  athletes  enhance  their  performance  from  a  psychological 
perspective.  Most  athletes  agree  that  thinking  positively  and  visualizing  success 
helps them to reach their goals. 
 
Dealing with failure 
No  one  enjoys  losing  but  this  is  often  an  inevitable  part  of  taking  part  in  sport. So, 
an  important aspect of a sports coach's role is to support athletes through loss and 
to  help  them  to  see  their  failure  not  as  an  end,  but  as  the  beginning  of  a  new 
journey.  Coaches  can  help  players  to  see  the  bigger picture and to work on various 
skills in order to improve weak areas of their sport. This doesn’t necessarily prevent 
failure  in  the  future,  but  it  will  help  to  change  a  player’s  mindset  and  thoughts 
towards their own performance. 
 
Recovering from injury 
Injury  can  have  a  massive  psychological  effect,  not  only  on  professional  athletes 
but  on  those  that  love  sport  and  training.  Athletes  who  suddenly  find  themselves

​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 75 of 123 
cooped  up  at  home  for  weeks  on  end,  unable  to  train,  can  quickly  become 
frustrated,  bored  and  disheartened.  Being  in  pain  can  also  have  a  negative  impact 
on  their  emotional  well-being,  requiring  extra  support  from  sports  coaches to keep 
them focused on recovery. 
 
i.TO UNDERSTAND THE ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY OF A COMMUNITY SPORT COACH. 
 
Role of a community sports coach 
Although  the  coaching  relationship  may  seem  akin  to  that  of  teacher  and  student, 
there  is  often  a  stronger  connection  than  that.  Particularly  in  cases  where  athletes 
progress  towards  a  professional  sporting  level,  coaches can become more involved 
in  the  workings  of  their  life.  The  relationship  between  coach  and  athlete  must  be 
strong, professional and built on mutual trust and respect. 
 
The role of a sports coach is hugely varied, but it mainly involves: 
◻ Teaching rules, techniques and tactics to beginners. 
◻ Help teams and individuals enhance performance. 
◻ Helping sportspersons deal with pressures of a competitive environment. 
◻ ensure participants respect the opposite gender while playing contact sports 
◻ treat all participants equally irrespective of gender and disability 
◻ identify  alternative  activities  as  appropriate  to  meet  changing  needs  of 
participants 
◻ Understands the culture of the community  
◻ Effective communicator  
◻ Trainer in the relevant sports  
◻ First responder in any emergency 
◻ Guide for his players on and off the field 
◻ Link between the institution and the participants 
◻ Motivator 
◻ Manager of failure 
 
Responsibilities of community sports coach 
◻ Conduct appropriate warm-up and lead-up activities 
◻ Apply coaching techniques and strategies as per the training plan 
◻ Ensure first aid kit is complete and easily accessible 
◻ Inform participants of individual and session goals  
◻ Use appropriate cool down activities to end the sessions 
◻ Conclude every session summarizing participants’ progress 
◻ Ensure availability of the required sports equipment 
◻ Set up equipment safely for the planned activity(s) 
◻ Undertake safety checks   
❑ Know various techniques of the sport

❑ Listen to and understand any challenges faced by participants  
❑ Determine the corrective actions for slow and fast learners 
❑ Maintain a count of equipment, machinery etc 
❑ Resolve  conflicts  during  coaching  sessions  Sports,  Physical  Education,  Fitness 
and Leisure  
❑ Interact  with  all  relevant  stakeholders-  parents,  sporting  officials,  athletes  in an 
open and patient manner  
❑ Compare  the  performance  of  participants  on  a  monthly/  quarterly  basis  and 
propose remedial plans  
 
ii.TO UNDERSTAND AND SELECT DIFFERENT COACHING STYLES. 
 
•Command Style 
A  command  style  of  coaching  revolves  around  the  coach  making  the  decisions, 
setting  the  rules,  enforcing  his  directives  and  benching  or  removing  players  who 
don’t  follow  his  orders.  This  is  often  necessary  when  a  coach  has  younger  or 
less-experienced  players  who  need  guidance  in  specific  areas,  such  as  playing 
skills.  It’s  also  necessary  to  help  green  players  develop  in  general  areas  such  as 
goal-setting,  discipline,  stress-management  and  teamwork.  British  Athletics 
performance  coach  Brian  Mac  breaks  this  style of coaching down into ​“telling” and 
“selling” methods​, depending on how the coach delivers his messages. 
 
•Cooperative Style 
Using  a  cooperative  style  of  coaching  requires  a  leader  with  the  confidence  to  let 
players  make  suggestions  and  try  their  own  methods  for  achieving  top 
performance.  This  type  of  coach  still  sets  the  team  rules  and  enforces  them,  but 
might  create  some  of  them  with  her  players  and  asks  for  feedback  as  the  season 
progresses.  While  the  coach  might  have  general  rules  for  team  members,  she 
works  with  each  team  member  to  develop  a  plan  that  works  to  maximize  that 
player’s ability. 
 
•Submissive Style 
New  and  inexperienced  coaches  often  use  a  submissive  style,  especially when the 
players  have  more  experience  than  the  coach.  This  is  often  true  in  a  high  school 
situation  where  a  parent  volunteers  to  “manage”  a  team  because  the  previous 
coach  has  left.  The  players  tell  the  coach  how  things  have  run in the past and how 
they  suggest  practices  should  be  run.  This  can  lead  to  chaos  as  individual  players 
do  their  own  thing,  there  is  no  arbiter  to  settle  disputes  and  no  sense  of  team 
develops.  Use  of  the  submissive  method  might  work  temporarily,  such  as  letting 
the  team  plan  a  social outing, an end-of-practice game or a player meeting during a 
slump. 
 
iii.TO LEARN, AS A COACH, HOW TO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON PARTICIPANTS 
Sports  coaching  usually  takes  a  holistic  approach  to  performance.  Children 
benefit  from  sports  coaching  because  it  teaches  them  skills  they  can  apply  to 
everyday life, including: 
 
Positive impact of a coach 
❖ Appropriate Planning as per the needs of the community 
❖ Preparing well in advance for each session 
❖ Being dressed appropriately

❖ Helps overcome failures 
❖ Kindles sportsman spirit 
❖ Good work ethic

❖ Sportsmanship 
❖ Discipline and focus 
❖ Communication skills

Dr. S. Jayaraman, Asst. Professor, SAI LNCPE, Trivandrum 
 
Planning  is  the  most important element in the coaching process. Coaching sessions need to 
be  planned  to  help  performers  to  achieve  short-,  medium-  and  long-term  goals,  which 
influence  the  content, duration, intensity and structure of the session (Foxon, 2001).Planning 
is  the  crucial  means  of  balancing  and  directing  all  aspects  of  sports  practice,  theory  and 
science  towards  a  definite  goal  in  performance  training.It  serves  as  a  basis  for  checking 
proper  progress  and  for  analysing  possible  causes  of  mistakes.Planning  sets  the  aims 
which determine the whole during the preparation are themselves a means of training. 

Planning Process involves the following points; 

1. Who the groups are 

2. Individual needs 

3. Previous experience and ability 

4. How many players are there in a group 

5. Age of players (junior or adult) 

6. Gender 

7. Length of session  

8. Venue 

9. Facility and equipment needs 

10. Medical information health and safety issues

11. Availability of support staff (Robinson, 2006). 

The Process of Planning involves understanding of the: 

1. Current situation 
2. Where do you want to be 
3. How do you get here 
4. Know when/if you have reached

4 Key Stages 

Planning  Goal Setting  Monitoring  Re-evaluation 


 

Learning to Coach 

Depending  upon  the  ages  of  the  players,  coaching  may  be  seen  as  a  management  and 
facilitating  process while others see it as developing and nurturing talent. It has five different 
phases; 

1. Knowledge and understanding of the game 


2. Reading the game 
3. Determining objectives 
4. Setting priorities 
5. Planning 

Goals and Goal setting 

Goals might relate to the following themes; 

1. Emphasizing your team’s defined measure of success 


2. Providing way for the athletes and coaches to collaborative 
3. Providing way for the athletes to make directive decisions 
4. Pay attention to more than just the physical work of training 
5. Providing opportunities to build relationships (Marshall Milbrath, 2017, Track coach) 

Types of Goals 

a. Outcome: D
​ eals with the specific results in the competition  

b. Performance: D
​ eals with the improvement of performance 

c. Process: ​Deals with the particular Skill 

SMART GOAL SETTING 

● S- SPECIFIC (​Being clear and specific make goals and actions easier to achieve) 
● M- MEASURABLE ​(Measuring process) 
● A- ACTIONABLE ​(You have control over the actions) 
● R-REALISTIC  ​(prevent  overwhelm  that  help  us  breakdown  bigger  items  into  more 
achievable goals) 
● T- TIME BOUND (​ A deadline helps us to stay focused and motivated)

Classification of goals 

Program  Goals​ are  general statements of what the program intends to accomplish. They are 


broad  statements  of  the  kinds  of  learning  we  hope  students  will  achieve  –  they  describe 
learning  outcomes  and  concepts  (what  you  want  students  to  learn)  in  general  terms  (e.g., 
clear communication, problem-‐solving skills, etc. 

Individual  goals  are  instrumental  in  determining  which  groups  people  join  (Beebe  & 
Masterson,  2012).Group  goals  can  reflect  success  for  each  individual.It  is  the  fuel  that 
allows  common  people  to  attain  uncommon  results."  --Andrew  Carnegie.  Balance  (or  lack 
thereof) affects all other variables, and ultimately the overall success of the team. 

Competition and Practice goals 

Practice  is  designed  to  help  you  build  the  skills  necessary  to  compete.  It  is  a  time  to  build 
each skill set that’s important for a sport or any type of competitive performance. 

During competition, you need to just do it! You need to bring out the best skills and let it flow. 
On  competition  day,  many  performers  subconsciously  think  they  ‘need  to  pull  out  the  big 
one’ or ‘will be so much better than yesterday’ 

Different coaching approaches 

Core skills needed for a coaching approach 


There  is  a  core  set  of  coaching  skills  whether  it  is  as  part  of  an  informal  coaching 
conversation  or  a  formal  coaching  approach.  The  skills  are  built  upon  the  foundation of the 
values and behaviours for coaching: 
i. Attending  ​to  the  other  person  involved  in  a  coaching  approach,  building  rapport 
with them and seeking to understand what is going on for them. 
ii. Listening  ​actively  and  carefully  to  the  other  person  and  paying  attention  to  what 
they are saying and how they are saying it. 
iii. Summarising  ​or ​paraphrasing ​what the other person has said as a way of helping 
them  reflect  on  their  own  situation,  rather  than  giving  advice  or  adding  your own 
judgement. 
iv. Using  open  questions  ​which  encourage  the  other  person  to  say  more,  to  reflect 
and understand more about their own situation. 
v. Being  prepared  to  give  honest,  clear  and  specific  feedback  ​while  making  sure 
the relationship stays positive and open. 
vi. Athlete centric approach 
 

Athlete-centred  coaching  is  a  method  of  sport  coaching  proposed  to  enhance  performance 
(Lyle,  2002),  develop life skills (Kidman & Lombardo,2010), and prevent athlete maltreatment 
(Kerr  &  Stirling,  2008).It  is  a  process  by  which  “athletes  gain  and  take  ownership  of 
knowledge,  development  and  decision  making  that  will  help  them  to  maximise  their 
performance and their enjoyment” (Kidman & Lombardo, 2010, p.13).

​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 82 of 123 
It diminishes the ‘win-at-all-costs’ approach that so often characterizes sport.It is well 
known  that  the  primary  concerns  of  performance  athletes,  coaches,  and  sporting 
organizations  typically  revolve  around  winning  games, making money, and being champions 
(Kidman & Lombardo, 2010). 

vii. Coach centric approach 


It  is  like  an  autocratic  approach.  The  coach's  desire  and  actions  are  fulfilled.  This 
may  not  be  the  recommended  approach  all  the  time  and  at  the  same  time  this  sort  of 
approach  to  be  handled  by  the  coach  based  on  the  needs  of  the  situation.  When  a  coach 
teaches  the  throwing  or  highly  complicated  event,  this  kind  of  approach  really  helps  to 
control over the athletes. 

viii. Constraints Approach 


The  constraints-based  approach  to  instruction  encourages  the  learner  to  discover 
effective  skill  technique  and  develop  tactical  awareness  through participation in short-sided 
modified games. 

ix. Game centred approach 


Game  sense  is  a  means  of  coaching  or  teaching  that  uses  small-sided  modified 
games to develop tactical and strategic thinking, as well as movement skill performance. 

x. Technique centred approach 


Isolating  the  skill  from  the  whole  game  to prioritise it’s development over game play. 
Using skills to facilitate development of movement patterns, then applied to the game.

Managing  the  relationship  with  all  the  stakeholders  to  draw  the  best  output  in  the  sporting 
ecosystem is an important skill required for a coach.  

The  coach  has  to  have  a  great  relationship  with  the  athlete,  parents,  administrators,  other 
coaches, officials etc.  

To  manage  the  athlete  efficiently  the coach has to set a model by himself for the athlete. He 


has  to  show  the  qualities  of  leadership,  sportsmanship,  ethics,  communication  skills, 
respectful actions, punctuality, responsibility, honesty, self-discipline and self-control.  

The coaching style that the coach adopts also has got an impact on the athlete’s attitude. An 
autocratic  coach  will  be  bossy  and  authoritarian  where he takes all the decisions by self. He 
thrusts  on  discipline  and  likes  to  be  in  his  control.  Whereas  a  democratic  coach  will  be  a 
guide  and  will  take  decisions  by  discussion with the athlete. A Laissez Faire coach would be 
a casual coach who let the situation go as it is. However selecting a particular coaching style 
depends on the nature of the athlete and the situation.  

Further  to  develop  a  strong  relationship  with  the  athlete  the  coach  has  to  communicate 
positively,  reinforce  the athlete, make himself available for the athlete, show genuine interest 
in him and should develop trust.

​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 84 of 123 
To  manage  parents  the  coach  should  educate  the  parents  regarding the basics of the sport, 
develop  a  code  of  conduct  for  them,  conduct  parents  meetings  at the beginning of the year, 
educate positive parenting behaviors and have positive two way communication with them. 

The  administrators expect the coach to learn the basic managerial functions, stay organized, 
keep the administrator informed and keep records and stay within the budget.  

To successfully manage other coaches, the coach should give due respect and role for them, 
assign  positions  based  on  qualifications,  help  them  to  prepare,  communicate  properly, 
provide  formal  and  informal  evaluations  and  recognize the assistant coach’s contribution to 
the team’s performance.  

Officials  are  controlling  the game and to manage them successfully, deal with respect, avoid 


irritating  the  officials,  question  them genuinely, avoid intimidation, help them to officiate and 
thank them.  

To  be  an  influential  coach  the  coach  should  have  a  developmental  philosophy,  be  a  role 
model  by  self,  have  sound  knowledge  in  the  sports,  show  concern  for  the  athlete and focus 
on the wholesome development of the athlete.

Effective Communication 
Prof. Kalpana Sharma, Ph.D. & EMBA, Dean Faculty of Education & Director ASPESS 
 
Panchmukhi Siksha –  
The  oldest  India  Education  System  had  Physical  Education  as  one  aspect  of  personality 
development of the child 

Communication  is  important  for  holistic  development  of  the  child.  Academic  Excellence  is 
only an aspect of holistic human development  

Components of PANCHMUKHI SIKSHA -  

1. PHYSICAL 
2. PRACTICAL 
3. AESTHETIC 
4. MORAL 
5. INTELLECTUAL

Communication is a two-way process between teacher / coach and student / player.  

Objective  of  communication  has  to  very  clear to change behavior, bring the athlete in action, 


ensuring understanding, persuading him or to get and give information.  

Issues related to communication:  

Information is the key to success.  

Ineffective  communication  leads  to  frustration  for  student  and  teacher,  provocation, 
non-attentiveness, lack of feedback, insecurity and inferences.  

Frustration  restricts  us  to  what  we  are saying, restricts us to the way we are saying, restricts 


us to what we have to actually do.  

Provocation  has  to  be  controlled.  We  have  to  change  our  way  of  handling  small  children, 
adolescents and Seniors.

​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 87 of 123 
Non-attentiveness  will  lead  to  lack  of  feedback,  clear  communication  to  the  children  / 
players  about  their  performances,  setting  clear  expectations  clear.  It  is  important  to  set  the 
expectations very clearly during and after every match / session. 

Insecurity and inferences insecurity leads to lack in confidence. 

Communication Strategies 

1. What and how you say 


2. Cultural and Gender differences 
3. Inclusivity 

Key aspects 

1. BE CLEAR AND CONCISE 


2. BE HONEST 
3. REINFORCE WITH REPETITION 
4. OWN YOUR MESSAGE 

Be  clear  and  concise.  Be  honest.  It  is  important  to  be  honest  to  put  those  words  which one 
can honor later on.  

Create a positive environment for students and give freedom to talk.  

Be Conscious of External Factors 

1. Importance of Location 
a. Never reprimand a player in front of their teammates 
b. It is usually best to talk one on one 
2. Importance of Timing 
a. Send your message in the moment instead of putting it off. 
b. If  the  message  is  sent  during  the  situation,  they  are  more  likely  to  remember 
and associate the message with the situation next time. 

Free Expressions lead to Happiness 


Teachers have to ensure that that child is expressing. 

Give  him of freedom to express. Encourage trust and confidence. Create an open door policy 
in discussing with children by promoting democratic style. 

This will lead to better performances for children and happiness.  

If  Coaches/Teachers  talk  in  a  harsh  tone,  the  player  may  listen  to  the  tone  of the message, 
rather than the message itself.  

Use Sandwich Approach: 


Use  a  positive  approach  where  it  is  acceptable,  so avoid negativity by using the sandwich to 
constructive criticism. A positive, the future oriented instruction example will be: 

“Your  effort  level  is  great.  Next  time  try  to  get  lower  when  you  are  shooting  the  ball,  keep  up 
the good.” 
 
Communication  is  about  effective  handling  situations  for team or individual, making queries 

© SAI Lakshmibai National College for Physical Education | w


​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 88 of 123 
about  appeals  against  decisions,  handle  abuses  towards  officials  or  opponents,  abuses  of 
equipment, not happy with selection decisions. 

When  the  team  or  athlete  accomplishes  something  please  write  down  you  know  what  is  to 
be done and what not to be done.  

Reward  through immediate appreciation their efforts, what team did well and showcase that. 
Positive things build an athlete's self-esteem. 

Lack  of  confidence  leads  to  developing  a  fear  of  failure  in  them.  So  positively  motivate 
teams, give them a process for improving their performance.  

Never  nag  or  threaten  the  athletes.  Never  remove  the  offending  athlete  from  the  team  and 
identify what they need to do. Identify the positives and set clear expectations.  

Every  session  should  have  an  outcome.  Tell  the  student  what  he/she  has  to  do  after  the 
session.  Help  players  understand  all  aspects  of  the  game.  Ask  questions  to  enable them to 
understand the key principles for successful play in different situations.  

Positive Coaching: 
Positive coaching helps kids to improve, and helps them to enjoy the sport.  

Being positive also means giving praise for effort, and not just for ability.  

Good  teachers  concentrate  on  praising  effort  and  how  hard  the  player  tries,  because  they 
know  that  the  players  will  try  harder  and  will  make  greater  improvements.  It  is  important  to 
show encouragement, not just through the words, through language and facial expressions.  

Little  tips such as crouching down to their level, smiling clapping or giving a thumbs up when 
they achieve something, is important to young players.  

Make  sure  players  work  on  the  things  they  can  do  and don't worry about what they can't do. 
If  a  child  can  see  their  own  improvements,  they  will  stay  interested  in  the  game  and  will  be 
happy to work on the areas they find more difficult.

Ask  children  questions  and  listen  to  their  answers.  Communication  is  very  important  for 
improvement. See now that we've explained the principles of being a positive coach. 

Communication is equal to being positive for a teacher or coach.  

Here for examples of how communication has to be handled by the teachers or the coaches. 

1. Avoid  generalizations  in  all  our  communications  -  simply  describe  exactly  what  you 
saw. 
2. Talk  about  behaviour,  not  the  person.  Use  neutral  pronoun  “it”  so  that  team  doesn’t 
get defensive. Use phrases such as “It makes me feel” instead of “You make me feel” 
3. Stay  clear  of  words  that  imply  motive  or  attitude  such  as  uncooperative  and  not  a 
team player.  
4. Don't  make  the  team  member  feel  neutralised.  You  may  have  to yell out “stop” when 
an athlete is making the same mistake over and over.  

“A Coach is Someone who can give Correction without Resentment” - ​Coach John Wooden.  

Summary: 
Physical Education teacher or a Community Coach must do the following: 

1. Set Real expectations, so that there is Reduced Stress 


2. Work on different forms of good communication 
3. Work on the ​Tone​ of Communication  
4. Have good listening skills to be able communicate better 
5. Encourage free expression, happiness and Positivity  
6. Have pragmatic engagement With athletes

Dr. Narendra Gangwar, AIFF Instructor, Assistant Professor, SAI LNCPE, Trivandrum 
 
The  unit  gives  an overview of what is the means of a coach in action and how it is important, 
both  from  a  coach  and  trainees  point  of  view. It also describes the guiding principles for the 
organization  of  sessions  and  to  achieve  the  goals  of  particular  training  sessions  it  also 
describes  various  approaches  a  coach  required  to  be a role model coach for the community 
sport.  The  unit  also  describes different coaching styles. It also explains the opportunities for 
a  coach  to  have  a  positive  impact  on  participants  by  making  training  enjoyable,  interesting, 
involving  all  and  learning  oriented.  The  primary  focus  of  this  unit  has  been  to  execute  the 
planned training session according to the needs of the participants and available resources. 
 
Training Session Plan (Micro Cycle) 
Training session plan​  
The Training  session  plan is  a  guide  for  the  trainer,  not  a  script.  Most  trainers  use session 
plans. They provide a focus for the training, they remind the trainer of the key points and they 
provide  a  record  of  the  training  if  it's  to  be  used  again.  The  standard  format  for planning a 
training session is: Introduction. 
 
Micro Cycle 
A ​micro  cycle​ refers  to  the  smallest  unit  within  a  mesocycle;  usually  a  week  of  training.  By 
structuring  your  season  with  these  cycles  in  mind,  you  can  ensure  that  you're  building  and 
recovering adequately for optimal adaptation

1. Match The Coaching Approach To Participants Needs 


Coaching​  
Coaching is  a  form  of  development  in  which  an  experienced  person,  called  a  coach, 
supports  a  learner  or trainees in achieving a specific personal or professional goal by 
providing  training  and  guidance.  The  learner  is  sometimes  called  a  trainee,  players 
etc.  Coaching  is  also  called  as  changing  the  behaviour  of  the  learners  towards  the 
learning process. 
 
All  coaches  have  different  approaches,  use  different  frameworks,  tools  and 
techniques  and  have  a  different  personal  flavour.  What  suits  one  person  just  won’t 
suit  someone  else.  The  fit  between  you,  your  coach  and  the  coaching  approach  is 
critical for your learning comfort and success 
 
In  recent  years,  we’ve  been  focussing  more  particularly  on  leadership  and  personal 
mastery  skills  development,  providing individual and team-based coaching in a range 
of  different  contexts  –  executive  and  leadership  coaching, change management and 
team  coaching,  conversational  coaching,  self-development  and  performance 
improvement  coaching,  and  coaching  for  personal  and  emotional  mastery  –  as  well 
as  helping  people  develop  their  own  coaching  skills  to  take  on  a  more  facilitative, 
coaching style of leadership.

Community Officiating: General Principles 


Dr. Gajanana Prabhu B., Asst. Professor, Department of Post Graduate Studies & Research in 
Physical Education, Kuvempu University 
 
Introduction 

For  successful  sports  and  games  competitions,  all  competitors  should  have  equal 
opportunities  to  excel.Rules  and  regulations  become  essential  for  providing  equal 
opportunities  to  in  proving  their  worth  in  competitions.Supervision  is  required  for 
implementation  of rules and regulations in a fair and effective manner.These supervisors are 
called  ‘Officials’.Different  nomenclatures  like  Referee,  Umpires,  Judge  etc.  are  used  for 
officials  involved  in  officiating.  An  official  is  a  neutral  person  with  absolute  powers  who 
observes  the  proceedings  and  gives  decisions  within  the  framework  of  rules.An  official 
managing the game within the purview of rules is called ‘Officiating’. 

Qualities of an official 

An  official irrespective of game or sports shall necessarily have the qualities likeConsistency 
in  decisions;  apt  Judgement;  Objectivity  in  functioning;  Self-confidence  and  courage to face 
situations;  Calmness  during  struggling  conditions;  Fairness  in  practice;  Politeness  in  deeds 
as  well  as  words;  Cooperation  with  all;  Professionalism  in  approach;  Emotional  Intelligence 
in dealing people around; appropriate appearance; equipped with suitable attire and Personal 
Equipment; acceptable pose; right attitude; Trained and certified by a Sport regulating body. 

Responsibilities of an official 

An  official  has  to  perform  his  duties  in  three  situations:  pre  game,  during  game  and  post 
game. The duties are enlisted as below: 

Pre-game responsibilities 

1. Knowing  the  manual-  Cover  it  frequently  during  the  season  for  game  situations  and 
Review as part of your pre-game conference.

​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 98 of 123 
2. Arriving on time 
3. Pre-game discussion 
4. Inspection of facilities 
5. Introduction of fellow officials to each other 
6. Examining score sheets and clocks 
 

During game responsibilities 

1. Creating goodwill 
2. Indifferent and impartial 
3. Protection from injuries 
4. Uniformity in decisions 
5. Ensure uninterrupted free flow of game 
6. Conscious about positional play 
 

Post-game responsibilities 

1. Congratulating winners and wishing the losers 


2. Signatures on score sheets 
3. Cooperation during protests 
4. Doping protocols 
5. Confirming the results 
6. Self-reflection 
7. Seeking feedback 
8. Dealing with Athletes who fail in Doping 

Practical tips for effective and successful officiating 

1. Communicate  well  with  players,  coaches,  fellow  officials,  volunteers,  parents/ 


caretakers,  Spectators,  Organizers  etc.  Listening  well  becomes  important  in  certain 
situations.  Also,  officials  should  learn  to  ignore  certain  things  as  per  situation. 
Acceptance for criticism is the first step for improvement. 
2. Decision  making  capabilities  of  officials  are  constantly  under  scrutiny.  Therefore  an 
official  should  always  observe  the  proceedings  keenly.  Using  experience  and 
thorough  knowledge  of  the  rules,  terminologies  and  mastery  over  signals  becomes 
inevitable.  The  decision  making  is  sometimes  based  on  rhythm,  tempo  and 
anticipation.  Proximity  of  the  official  to  the  situation  plays  a  key  role  in  his  decision 
making.Interdependence  on  fellow  officials  and  undisturbed  focus  are  some  of  the 
key aspects of good decision making. 
3. Need  to  manage  conflicts  by  either  (i)  reducing  conflicts  or  (ii)  Settlement  of 
conflicts.  The  conflicts  can  be  reduced  through  internal  factors  including  Mental 
state,  timely  behavior,  ready  for  unexpected,  ignoring  criticism,  self  control  and 
Reliability.  External  factors  like  appearance,  presence  of  mind,  Assertiveness  and 
Indifference  also  play  an  important  role.  In  certain  situations,  settlement of conflicts 
by  officials  may be required. In the rational level it will be essential to enquire from all 
corners.  Appropriate  words,  language  and  body  language  usage  plays  an  important 
role.  In  certain  situations  observing  silence  or  even  humor  can  settle  conflicts.In the

practical  level,  critically  observing,  avoiding  proximity  with  anyone  and  speaking 
formally can settle disputes. 
4. Officials should always remember their ethical responsibilities. 
5. Written  and  oral  communications  provide  messages,  instructions,  information  and 
feedback  to  a  wide  range  of  people in the sporting environment.An important task of 
many  officials  is  to  complete  a  report  after  the  competition.  Essential  for officials is 
to  ensure  that  what  is  reported  is:  honest,  respectful,  trustworthy  and  Integrity  in 
report delivery. 

Conclusion 

An  official  shall  possess  the  right  skills  and  attitude  to  perform  pre-game,  during  game 
and  post  game  responsibilities.  Being  a  neutral  person  and  giving  decisions  within  the 
framework  of  rules  is  utmost  important.  Communicating  effectively  and  objectively  by 
means  of  verbal  and  non-verbal  cues  is  a  crucial  aspect  of  good  officiating.  Officials 
should  have  the  ability  to  take  decisions  under  pressure  and  manage  conflicts  well. 
Being ethically fair, upright and tactful is utmost necessary under all circumstances.

Ensuring Continuity in Sports 


Dr. Ashutosh Acharya, Asst. Professor, SAI LNCPE, Trivandrum 
   
Athletes  and  coaches  generally  focus  on  physical  training  to  master  sports  skills.  However, 
mental  and  emotional  skills  training  can  be  just  as  important for success in sports. The aim 
of  sports  psychology  is  to  address  the  mental  and emotional needs of athletes. This boosts 
their  sports  performance  to  the  highest  level  possible.Everyone  experiences  stress,  but 
many  athletes  experience  unique  internal  and  external  pressure  to  excel both on and off the 
playing  field.  Sports  psychologists  work  with  athletes  to  help  manage  these  stressors, 
improve  their  sports  performance,  and  develop  emotional  balance.Today,  mental  skills 
training  has  become  as  much  a  part  of  athletic  success  as  strength,  power,  and  endurance 
training.  In  this  section  various  important  aspects  of  psychology  would  be  discussed,  such 
as 

● Motivation 
● Goal Setting 
● Concentration 
● Aggression 
● Arousal Regulation 

MOTIVATION 

Motivation  can  be  defined  simply  as  the  direction  and  intensity  of  one’s effort (Sage, 1977). 
Sport  and  exercise  psychologists  can  view  motivation  from  several  specific  vantage points, 
including  achievement  motivation,  motivation  in  the  form  of competitive stress and intrinsic 
and  extrinsic  motivation.  These  varied  forms  of  motivation  are  all  parts  of the more general 
definition of motivation. 

Definitions of Motivation:  

According  to  B.F.  Skinner,  “Motivation  in  school  learning  involves  arousing,  persisting, 
sustaining and directing desirable behavior.”  

According  to  Woodworth,  “Motivation  is  the  state  of  the  individual  which  disposes  him  to 
certain behavior for seeking a goal.”

Motivational Process 

Need  is  the  origin  of  any  motivated  behavior.  Need  is  a  felt  deprivation  of  physiological  or 
psychological  well-being.  Needs  exist  in  each  individual  in  varying  degrees.  When  an 
individual  recognizes  a  need,  he  is driven by a desire to fulfill the need. Drives are directed at 
fulfillment  of  needs.  Drives  are  action-oriented  and  provide  an  energizing  thrust  toward 
reaching  a  goal.  Incentives  or  goals  are  the  instruments  used  to  induce  people  to  follow  a 
desired  course  of  action.  Once  the  goal  is  attained,  the  physiological  or  psychological 
balance is restored and the drive is cut off. 

Types of Motivation 

Building Motivation with five guidelines 

The  interactional  model  of  motivation  has  important  implications  for  teachers,  coaches, 
trainers,  exercise  leaders,  and program administrators. In fact, some fundamental guidelines 
for building motivation are as follows. 

● Consider Both Situations and Traits in Motivating People 


● Understand People’s Multiple Motives for Involvement  
● Change the Environment to Enhance Motivation 
● Influence Motivation 
● Use Behavior Modification to Change Undesirable Participant Motives 

GOAL SETTING 

© SAI Lakshmibai National College for Physical Education | w


​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 102 of 123 
One-way  people  in  sport  and  exercise  have  often  looked  at  goals  is  through  the  notion  of 
objective  and  subjective  goals.  Objective  goals  focus  on  “attaining  a  specific  standard  of 
proficiency  on  a  task,  usually  within  a  specified  time”  (Locke  &  Latham,  2002,  p.  705). 
Attempting  to  attain  a  specified  level  of  weight  loss  within  3  months,  aiming  for  a  certain 
team  win–  loss  record  by  the  end  of the season, and achieving a lower performance time by 
the  next competition are all examples of objective goals. Subjective goals, on the other hand, 
are  general  statements  of  intent  (e.g.,  “I  want  to  do  well”;  “I  want  to  have  fun”)  that  are  not 
measurable or objective. 

Types of goal setting 

Principles of Goal setting  

A  number  of  goal-setting  principles  can  be  identified  from  research  and  practice  (Gould, 
2005;  Murphy,  1996).  The  correct  application  of  these  principles  provides  a  strong 
foundation  for  designing  a  goal-setting  program.  However,  although  research  can  provide 
the  “science”  of  setting  goals, the “art” of setting goals (when and for whom should goals be 
set)  can be practiced only by the coach or individual performer. In essence, the effectiveness 
of  any  goal-setting  program  is  dependent  on  the  interaction  between  individuals  and  the 
situation in which the individuals are placed. These are the principles of goal setting: 

1. Set specific goals.  


2. Set moderately difficult but realistic goals.  
3. Set long- and short-term goals. 
4. Set performance and process, as well as out-come, goals.  
5. Set practice and competition goals.  
6. Record goals.  
7. Develop goal achievement strategies.  
8. Consider the participant’s personality and motivation.  
9. Foster an individual’s goal commitment.  
10. Provide goal support.

11. Provide evaluation of and feedback about goals. 

CONCENTRATION 

Moran  (2004)  stated  that  “concentration  refers  to  a  person’s  ability  to  exert  deliberate 
mental  effort  on  what  is  most  important  in  any  given  situation”  (p.  103).  You  also  hear 
popular  metaphors  for  concentration  such  as  “spotlight”  or  “zoom  lens.”  But  a  useful 
definition of concentration in sport and exercise settings typically contains four parts:  

1. Focusing on the relevant cues in the environment (selective attention),  


2. Maintaining that attentional focus over time,  
3. Having awareness of the situation and performance errors,  
4. Shifting attentional focus when necessary. 

Types of attentional focus 

Nideffer  described  attentional  focus  along  two  dimensions:  width  (broad  or  narrow)  and 
direction (external or internal).  

● A broad attentional focus allows  a  person  to  perceive  several  occurrences 


simultaneously.  This  is  particularly  important  in  sports  in  which  athletes  have  to  be 
aware  of  and  sensitive  to  a  rapidly  changing  environment  (i.e.,  they  must respond to 
multiple  cues).  Two  examples are a basketball point guard leading a fast break and a 
soccer player dribbling the ball upfield.  
● A narrow attentional focus  occurs  when  you  respond  to  only  one  or  two  cues,  as 
when a baseball batter prepares to swing at a pitch or a golfer lines up a putt. 
● An  external  attentional  focus  directs attention outward to an object, such as a ball in 
baseball  or  a  puck  in  hockey,  or  to  an  opponent’s  movements,  such  as  in  a  doubles 
match in tennis.  
● An  internal  attentional  focus  is  directed  inward  to  thoughts  and  feelings,  as  when  a 
coach  analyzes  plays  without having to physically perform, a high jumper prepares to 
start her run-up, or a bowler prepares for his approach. 

Attentional Problems 

Internal Distractors 

1. Attending to Past Events 


2. Attending to future events 
3. Choking under pressure 
4. Over analyzing body mechanics 
5. Fatigue 
6. Inadequate Motivation 
External Distractors 

1. Visual Distractors 
2. Auditory Distractors 
 
Methods for enhancing concentration

1. Use of Simulation Practice 


2. Use Cue words

3. Use Non-Judgmental Thinking 
4. Establish Routines 
5. Develop Competition Plan 
6. Develop Eye Control 
7. Monitor Yourself 
8. Overlearn skills 
 

AGGRESSION IN SPORTS 

The  term  aggression  is  used  to  describe  forceful  behaviour  in  sport.  The  smash  in 
badminton,  fast  bowling in cricket or a punch thrown in anger are some examples of ballistic 
actions  that  have  been  classified  wrongly  as  aggressive  acts.  Not  all  of  these  examples, 
however,  can strictly be defined as aggression. Two definitions of aggression given by Baron 
and Bull are:  

‘Aggression  is  any behaviour that is intended to harm another individual by physical or verbal 


means.’ (Bull, 1990)  

‘Aggression  is  any  form  of  behaviour directed toward the goal of harming or injuring another 


living being who is motivated to avoid such treatment.’ (Baron)  

The  smash  in  badminton  is  not  intended  to  injure  nor  is  it  directed  to  the  goal  of  inflicting 
harm. The term aggression therefore needs to be clearly defined. 

Types of aggression 

Curtailing Aggression and Violence by Athletes  

1. Young  athletes  must  be  provided  with  models  of  nonaggressive  but  effective 
assertive behaviour.  
2. Athletes who engage in aggressive acts must be severely penalized 
3. The  penalty  or  punishment  that  an  athlete  receives  for  an  act of aggression must be 
of greater punitive value than the potential reinforcement received. 

© SAI Lakshmibai National College for Physical Education | w


​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 105 of 123 
4. Coaches  who  encourage  or  even  allow  their  athletes  to  engage  in  aggressive 
behaviour should be fined or suspended from their coaching duties.  
5. External  stimuli  or  cues  capable  of  evoking  hostile  aggression  on  the  field  of  play 
should be removed.  
6. Coaches  and  referees  should  be  encouraged  to  attend in-service training workshops 
on dealing with aggression on the part of players.  
7. In  addition  to  receiving  punishment  for  acts  of  aggression,  athletes  should  receive 
rewards  and  praise  for  showing  restraint  and  patience  in  emotionally  charged 
situations.  
8. Strategies  and  coping  skills  designed  to  curtail  acts  of  aggression  should  be 
practiced.  
9. Social  interaction  between  members  of  opposing  teams  should  be  encouraged  by 
coaches and managers during the days leading up to a contest. 

AROUSAL REGULATION 

Arousal  is  a  blend  of  physiological  and  psychological activity in a person, and it refers to the 


intensity  dimensions  of  motivation  at  a  particular  moment.  The  intensity  of  arousal  falls 
along  a  continuum  ranging  from  not  at  all  aroused  to  completely  aroused (i.e., frenzied; see 
Gould,  Greenleaf,  &  Krane,  2002).  Highly  aroused  individuals  are  mentally  and  physically 
activated;  they  experience  increased  heart  rates,  respiration,  and  sweating.  Arousal  is  not 
automatically  associated  with  either  pleasant  or  unpleasant  events.  You  might  be  highly 
aroused  by  learning  that  you have won a lottery. You might be equally aroused by learning of 
the death of a loved one. 

Anxiety 

Anxiety  is  a  negative  emotional  state  characterized  by  nervousness,  worry,  and 
apprehension and associated with activation or arousal of the body. 

Types of Anxiety 

Somatic  anxiety,  also  known  as  somatization,  is  the  physical  manifestation  of  anxiety.  It  is 
commonly  contrasted with cognitive anxiety, which is the mental manifestation of anxiety, or 
the specific thought processes that occur during anxiety, such as concern or worry.  

State  anxiety  reflects  the  psychological and physiological transient reactions directly related 


to  adverse  situations  in  a  specific  moment.  In contrast, the term trait anxiety refers to a trait 
of  personality,  describing  individual  differences  related  to  a  tendency  to  present  state 
anxiety. 

Arousal and Sport Performance Relationship

Anxiety Reduction Techniques 

Examples of such strategies taught by sport psychologists include the following. 

● Breathing Exercises. 
● Progressive Muscular Relaxation. 
● Biofeedback.  
● Transcendental Meditation.  
● Mindfulness Meditation.  
● Autogenic Training.  
● Imagery. 

CONCLUSION 

All  the  PE  teachers  and  Community  coaches  must  ensure  the  continuity  in  sports  by 
preventing  the  athlete  burnout  and  early  drop  outs  in  sports.  To  effectively  deliver  the  roles 
and  responsibilities  one  must  have  the  knowledge  of  various  aspects  of  sport  psychology 
along  with  other  allied  sciences  too.  Promotion  of  lifelong  fitness should be the motto of all 
the PE Teachers and Community coaches.

Ethics and Decision Making 


Dr. Sandeep Tiwari, Associate Professor, Head, Department of Physical Education, Indira 
Gandhi Institute of Physical Education & Sports Sciences, University of Delhi 
 
ETHICS AND SPORTSMANSHIP 
Ethics  is  a  much  broader  term  than  sportsmanship.  Ethics  refers  to  moral  standards  that 
apply  to  all  aspects  of  human  activity  while  sportsmanship  refers  to  “the  ethical framework 
and  standards  of  conduct  that  define  the  honorable  pursuit  of  victory  in  competitive 
activities”.  
 
The  goal  in  sportsmanship  is  not  simply  to  win,  but  to  pursue  victory  with  honor  by  giving 
one's best effort. 
 
The  essential  elements  of  character  building  and  ethics  in  sports  are  embodied  in  the 
concept of sportsmanship and six core principles:  
 
1. trustworthiness,  
2. respect, 
3. responsibility,  
4. fairness,  
5. caring and  
6. good citizenship. 
 
1. Trustworthiness 
The  principles  of  ethics  and  sportsmanship  require  coaches  and  athletes  to  always  behave 
in  ways  that  justify  and  generate trust. This includes demonstrating scrupulous integrity and 
honesty, keeping promises, and being loyal. 
 
A-Honor the Letter and Spirit of Rules 
Rules regarding: 
regulating  recruitment,  eligibility,  compensation,  practice  limitations,  equipment  tampering  " 
ball Tampering, drug and alcohol use, etc.

​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 108 of 123 
 
B. Never Cheat 
Cheating  is  defined  as  deliberately  violating  the  rules  or  traditions  of  a  game  to  gain  an 
unfair advantage.  
 
C-Don’t Lie or Deceive in Communications or Representations 
A coach should not lie or deceive an athlete, parent or official in any representation.  
 
D-Don’t fake Injuries 
The  concept  of  faking  is  for  opponents,  not  sports  officials.  Thus,  it  is  consistent  with 
integrity to fake an injury to gain advantage or extra time.  
 
E-Sometimes call plays against oneself 
In  volleyball,  many  coaches  train  their  players to call a 'touch' if a ball hits them before going 
out of bounds and the official misses the play. 
 
2.RESPECT 
Good  sportsmanship  requires  participants  to behave respectfully, being civil, polite and even 
gracious. Coaches are expected to treat athletes, parents, officials and others with respect. 
 
A-.Win and Lose .with Class" 
A  Sport  should  be  looked  at  as  an  honorable  contest  of  athletic  skill.  The  duty  to  show 
respect  for  one’s  opponents  and  the  game  itself  requires  coaches  and  their  athletes  to 
demonstrate grace and respectful civility whether they win or lose. 
 
B. Demonstrate Appreciation of Opponent 
Players  should  willingly  and  graciously  acknowledge  good  plays  and  outstanding  effort  of 
opponents. 
 
C- Help a fallen Opponent 
D-Shake Hands .with or Cheer Opponents .with Sincere Respect 
E-Don’t fight with the Opponents. 
F- Don’t permit Taunting 
G- Assist Opponent 
H- Show Respect for Athletes 
I-Respecting Beliefs 
J-Avoid harassment of all sort 
K-Show Respect for Teammates 
L-Show respect for Officials 
M-Show respect for parents. 
N- Show respect for Fans. 
 
3. RESPONSIBILITY

National Sports Ethic Commission Bill 
In  November  2017,  the  passage  was  cleared  for  the  review  of  the  National  Sports  Ethic 
Commission Bill by the Indian Parliament.  
 
The  bill  was  designed  by  Shri  Anurag  Thakur,  former  India  BCCI  cricket  Chairman  and 
Member  of Parliament in 2016 with an objective to curb the malpractices in the Indian sports 
arena. 
 
The  objectives  of  the  bill  is  to  provide  for  the  constitution  of  a  National  Sports  Ethics 
Commission  to  ensure  the  establishment  of  “ethical  practices  and  fair  play  in  sports 
including: 
1. elimination of doping practices,  
2. match fixing 
3. fraud of age  
4. sexual  harassment  of  women  in  sports  and  for  matters  connected  therewith  or 
incidental thereto”. 
5. no  member  of  the  National  Commission,  after  serving as a member, shall be entitled 
to seek any position or benefit in any Sports Federation. 
 
Section  16  of  the  bill  states  that  any  person  including  a  member  of  any  sports federation, a 
coach  or  a  sportsperson, who has been found guilty of sexual harassment, shall be debarred 
by  the  Sports  Federation  from  participating  in  any  existing  or  future  sports  event  in  any 
capacity,  whether  as  a  member  of  any  Sports  Federation  or  coach  or  sportsperson  or 
otherwise. 
 
The bill takes a no-nonsense approach on doping and states that  
“Any  sportsperson,  who under this discretion or under the influence of a coach or a member of 
Sports  Federation,  indulges in substance abuse or any form of doping as specified in the Code 
of  Ethics  of  Sports  Federation,  and  the  Coach  or  the  member  of  Sports  Federation  who 
influenced  the  sportsperson,  shall  be  punished  with  rigorous  imprisonment  for  a  term  which 
shall  not  be  less  than  ten  years  and/or  with a fine of ten lakh rupees and also will be debarred 
by  the  Sports  Federation  from  participating  in  any  existing  or  future  sports  event  in  any 
capacity,  whether  as  a  member  of  any  Sports  Federation  or  coach  or  sports  person  or 
otherwise”.

​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 113 of 123 
The  bill  takes  cognizance  of  this  fact  and  Section  17  of  the  bill  broadens  the  definition  of 
match  fixing  to  include  instances  of  deliberate  underperformance  by  individual  sports 
person  or  coach  or  member  or  Sports  Federation  upon  receiving  money,  individual  sports 
person  or  coach  or  member  of  Sports  Federation  or  a  group  of  them  placing  s  bets  in 
athletic  competitions  in  which  they  play  or  influence  decision  that  shall naturally undermine 
the  performance,  passing  information  to  a  betting  syndicate,  preparing  match  conditions 
that  suit  the  betting  syndicate,  and  acting  as  a  mediator  between  players  and  the  betting 
syndicate. 
 
In  order  to  give  more  teeth  to  the  various legislations, the bill also calls for penalizing sports 
persons  or  coaches  or  members  of  the  Sports  Federation  or  any  other  person,  who  willfully 
fails to comply with the order of the National Commission. 
 
The  Bill  fulfills  the  purpose  of  fair  play,  and  creating  a  conducive  environment  for  sports  in 
India  and  if  given  legal  sanction  will  go  a  long  way  in  ensuring  the  end  of  all  malpractices 
and unfair means in sports in India.

Why Fitness for All? 
Physical  fitness  is  the  ability  to  perform  day  to  day  normal  activities  with  vigour,  alertness, 
without  undue  fatigue,  and  with  ample  energy  to  enjoy  leisure-time  pursuits  and  meet  any 
unforeseen emergencies.  

The  goal  of  fit  society  can  be  achieved  when,  along  with  children,  the  parents  and  teachers 
also  participate  in  fitness  activities.  Physical  fitness  is  considered  as  the  best  medicine  for 
maintaining  a  healthy  lifestyle  and  for  improving  immunity.  According  To  WHO  (2017 
report),  over  61%  of  all  deaths  in  India  are  due  to  non-communicable  diseases  (NCDs) 
including  lifestyle  diseases.  Obesity  rate  of  12-19  years  has  tripled  since  1070,  70%  of  the 
urban  population  is  overweight,  1/3​rd  of  Indians  going  to  have  diabetes  by  2030,  70  %  of 
Indians do not do regular exercise, and 62 % Indians do not monitor their diet.   

Life  or  education  begins  with  movement.  Movement  is  natural  and  is  done  from  womb  to 
tomb.  Physical Development, value education, life skills are essential in the present scenario. 
Fitness  is  not  limited  to  any  age  or  gender  but  is  essential  for  all  age’s  viz.  childhood,

​ ww.lncpe.gov.in​ | Page 119 of 123 
adolescent,  adult  or  old  age.  We  should  try  to  find  some  time  for fitness anywhere, whether 
home, school or workplace. 

WHOs  guidelines  say,  “An  adult  should  do  at  least  150  minutes  to  300  minutes  of 
moderate-intensity  aerobic  physical  activity,  or  do  at  least  75  to  150  minutes  of 
vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity”. 

Doing  fitness  alone  is  not  sufficient  but  regular  monitoring  and  assessment  is  equally 
essential.  
Whole School Approach to Fitness 

 
Whole  School  Approach  to  Fitness  encompasses  Fitness  for  (a)  Students  (b)  Staff  and  © 
Parents.  
Fit India has defined Fitness Protocols for: 
1. Children:  
a. 5-8 Years (Class 1-3) 
b. 9-18 Years (Class 4-12) 
2. Adults: 18 to 65 Years 
3. Seniors: 65+ Years 
We  are  already  familiar  with  the  Khelo  India  Battery  of  Tests  for  Children  explained  during 
the previous 2 days (under Khelo India Fitness Assessment. 

For Staff and Parents, Fit India protocol for 18 to 65 years is to be adopted.

Yoga  Protocols  for  18-35  Years,  35-45  Years,  45-55  Years  and  55-65  Years  have  been 
defined by Fit India. 

Safety guidelines like proper warm-up, hydration and cooling down shall be followed.  
 

To Summarise: 

For  implementing  whole  school  approach  to  fitness  in  schools  involving  Children,  Staff  and 
Parents, Schools should do the following:
