A1

Complete a timetable

B1-B5

Complete the observations. Identify which 5 core skills I will analyse, and then take pictures of the novice and elite performer completing the skills.

Yes - I managed to take the majority of the pictures. There are a few more that I need to take however.

This went well.

5th February 2007

B6-B7

Analyse the picture results by annotating them, and compare the movements of the novice performer to the elite athlete with qualitative evaluating tables.

I think that this process went well. It took longer than I thought it would though.

Took a while.

B8

Analyse the reliability of the results using quantitative data, it should show how successful the skill was performed.

I used tables and graph's to show the difference in competence between the novice and elite performers.

Used excel to make graphs

C1-C5

Identify and justify the performer's strengths and weaknesses in all of the skills.

It was difficult to find many strengths from the novice performer; her technique was usually wrong.

It was difficult to analyse very precisely what was happening

26th February 2007

5

D1-D2 and E1

Focus on the area most needed for development, and then justify an appropriate reason for this focus.

Record a bibliography.

There were limited resources that I could use to develop her play, and basic skills.

This went well.

Strengths

Weaknesses

* Jenny puts full effort into pushing the ball as far as possible

* She doesn't use her full body weight to push the ball on further

* When jenny passes the ball, she doesn't always take into account the fact that the person they are passing to is moving. She ends up passing it behind the player, rather than in front, so that it is easy to run onto.

* It is easy for her to get distracted when throwing the ball, her decision making is slow, so she does not always know the best option of pass to make.

* The follow through of her pass is not normally in the direction of where she passed the ball.

* Basic technique is visible

* Jenny takes time to aim her shot

* Jenny tries to concentrate on what she is doing

* Jenny puts full effort into pushing the ball as far as possible

* She doesn't bend her knees to push the ball on further

Strengths

Weaknesses

* Jenny tries to balance herself when she has caught the ball.

* Her pivot landing technique is correct, and she keeps her landing foot planted to avoid footwork

* Jenny makes sure that she reaches for the ball fully, and then tries t concentrate on the landing and who to pass to as she lands.

* Jenny controls the ball well when she catches it, meaning she does not risk losing the ball to the other team because she dropped it.

* Jenny lands very flat footed

* She is not always facing the way she is shooting when she catches it, so they don't always make ground on the passes she does.

* Jenny needs to jump more when there is a high ball, so that it is not contested by the defenders.

* Jenny never bends her knees when landing - this has a big impact on her body, and can make her off balance.

Summary table - Core Skill 3

Core skill four - Intercepting

Intercepting the ball - novice performer

Intercepting the ball - elite performer

Strengths

Weaknesses

* Jenny manages to intercept the ball when she marks both the ball and watches the player.

* Jenny does not do footwork when she catches the ball, ensuring that the team benefit from their new turnover.

* Jenny is not driving onto the path of the ball, cutting the angle that it has been thrown at. It makes it more difficult for her to run to the player to intercept it.
Join now!


* Jenny takes a long leap to catch the ball at the end. She should continue running until the ball is firmly in her hands and she has it uncontested.

* Jenny is not fully in front of the player when she intercepts, it, so she needs to go fully in front, or she will not catch it.
