What happened? : This week we spent the session recapping on what the club has achieved and what we have adapted over the course of the first semester.

What worked? : We reiterated as a group what the fundamentals of our Made2Move club are which helped as we were able to re-centre ourselves and remain focused on developing the club to be successful.

What didn’t work? : Once again, in terms of my mentees, they were both struggling with assignments this week. Therefore they were less willing to engage in physical activity as they felt they had too much college work to do towards the end of the semester.

What can I do to improve Made2Move and my role within it? To improve Made2Move and my role within it I will continue to support both of my mentees in every way that I can to ensure I am doing my job as a mentor.

# data[].attributes.body
What happened? : This week’s session was based on the club’s fourth design sprint. This week was also our pod’s turn to take the Made2Move sessions.

What worked? : I found the lecture to be very helpful as once again, the information was very relevant to teaching as well as being a Made2Move mentor. We were able to voice our own opinions in terms or what we, as mentors, wanted in a new training programme to suit our needs.

What didn’t work? : In terms of our pod sessions there was an extremely poor turnout on both occasions leaving it very difficult to create an enjoyable and effective session for such a small amount of people.

What can I do to improve Made2Move and my role within it? To improve the club or my role within it I will do my best to promote the club as much as I can to my peers in order to boost members in order to make our pod sessions worth-while and effective.

# data[].attributes.body
What happened? : Having reviewed last week’s design sprint, in this session we discussed the fundamentals of the programme and what it meant to be a mentor or a mentee.

What worked? : This session was helpful as it got us as mentors asking ourselves what kind of mentors we want to be for our mentees. It also thinking as to what we wanted in terms or a competent leadership and training programme.

What didn’t work? : In terms of my mentees, this was not a very successful week as both of my mentees were struggling with time management between assignments and work.

What can I do to improve Made2Move and my role within it? To improve my role within the club I will research and begin to adapt, to the best of my ability, my mentees’ training programmes so they have more successful weeks in terms of participating in physical activity.

# data[].attributes.body
What happened? : This week was a classroom based session which focused on a second design sprint and what we are dealing with in terms of mentees and learning styles.

What worked? : I found some of the information in this session to be very interesting and helpful to the development of the club. I liked the way the information was relevant to use as future teachers and how as members of different generations we all respond and learn differently.

What didn’t work? : Although the session was helpful, I found it to be somewhat of an information overload and found it really difficult to latch onto the more important and relevant information.

What can I do to improve Made2Move and my role within it? To improve myself or the club itself I will take into account my mentees’ goals, learning styles, and ambitions when prescribing them exercise to make sure it is as individualised as possible.

# data[].attributes.body
What happened? : This week we had another practical session based in the Mardyke. Gillian showed us cardio training, we did the mile challenge on the outdoor track and we were given an induction of the Mardyke gym and its exercise machines.

What worked? : I found this whole session to be very helpful, especially the gym induction in the Mardyke. I would not have been that confident using certain machines in the gym and would hesitate to recommend them to my mentees, however after today, I have become more familiar with them and in the future will recommend them to my mentees.

What didn’t work? : I found the mile challenge to be slightly challenging and daunting. Therefore I realised that this will be quite a daunting experience for one my mentees.

What can I do to improve Made2Move and my role within it? To improve the club or my role within it I will I could suggest the Mardyke gym more to my mentees as I now know how accessible some of the machines are. I will suggest that my two mentees go together so they both feel more comfortable and confident.

# data[].attributes.body
What happened? : This week Gillian spoke to us regarding motivation and its different types. Along with this Dr. Fiona Chambers introduced us to the first design sprint we would be doing for the development of the Made2Move programme. In a practical session with Wesley, we were shown very effective and simple exercises in which we could prescribe to our mentees. This is the first experience we have of exercise prescription within the programme.

What worked? : I found Wesley’s session to be extremely beneficial! Not only for us as mentors in this programme, but for us as participants in physical activity. The exercises he showed us were very simple but what made it even more helpful was the fact her provided us with regressions and progressions of them which will prove to be relevant when dealing with mentees of mixed ability.

What didn’t work? : Although the practical session was very helpful, in my situation one of my mentees is not into that type of physical exercise at all therefore I will have to research myself an appropriate activity for her.

What can I do to improve Made2Move and my role within it? To improve the club or myself I could begin to search for alternatives physical activities that would be more suitable for my mentees.

# data[].attributes.body
What happened? : This week I finally got assigned two mentees during our second screening day in the West Wing. The screening took place in two separate rooms in the West Wing.

What worked? : This screening session worked so much better than the first as we had rectified all of the mistakes from week one. It ran very smoothly as everyone had assigned jobs, the screening tools had been collapsed since, therefore this session looked far more organised and less chaotic.

What didn’t work? : The fact that this group of 1st year maths science students had no say in their participation, were bombarded with this concept and had to be physically screened in front of their peers did not go well at all. These students were immediately put off which I know will greatly hinder their participation in this programme in the future.

What can I do to improve Made2Move and my role within it? To improve Made2Move or myself I will do my best on being as supportive and encouraging to my two mentees to ensure they get the best possible experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Week 3 ReflWhat happened? : This week we focused on actual session planning with Dr. Wesley O’Brien in the Mardyke. During this practical session he showed us the three fundamental components of a group session: such as dynamic warm-ups, fun games and challenges with progressions and closing a session with positive affirmation and a cool-down.

What worked? : I thought the session as a whole worked really well as it showed us the three defining parts of a session and upon this, Wesley enlightened us on the importance of relating the activity to its participant’s life experiences.

What didn’t work? : The only fault is this week’s work was the fact that Wesley’s session was slightly vague in the sense that it did not give us many actual activity ideas for the pod sessions in which we would have to begin preparing shortly.

What can I do to improve Made2Move and my role within it? : To improve from this week I could begin gathering creative ideas and suggestions from my peers to begin planning exciting pod sessions by building on the knowledge in which Wesley provided us.

# data[].attributes.body
What happened? : This week we reviewed last week’s screening day and came up with the following suggestions: Assign jobs to everyone before hand - avoid confusion and chaos. Collapse questionnaires and design our own compact screening tool. Give mentors their mentees' names prior to the event. Have mentor packs ready before hand. Have more than 1 circuit set up along with additional person per station - speeds up process. Gender specific measurer. Separate stations with screens? - More discreet. As well as this we looked at possible suggestions for mentee plans such as: Mardyke classes or jogging, along with resources and apps they could use to assist them.

What worked? : The information and tips we were given helped greatly this week as I were able to begin creating a resource bank for when I was going to be assigned a mentee. Also the information on the components of Health Related Fitness

What didn’t work? : I still haven’t received a mentee yet which is leaving me feel quite behind as I cannot begin to plan for them and the workload with other college modules is growing.

What can I do to improve Made2Move and my role within it? : To improve my role or Made2Move itself I could begin researching information on physical activity and exercise prescription and its links to Made2Move.

# data[].attributes.body
What happened? : This week, as a class, we were introduced to this new programme Made2Move. We were made aware of the fundamental aims of the programme as well as establishing our roles in the programme. We were also introduced to Gillian O’Sullivan, one of the founders. This week we also had our first screening day in the Electrical Engineering Building. It did not go as well as expected due to a lack of organisation, therefore this week have a lot of improving to do before our next screening day!

What worked? : I felt that by dividing us into our pods in this session worked quite well as straight away we were able to start brainstorming session ideas together and get into the mind-set of becoming a Made2Move mentor!

What didn't work? : The fact the information was loaded onto us so soon and in such excess, I found this to be very overwhelming as it was our first week back in college. I immediately felt this huge responsibility upon my shoulders which led me to feel under a lot of pressure, even in just the first week of second year! During the screening day, jobs were not assigned prior to the event which made the event seem chaotic and disorganised.

What can I do to improve Made2Move and my role within it? : To improve my role or Made2Move, I could begin researching session ideas or even training/physical activity ideas and be prepared for when I get assigned a mentee.

Yet another fantastic achievement for the club was having Niamh O'Brien gives us a talk on health and it's links to physical activity. Niamh is a member of the UCC SSPE team and is a  researcher on well-being, physical activity and education.
This insightful and inspiring talk gave both mentors and mentees fantastic advice and motiviation to become more physically active and also made us aware of the many benefits of physical activity... not only this, but Niamh also shared her experiences of hardships and challenges when trying to become more physically active.

# data[].attributes.body
We were introduced to a website which showed us data on the most commonly used words in our feedback in the programme, in a positive and negative way.

Having reviewed the points from our design thinking in week 7, we went on to discuss the qualities of a “perfect” mentee and a “perfect” mentor. This got us thinking on what we wanted from the programme in terms of a competent training and leadership programme. We also took a mentee’s perspective of the programme and what they would want from it.

Joanne O'Riordan kindly gave us and our mentee a talk on all things motivation, sport, courage and well-being.

Joanne is a former criminology student at UCC and is currently working as a sports journalist with the Irish times and in her spare time, trains a football team in Kerry.

Not only was this a fantastic experience for us as mentors and mentees, but this is a mile stone in the club's history as it marks the beginning of the club's new role and ag.
