Constructive feedback is when you give a positive but not detailed comment. For example, when your team player gets a try during a game of touch and you say "Nice try". Specific constructive feedback includes giving your team player feedback in depth detail. An example for this is when your team player does a side step and then sprints off out running the opposition players and scores a try, you'd say "That was an impressive side step and your really fast" something like that.
The way you deliver your feedback determines whether or not your team player will put that feedback into action. For example, giving immediate and specific feedback with encouragement will boost your team player to try better and will also help improve your team players performance.
As a trainer it was part of my responsibility to give feedback to my team mates which I tried to achieve whilst playing touch. I did this by telling the boys mainly to try not to give bullet passes to the girls because it resulted to the girls dropping the ball. Also giving feedback like nice try but maybe next time, this is a common but good way to boost a persons confidence into improving their performance on the field.
The reason why I demonstrated feedback wasn't only because it was the assessment task but for my team mates beneficial's. Feedback is another important aspect all teams and team player should require if you want to become a good sport.
The effect feedback had on my team was they knew they were being noticed in the team and that people in the team were valuing what they were doing by helping to improve for their own benefits. Without feedback team players won't know what they're doing wrong or wont know what they're doing well which is something players should be acknowledged for.
