Planning<br />
PHASES OF A YEARLY PLAN<br />
In order to be successful in coaching, the coach must be well prepared<br />
and plan ahead. The importance of planning cannot be underestimated.<br />
A team’s training schedule should be organised and planned to ensure goals<br />
are achieved. The planning process therefore should be an organised,<br />
methodical and scientific procedure that assists the players and coach to<br />
achieve predetermined standards.<br />
To determine the success of the yearly plan, it is essential that a thorough<br />
evaluation is completed by the coach, assistant coaches and players. An<br />
evaluation at the end of each phase of the yearly plan enables the coach to<br />
modify the plan for the upcoming phase. At the end of the year, an evaluation<br />
will enable the coach to make modifications to the plan for the next year.<br />
