As the beginning of the academic year and sports season sets in, now is the time to scrutinise autonomy and safety in our settings.

Curious Craft: Application to The Classroom

1. Deliberately seek opportunities to build inclusivity. What is it that is bigger than the individual self in your environment which can ascribe meaning and identity beyond individualism?

2. Make mistakes a requisite part of your practice. Normalise them: create safety in vulnerability.

3. Actively seek opportunity for pupils to voice their feedback, opinion, and exercise agency.

4. Be humble. Accept your own choices and where they sometimes were wrong (task orientation which falls flat/homework set/construction of a lesson). Humility breeds authenticity which breeds safety. Your pupils will begin to critique and become more open to critique in their work.

Curious Craft: Application to The Coach

1. Get over yourself! Your voice and lens is not the only one with power in the environment. Use your co-coaches, athletes, and leadership groups within the squad/training squad (in individual sports) and receive feedback with curiosity.

2. Feed back observations by unit teams, leadership group, wider coaching staff to all stakeholders: how h this feedback allowed you to adapt?

3. Ask questions about the experience of performance. What does matchday look like? Warm-up? Messaging? Half-time? in-game coaching and support? How can and do your athlete(s) thrive?

4. Where applicable: seek truth in data. Running statistics or video clips. Do not just bias what you wanted to see (the one good pattern of defence). Be empirical and empower all to engage with the content.
