📚 Part 1: Match the Term

Draw a line from each coaching term (1–4) to the best definition or practical example (A–D).

1. Duty of Care

2. Sandwich Method

3. Mentor

4. Impartiality

(draw lines here)

A. A coaching approach that uses praise, correction, then encouragement — e.g. "Great effort, try keeping your elbow in on the pass, nice recovery!"

B. The legal and moral responsibility to keep participants safe — e.g. checking equipment and supervising hazards before training.

C. Someone who develops players' character and supports them over time, both on and off the field.

D. Keeping decisions fair and unbiased as an official or coach; treating all players equally during selection and calls.

Success criteria:

- I can match coaching terms to accurate definitions or examples.

- I can explain the Sandwich Method in my own words and give a short practical example.

- I can name two ways a coach ensures Duty of Care during a session.

Differentiation strategies:

- Support: Provide a printed glossary or pair students for peer discussion. Use simpler examples where needed.

- Challenge: Ask learners to write an additional example showing a conflict between impartiality and team loyalty and how to resolve it.

- Access: Use visuals or demonstrations for students who benefit from non-verbal explanations; allow oral responses if writing is difficult.

5. In one or two lines, explain the Sandwich Method and give a short example for correcting a passing technique:

6. List two specific actions a coach can take to demonstrate Duty of Care during training:
