Tiivistelmä
This is a diary-type thesis whose goal is to examine and develop the HPK U15 AAA team's culture, actions, and my own interaction skills and give feedback to the players.
The diary will consist of daily and weekly reports as well as weekly reflections on where the diary succeeded and where the author can develop more. The diary lasts for eight weeks. In the weekly reflections, the author reflects on the week with material sources. The diary-based thesis takes place from August 2022 to the end of September 2022.
Hämeenlinna is a Finnish city of about 70 thousand inhabitants. Hpk is Hämeenlinna's traditional ice hockey club with around 600 boys and girls ice hockey players. As an author, it has been great to work in a traditional club as part of coaching. The goal was to create a culture of how to act in the U15 age group. Likewise, the goal was to get quality everyday training for all players.
The author's greatest achievement during this work is the ability to learn from research materials and find suitable information from them. Also, in terms of personal development, this work has helped the author to find suitable ways to develop the coaching process. The work has also clarified the author's thinking about the kind of environment in which an individual develops. The author's communication skills developed during the work as well. It was eye-opening to focus and reflect on how to give feedback.
English studies in sports coaching at Vierumäki helped a lot in the thesis writing process. When doing the final work in the work environment, it was not necessary to use English, but the thesis had to be done in English and that was a big challenge. Writing in English is still not easy, but it has clearly developed and especially studying material and searching for important information in English has become significantly easier.
