7. Improvement Target 1 (P6)
Priority Trait Speed
Baseline Test
Result
5.71
Specific Target To reduce her speed by half a second over the 8 week period
Measurable Measure using a stop watch and 35m area
Agreed Upon I agreed this target with my client on 14/1/15
Realistic I believe this is a realistic target for her to achieve
Time Based Baseline test (WB 12/01): 5.71
Review (WB 09/02): 5.56
Complete (WB 09/03): 5.40

8. Student Justification 1
I believe my client needs to improve her speed because when
compared to normative data she is only average for her gender
and age. If my client improves her speed it means that when
chasing a through ball or long ball she is more likely to beat the
defender to it which may give her a better chance of scoring.
Having this ability means she is more likely to be chosen for the
team rather than starting on the bench. It could also link to an
increase in goals scored which will influence her selection in the
team. Having a faster striker will not only benefit her, but also
the team, this is because it means they will be able to maintain
possession and have more chance of scoring, this could increase
the number of goals scores and therefore wins and league
position. If she is able to reach balls before a defender her team
will keep possession therefore stopping the opposition from
attacking. She will also be able to close down the keeper and
other defenders much faster which could result in her winning
the ball off them and again gaining possession.

9. Improvement Target 2 (P6)
Priority Trait Finishing
Baseline Test
Result
3/10
Specific Target To be able to score 7/10 by the end of the 8 week period
Measurable This can be measured using a tally chart
Agreed Upon I agreed this target with my client on 14/1/15
Realistic I believe my client can achieve this target by the end of the
programme
Time Based Baseline test (WB 12/01): 3/10
Review (WB 09/02): 5/10
Complete (WB 09/03):8/10

10. Student Justification 2
I believe my client needs to improve her finishing skills because
as a striker being able to finish is her main role, this includes
finishing while under pressure, and out of the 10 shots the most
she scored was 3. This test was done with just the keeper and
she needs to improve in her ability in a 1 on 1 situation as well as
when she is faced with a defender. My client would definitely
benefit from improving her finishing as it means she will increase
the number of goals she scores, if she is scoring more goals than
other strikers then she is more likely to be picked for the starting
line up rather than starting on the bench. It will also reduce the
chance of her being subbed off for another player. With a good
scoring record to go alongside her other abilities it may increase
the chance of her being scouted by a club such as Brighton
Ladies. My client being an effective finisher will also benefit her
team because it means they will score more goals and ultimately
win more games, it could result in them winning the league and
getting through rounds of the cup.
