Design thinking was a major part of today’s class. "Design thinking is generally defined as an analytic and creative process that engages a person in opportunities to experiment, create and prototype models, gather feedback, and redesign” (Razzouk & Shute 2012)

This video is a great example of how design thinking can be used to enhance physical activity. There are examples of design thinking in this video that we used in our own class in week 4 (i.e. the sticky notes) we used this method to help create a physical activity plan for our mentee. Discovering our mentee's needs and Insights are other examples of how we used design thinking to help us create the best Physical Activity plan for our mentee

Today we played many mindset games such as “pair story”, “I notice three things”, “tracing the air”, and “group story”. These games made us more compassionate with each other and this is something we could incorporate with our move mentee. We also Elaborated more on our move mentee's personality by making a poster about them and writing down their description, needs and insights.

Insights

I will be joining my move mentee doing the physical activity with her until she gets the confidence to try it on her own

I will be pushing my move mentee to try things out of her comfort zone such as classes in the Mardyke

According to the comfort zone model when someone is pushed outside their comfort zone and placed in a challenging situation they will respond, rise to the challenge, and overcome their fears (Brown 2008)

Needs
I believe that Emily needs to build her confidence when it comes to physical activity because of the reasons why she gave up the sports that she enjoyed when she was younger. A way in which I will be able to build Emily’s confidence is by giving her support and encouragement to make her feel comfortable and capable of overcoming any fears or challenges. In order to make Emily feel like she can overcome challenges I believe Emily will need to be challenged so she will be able to see what she is capable off which will also contribute to the building of her confidence.

This week we focused on how to get to know our mentee by finding out who they are, what they like to do, when they like to do it, where they like to do it and why. Another activity of today was to make 4 categories which consisted of positives, things to work on, surprises and things we needed help with. We then wrote down matters that related to these categories and our mentees and discussed it with the class.

Made2Move is a non-competitive club that promotes physical activity amongst University students. This year I am taking part in this club as a move mentor. As a move mentor I am going to promote physical activity (PA) to my move mentee by creating a PA plan which includes walking, jogging, swimming, and gym work. This plan will hopefully help my move mentee feel more comfortable, confident, and motivated to participate and enjoy PA

Description
Emily is a UCC student studying her 2nd year of Early Years and Childhood Studies. Emily has tried out many sports such as Tennis, Football, Karate and Swimming but does not participate in these sports anymore. She stopped attending her karate classes because she was the only girl in the class, and she gave up football and tennis because she did not like the competitive side of these sports. This information is very beneficial to me as it shows me what kind of personality Emily has and what her interests are with relation to physical activity. There are a few potential obstacles that could affect Emily’s participation with physical activity and this programme. Her college hours consist of 2-6 on Mondays with no break, 9-6 on Tuesdays with a one-hour break, 9-5 on Wednesdays with a one-hour break, 9-6 on Thursdays with a 3-hour break and she has no college on Fridays. Emily also commutes up and down to college, the journey to and from college would be 40-50 minutes long without traffic. Some days she travels to and from college on the train, so I have incorporated the 40-minute walk from UCC to the train station into the made2move physical activity plan. She also has a weekend job with long hours so she might find it difficult to find time to follow the weekend physical activity schedule as her hours change every week. Overall I believe creating and participating in the physical activity plan for Emily will be a very enjoyable experience as it is clear that she did enjoy physical activity at some stage of her life however it may be challenging to motivate Emily to participate in this physical activity plan because of her busy daily life.

Today we were introduced to the Made2Move club, two 3rd years came in and talked to us about their experience with this club last year. They gave us very useful tips and encouraged us to participate with the right mindset and get involved as much as we can with this programme.

During our first-class Fiona and Gillian also explained how this club works and how to be the best move mentor for our move mentee.

In this class we all completed a “ Myers Briggs” short test and a “Schwartz Portrait Values Questionnaire” to find out what kind of personality we have, this is something we could do with our mentee to help us find out what kind of personality they have as well.

This week Fiona and Gillian explained what ‘physical activity’ is, the difference between physical activity and exercise and different components that contribute to physical activity such as nutrition and wellbeing. We were also shown different examples of physical activity that we could use in our plans for our move mentee. Gillian also got us doing some PA in this class to wake us up and show us different exercises we could do with our mentee. We also had to demonstrate stretches and think of different ways to stretch the different muscles in our body. This was a very beneficial class as it showed us the importance of incorporating nutrition and wellbeing into our PA plan for our mentee and how to perform the correct techniques for many stretches which will prevent injuries

This week we had Niamh O Brien come into our class and talk to us about mental health. It was a very helpful class and it made a lot of us think about ourselves and the people around us. She did different activities with us such as a mindfulness activity. This activity helped us relax and made us focus on the moment we were in instead of thinking about future worries and stresses. "Developing mindfulness involves purposefully directing one’s attention to internal and external experiences, occurring on a moment-to-moment basis, without evaluating or judging these experiences " (Schreiner & Malcolm 2008). This is something we could incorporate into out physical activity plan for our Mentee.

This is another example of an activity that we did with Niamh.

For these weeks we had a catch up with Gillian. We informed her with any problems or difficulties that we had so far with our move mentee and how we could overcome these obstacles. We also discussed the group activities within this club as this year there is not many mentees or mentors attending the group activities so as a class, we came up with ideas to solve this problem. One idea was to organize different activities such as a soccer tournament in order to attract more people.

Penny Dinners in Cork was founded during the famine as a soup kitchen. It now provides people with a warm, dry, and friendly environment where they can come free of charge to eat and talk to volunteers within this organisation. As a year group we were ecstatic when we found out that we would be visiting this organisation to learn how to cook affordable meals and to get the chance to talk to the volunteers in penny dinners. I really enjoyed my time in penny dinners, I learnt how to cook a quick easy and delicious curry as well as meeting very inspirational people. This experience has showed me how generous people can be and how important it is to volunteer and provide your presence and help to people who may need it

This week Tania Cassidy, a professor in the area of sport pedagogy came in to talk to us on how to act professionally as a coach, it was very beneficial for us as mentors and future teachers. She explained to us that as well as having a good knowledge on sport specific skills and tactics it is also very important to utilize good teaching and social practices (Cassidy 2008). She gave us a lot of advice regarding the coaching role. I learnt how to provide feedback to players/students i.e. The feedback sandwich which involves providing positive feedback before and after critiquing the player. This is important to do in order to motivate the players and improve their skills (wright & O'Halloran 2013 as cited in De Muynck et.al 2017). Another part of this talk that I found very beneficial is when she explained to us to focus on cognitive, personal and ethical aspects as well as functional which was backed up by the all blacks New Zealand rugby team's motto "Better people make better players" This team use a 6 pillar development model that focuses on tactical skills as well as lifestyle skills i.e. mental development. It is clear by the All Blacks’ success that this model is very effective. Finally, Tania talked to us about important values and virtues and how they can be seen in the classroom. These values include Honestly, Loyalty, respect etc. this was very beneficial for us because we learnt what values we should have in the classroom and how to achieve them with our students
