PHE Task 2
PHE Task 2
MAIN WEAKNESS: As I have conducted my clients initial benchmark which helped me further my observation
Regarding my clients’ weak spots that require polishing. The chosen health related skill goal is muscular Endurance
and physical skill related goal is balance. These chosen physical and health related goals will be worked upon during
the upcoming PDP (performance development plan) that I will create for my client to help him overcome his
weakness and show progression towards his desired object as practice makes perfect. As a coach Muscular
Endurance plays a vital role in the game of football as it helps you stand your ground which prevents the opponent
from tackling or body play you in a game of 90 minutes. My client being is an athlete unable to maintain his
balance and stay strong while having the ball in his possession due to which he is very easily tackled, hence the
chosen skill related goal is Balance as is the key component of physique and fitness which is also crucially important
in game of football this was highlighted and chosen because my client alongside trying to improve his muscular
endurance, he is unable to maintain his balance as he is overweight which influences his ability to perform . My
client as he is required to make rapid and quicker sprints in different direction of the pitch in the game of football, he
tends to lose balance and fall sometimes due to overweight may result in an injury or muscle pull, this may be a
disadvantage for him as he is required to perform sprints which can result in weight loss which will help in the game
of football.
GOAL DEVELOPMENT: The goal development plan will revolve around the client’s health and physical
health goal which I have highlighted after a thorough assessment of the client’s initial benchmark and health
assessment. I will make sure to give my client positive and motivating feedback which pushes him further to
satisfy himself with his noticeable improvements. These improvements will be visible after my clients go through
my designed performance development plan whereas I will further explain in the SMART GOALS while keeping in
mind my client’s satisfaction and comfort to see visible improvements.
HEALTH GOAL: To help improve my clients desired health goal I will try my best to provide my client with a
proper education on what to eat and not to eat, which contribute towards his strength and muscular endurance
goal to be improved by a lot. I as a coach will provide him with proper information regarding his health goal that will
cover all proper muscular strength training with all proper lifting forms, with proper technique as well as
running to reduce his weight. I was able to clearly identify and highlight my client’s health weakness which led me
to choose this goal as my client’s muscular endurance. I have chosen this for my client as he really lacks
Endurance whereas weight reduction with this goal can both be achieved and kept in mind , which I will start
conducting my planned exercise in the upcoming performance development plan.
PHYSICAL GOAL BALANCE: The Physical goal selected for my client after thorough analysis of his initial
benchmark as this is interlinked with his health goal which is muscular endurance. There were many options
and components that fall under physical goal but after analyzing my client’s performance in a match of football I felt
it is important to highlight and take up my client’s weakness due to which he was struggling in certain aspects of
football. As he is an active athlete, balance plays a vital role in quick change in movement and direction as he
tends to lose balance due to being overweight. However, as his coach I have designed an organized and disciplined
performance development plan from him which will mainly cover the aspects of Balance, moreover balance also
has multiple other attached components with it that are in cooperation with balance as balance requires speed,
agility, and stamina. So, I chose this physical goal for my client as he was unable to maintain his balance while
dribbling and efficiently which created problems for him in tough match situations. Hence the designed PDP
will surely help my client display visible changes and progression through the period of 3-weeks.
ACTION PLAN: The training plan will consist of both aspects of physical training which will cover gym sessions
and football training sessions as mentioned in the upcoming designed Performance Development Plan. This is
to ensure maximum effort and determination towards achieving both health and physical goal of client where the
physical goal Is BALANCE and health goal is MUSCULAR ENDURANCE. The PDP will change accordingly
through the time period of 3-weeks keeping in mind the client’s progress in each week and every session. These
sessions will help clients reach near his desired goal for them to be called successfully. As the chosen physical and
health goals are quite interlinked which will help contribute towards each other as gym sessions will help increase
Muscular endurance enabling the client to unlock his full strength whereas targeting each muscle in the
Body helps increase body strength and power and stability as well help in the reduction of weight.
Although other than these sessions my client will be having in training session football matches for
The coach to observe and see visible improvement in client’s performance after undergoing the given
drills in the PDP whereas these football matches will also show muscular endurance enhancement in client while he
is able to body tackle his opponent using his entire will power to keep the ball in his possession and also shows how
he maintains his balance while tackling the opponent. PDP will be kept flexible to changes and requests by client to
create a more fun and interesting environment which will also help form a better communication and
understanding between coach and client.
TRAINING PLAN CONDUCTED FOR HEALTH GOAL: SESSION 1#
WEEK 1 FEEDBACK FROM COACH: As this was my first ever session with my client where I was able to
implement my designed PDP with my client where I was able to see how well my client had adapted to my
performance development plan. This specific performance development plan was targeted towards my client’s health
goal which was muscular endurance and physical goal which is balance, in this session I was able to cover all
possible aspects of light weight training and football drills and other drills to improve balance for my client through
which his body would adapt to lifting weights and improving his balance in the upcoming PDP plan. My client was
really happy and determined towards following my PDP plan whereas performed every drill with the best of his
ability. As my client is already an athlete but he is not used to lifting weights so I had given 3 breaks to my client to
get comfortable and let his body recover from intense workouts which can sometimes also be dangerous if not
performed after proper warmup. I was able to motivate and support my client during his off days where I kept
interacting with him online just to make sure he’s on the right track. Moreover, I had also noticed that my client was
reluctant in lifting weights as he feared that it would damage his muscles or stop his muscle growth, whereas
performed his football sessions drill without hesitation. Keeping in mind my clients’ personal demands and requests I
had told my client to perform light weight trainings gym sessions for the 1st session for him so familiarize himself
with the correct technique and form for lifting, whereas mainly the training session revolved around cardio gym
session and football drills to keep the 1st session as light as possible as I would gradually and slowly increase
intensity of trainings while lessening rest days in between to keep my client focused and active towards achieving his
health and physical goal side by side.
FEEDBACK FROM CLIENT: As my client really looked forward to undergoing my performance development
plan, he was extremely thrilled and excited. My client on Monday performed with great intensity and confidence
which kept him going throughout the session. My client later on in the middle of the week did complain of knots in
his body which are also known as cramps I had informed my client that this was totally normal as he had just start
intense workout routines while incorporating weight training and also incorporating football sessions this will only
happen for 1-2 days then your body will automatically adapt itself to handle and bear high intensity workouts and
football drills. Whereas although my client had explained how he enjoyed himself while performing his drills and is
looking forward to the next session. I am motivated and really excited to undergo the upcoming training sessions.
ANALYSIS OF THE WEEK: After the week’s analysis and observation of my client throughout the first session of
the personal development plan, my client performed mediocre as he was not expecting such difficult and intense
training sessions in his upcoming PDP. My client was holding back and was clumsy as he wasn’t showing his full
potential and lacked focus which caused him to get distracted easily. As his coach I could sense and observe that my
client was enjoying his training sessions of football sessions but he lost interest in his gym sessions but kept
performing well in his end of session football matches and drills. So after partially performing his 1st PDP session I
had a conversation with the client and asked him what activities and exercises should I incorporate in my
Performance development plan to keep his interest he requested to decrease gym workout intensity although other
drills in terms of football session are perfect as I’m already aware of them and I feel I’m performing without being
hesitant although he still requested to reduce the intensity of the training sessions for the first week and increase it
slowly has he is still not adapted to the PDP as yet.

FEEDBACK FROM COACH: As I had already told my client that the intensity will be not higher but his ability
would be judged and final performance development session in the whole 3-week journey. I was really happy and
satisfied with my client's visible improvements and outcome as I was able to guide him perfectly as his coach due to
which my client had a positive and healthier outcome as he was extremely motivated and determined throughout his
session. My client was able to perform weighted exercise with ease and confidence, whereas he performed his
football drills that consisted of balance drills for example cone shuffle, pick up cone on one leg, ladder jumps, he
performed outstandingly. His balance and muscular endurance were polished and improved as he was dominating in
his football matches and gym sessions. As my client was confident and motivated however, he used to overexert in
some exercises due to which he was given extra breaks and rest time between his sessions.
FEEDBACK FROM CLIENT: I client was extremely satisfied and happy with the coach designed fitness aimed
PDP plan due to which I was able to maintain a healthy and balanced routine to follow the entire week. My client
also noticed that I was able to get ample time for my body to recover and I was also consuming proper nutrition
which contributed towards my weight reduction. I client performed a proper cardio session with full motivation and
dedication as I knew it was boring but at the end of the day I needed and wished to achieve the set goals as my final
destination was near and I decided not to give up. I am satisfied with my results and outcome as i knew the amount
of blood and sweat, i put in hard work all paid of till this day where I was able to see visible improvement and was
able to set a disciplined routine and diet. However, I still felt that there is always room for improvement and that
nothing is perfect. I still wish to follow the completed PDP plan to have a better and more efficient outcome than
before to satisfy myself to the fullest, as I could still feel that his body can withstand more strength and training.
LAST AND FINAL ANALYSIS OF THE WEEK: Now both client and coach are now fully satisfied with their
dedication and performance throughout the performance development plan they can finally call is successful as the 3
week PDP is now complete and to conclude that the client has successfully achieved his desired Health and Physical
Goal and is now confident and well informed how to contribute more towards his Health and Physical goal if he
wishes to improve it further as my client Is really happy and is consuming a healthy diet daily. My client is very
happy and satisfied with his results and the amount of hard work he has put in and wishes his coach best of luck
whereas he wanted to end the week with a motivating quote that may inspire many other young athletes like him, he
said “success in the work that you avoid”.
