PBL in Sports

2-Think about a PBL lesson you experienced while you were a student or Instructor.

To my understanding PBL can ultimately be related to any area of teaching. When i am teaching tennis, i focus on the solution of the problem. After knowing the student, i usually guide the student to find a solution for the problem that occurs, instead of just telling what the correction is. I have come to find that this way i am getting a lot more feedback from them and that they feel more involved (motivated) in the lesson. Since tennis is a individual sport, athletes should develop skills that allow them to overcome the problem that occurs ( tennis match is full of emotional ups and downs and technical problems especially at lower levels). "Sage on a stage" (mentioned by Scott Hill) should be avoided and guide on the side should be emphasized during practice. This concept will allow the student the ability to find where the problem is and also find what the solution is to overcome the problem.
