Not
specific
enough-
what type
of
volunteer?
Needs more
background
info. Class
for whom?
Doesn’t say
what I
needed to
do. This
belongs in
Situation.
Not enough
detail! Should
be 50-60% of
the STAR.
Feedback
on? Any
numbers?
Not enough detail and not specific.

Experience Situation Task Action Result
Volunteer
youth
volleyball
coach at
YMCA
Coach of first-
ever volleyball
class at YMCA
for 10-13 year
olds.
Supervisor did
not know about
volleyball and
did not have an
appropriate
lesson plan
prepared.
I had to run a
successful first
session to
create interest
in the new
program while
developing a
new lesson plan
suitable for the
skills and
interests of
youth.
Assessed skill level
of students and
made adjustments
for individual
students. Used
verbal instruction or
demos depending
on student
responses. Taught
varying difficulties
of the same drill
and modified class-
favorite exercises
to teach more
skills.
Created a
youth-friendly
volleyball
lesson plan
based on drills
and exercises
used each
class. Received
positive
feedback and
helped
enrollment
increase 200%.

about?
