For the research project, I will investigate if the success of a session is related to the type of approach a coach takes during the first stages of the session.
I will investigate the ways in which students' body language at the outset of the session communicates their relative comfort/discomfort.

Who sets the goal?
If the coach prompted the student before the student set the goal
If the student set the goal on her/his own
If the coach set the goal entirely by him/herself
If the coach and student stated goals (If these stated goals were different and if so, if and
