A variety of Games-Based Approaches have been adopted by Irish sports as templates to guide coaches practice; for example, Hockey Ireland promote Play Practice Play, Cycling Ireland promote the 6P Model, and All-Ireland Gaelic Football Championship winning coach Paddy Tally recently espoused the value of Teaching Games for Understanding. In this interview, I speak with Master Adrian Byrne. With a background as both an athlete and a coach, Adrian is the Chair of the International Taekwon-Do Federation Coaches Committee as well as a Coach Education Development Officer for Sport Ireland with a remit spanning multiple sports. We discuss topics such as:
  • being inspired by Rod Thorpe’s early work on Teaching Games for Understanding and Game Sense,
  • game-based or scenario-based: the importance of finding language that coaches can latch on to,
  • how a game-based approach can be applied with both novices and international competitors within a martial art,
  • within mixed ability groups, as are common in martial arts, the whole purpose of training is that everybody in the environment gets better from where they are now,
  • how a game-based approach can be promoted within an organization from the top down and bottom up.
I hope that you find this stimulating if you are promoting a game-based approach within your coaching or your organization.
