NARA CLUB’S COACHES START “MIRROR TRAINING”, THE CO-LEARNING ACTIVITY WITH THE AIM OF PROMOTING COHESION BETWEEN COACHES

Last September, we started the “Mirror Training” activity at the Nara Club Methodology Department, a Co-Learning activity addressed to all club's coaches.

Co-Learning, one of the four pillars on which the Ekkono Method is based to create or enhance club identity, consists in decentralizing the teaching processes to accelerate the learning processes.

The “Mirror Training” activity is carried out in pairs of coaches, in which Coach A prepares and explains to Coach B a training task, and B carries it out with his team under the supervision and subsequent feedback from Coach A. Subsequently, roles will be swapped.

Therefore the "Mirror Training" process is as follows:

The Director of Methodology decides the pairs of coaches
Coach A asks Coach B what content he wants to work on (the content / assignment of the task will be in accordance with each team’s content planning)
Coach A prepares and explains the training task to Coach B with as little information as possible.
Coach B carries out the task in the way they understand it (can adapt it to their liking if they feel convenient), while Coach A observes the task and takes notes.
The next day Coach A and Coach B meet to share their impressions of the task and its execution.
Next month, all process will be repeated but swapping their roles.

Therefore, through the “Mirror Training” activity we will get the coaches to work together and be able to capture ideas from other coaches, increasing cohesion within the club.

Taka, assistant coach in Nara Club U18 team, says: “Mirror training is a really good tool to grow as a coach. I can learn the ideas about the rules, limits and the concepts from the other coaches and it’s totally different from me "
