Effectiveness of demonstration on student’s performance during soccer practice.

A demonstration is a method used by teachers /coaches to convey information to the learner of soccer skills and other sports games, the demonstration is essential to inform the children as to how best to practice the skill. How can children gain or improve their skill in participating in learning soccer game and for how long do they have to train to acquire the complex skills of the game? It depends on learning the process, practice structure, the environment, the teachers/coaches, showing off techniques which are the demo for the student.
 The students will continue to develop the skills if the factors that affect learning are well-structured during practice and if the students acquired the skills needed which will allow them to enjoy the game and motivate them extrinsically or intrinsically. 

Effects of demonstration on student’s performance during soccer practice. Don't just instruct the students how to do it, show them how it's done .Demonstration method is a teaching strategy that accelerates the learning process when students observe the coach demonstrating the skill, the students can see vividly how the skill is best-performed and  input in their short term memory for processing before transferring to Long-term memory . it can later be recalled back during later for an output .   
Seeing a lot of coaches /P.E teachers teaching soccer skills to students without demonstration makes me feel sad because they are not motivating the students to have the interest in the game . 



if teachers /coaches have full in-debt knowledge of the learning process ,they should be able to accelerate motor skills learning using demonstration method during practice .
