* is the technique correct? * are they at the right intensity? * are they increasing intensity too quickly/slowly?
• If someone is not doing something correctly you may need to demonstrate it again. You may also need to provide further instructions and teaching points. Just like in the initial instruction and demonstration, instructions and teaching points should be simple, clear, and broken down into small steps.
• You should provide feedback to all participants. Do not get so engrossed in correcting one person's technique that you don't pay attention to other people in the group.
Providing feedback
Your feedback should be constructive. This means you should: • state what participants are doing well... • ...but also explain what they could do to improve
You should always aim to encourage performers rather than criticise. * what can they improve?
rather than: * what are they doing wrong?
Your feedback should always keep in mind the ultimate aim: to fully and safely warm-up for the given sport or physical activity.
You should also ask the participants for their feedback during the warm- up:
• Even with the best planning, sometimes the warm-up might be too intense or making people sore.
