Promotion Test

Promotion test or grading is the the time to determine when the students is able to be upgraded to the next belt. Many a time we, coaches prepare them by teaching them the poomsae and other components that require for the promotion test. However, it is also a time when the coaches do feel stressed by the performance of the students as they are some will end up not doing well in the test. They perform well to earn them the spot for the grading but when the actual time for the grading, many would not be able to do well as anxiety, nervousness and also the feeling of overwhelmed get the better of them.

Then the coaches will be stressed up seeing the students not performing up to mark. I, personally hate that feeling but just can't control it. Although we know that we have done our part, still it is our responsibility to ensure that they are able to do well. Failing which it is our job to find out the reason behind their dismal performance and rectify it so the next time it will be better.
