When we play sporting games feedback is very important it can encourage people to do better, or it can help people to understand what it is they are doing wrong and, how they can put it right. The different types of feedback are: Video recordings Coach's view Teammates view Opposition view Family and friends view Spectators view Your own view 2. Input In this stage I would use my visual sense so this would be what I can see. So an example of this in football would be where the defenders are and were the goalkeeper is positioned. I would also use my auditory sense. This is what I can hear so if I can hear anyone running behind me or if one of my teammates is shouting man on or if he's telling me I am in an offside position. My last sense I would use would be my kinaesthetic sense. This is what I can feel so if I can feel my man marker and which way he will move. If I don't do this correctly when or if I get the ball a defender will come in and take the ball away from me as I didn't expect him to be there as I dint use on of the above senses. Decision I will have to use all the information above to make my decision .If the ball was crossed in and no one was marking me and the goalkeeper was positioned in the middle of his goal. The decision I would make would be to header at goal, rather than head it back to one of my teammates, as I am un marked and this is a goal

Skill Aquasition assignment 4

Skill acquisition Assignment 4 BTEC National Diploma in Sport and Exercise Science Cara Dunsbee Brief - "Skill is learned; knowledge of how learning occurs is important to coaches and teachers in order to modify a performer's behaviour and produce the desired response. Investigate the proposed theories of learning and how they are used in the practical environment." "Learning can be considered a more or less permanent change in performance associated with experiences but excluding changes which occur through maturation and degeneration or through alternations in the receptor of Effector organs" (Knapp 1973) I am now going to give the main points of the different learning theories, and explain the differences between them, using examples from sport to describe how each of the theories can be used in a teaching or coaching action. Connectionist or Association Theories. These theories rely on the learner linking a stimulus from the environment with a movement. This stimulus may take the form of a problem. For example in a water polo match the centre forward might be ball side of the centre back. In response to this the ball will get played in to the centre forward. The player defending at the top of the arc on position 3 would drop back to help. If this was found successful then this response becomes connected/ associated with the stimulus and stored in the long

The Joys of Learning

The Joys of Learning Task 1 Learning - The process by which relatively permanent changes occur in behavioral potential as a result of experience. (Anderson) A process that "builds on or modifies understanding, capacities, abilities, attitudes and propensities in the individual." (Inglis, Ling, & Joosten (1999) p. 104-105) Above are two definitions of learning, in general learning is a process where we gain a better understanding or new abilities from experience. There are different learning theories about how we actually gain our knowledge and skill. Cognitive theories Cognitive theories of learning are about thinking and understanding rather than connecting certain stimuli to certain responses. Cognitive theories look at individuals and how they can learn theories. It is sometimes known as insight learning. In cognitive theories we get our information from our surroundings and work out what has happened using our long and short-term memories as well a previous knowledge and general understanding. Gestaltists believe that learning can be explained better if we look at the parts which make up the whole, rather than looking at the parts separately outside the whole experience. (Adopted from Stafford-Brown et al) The Gestalt theory put forward that an individual's perception of stimuli has an affect on their response. If two individuals are exposed to identical

Personal exercise program (PEP).

Jack Scorgie L6WL Task One Age 16 Height 5 ft 10 inch Weight 10.5 stone DOB 15-05-87 Aim of PEP During the program I would like to improve my: STRENGTH AEROBIC ENDURANCE POWER SPEED BODY COMPOSITION Above lists various health related components of football. There are also skill related components I must improve including passing (long and short) shooting and running with the ball. This is important because combined with health components; there is also a skill related fitness aspect, which helps a performer improve within a game situation. These goals can only be achieved by training. To test my progress along the way, various fitness tests can be set up. These include: Sit and Reach: This tests flexibility. The test involves you sitting down with your legs in front of you, and reaching forward as far as possible without bending your knees or lifting your legs off the floor. Standing Jump: This tests your leg power. It is simply a jump without a run up, measured by distance. VO2 Max Test: This tests your cardio-vascular capacity. This test involves a jog back and forward between cones that are roughly 30m apart. The aim is to last as long as possible, timing your arrival at each cone to 'beeps' that sound. These beeps sound regularly, but then get closer and closer together as you reach a higher-level. Press Ups: This tests your muscular endurance in

Current level of performance - Golf

Current level of performance Introduction The level of performance that I am at can currently be put into six groups. -Prior experience -Fitness levels -Commitment -Frequency of training -Diet -Values and beliefs I will go through these individually telling you about each one individually telling you detailed accounts of each. Task 1 Prior experience My current experience for my chosen sport which is golf is that I started golf when I just hit my thirteenth birthday but the standard and dedication was not high, I was playing about once a month at a local nine hole golf coarse. After a year of doing this, I joined Stinchcombe Hill golf club, were I had a couple of lessons and after 4months I got my first handicap. My first handicap was twenty eight, which shortly became twenty four after a few months of having it. I managed to reduce it by entering small junior competitions and shooting under my handicap several times. By the time I was fifth teen I was entering adult competitions and getting English golf union coaching which helped me to take in my second year at Stinchcombe Hill over five hundred pounds in prize money, reduced my handicap to eleven and won several tournaments including the junior championship, I was also introduced into playing for the junior team which came second in the league just one point away from winning. This year (2002) and my third

What factors contribute to make a good Leader and how might your style of leadership vary To be successful when involved in Individual, Racket, and Team sports Leadership is important in all sports because it influences behaviour. Team captains, managers, and coaches all have to have leadership qualities, they also have to be men and women of genuine inspiration. The value of such captains and leaders cannot be underestimated weather they have a laser tongue and short fuse such Roy Keane at Manchester United FC or a man of few words and shows little emotion such as Martin Johnson of Leicester Tigers RUFC and England. Both of these players are both incredible leaders but they have different leadership styles, but they both have one thing in common they have the respect of the other players around them. We must remember that leaders are not just team captains, they can be coaches managers, and in individual sports the athlete themselves. The captain is basically the manager's eyes and ears in a team. He is the one the rest of the team confide in, which is why it so often appears that a manager and captain have be carved from the same mould, they operate on the same wavelength and have the same aspirations. So what makes a good leader, all the points explain this, * Communication skills * High motivation * Enthusiasm * Having a clear goal or vision * Empathy *

When learning to perform a particular task in a sport, a beginner does not simply become expert 'overnight', it takes practice and lots of it. Fitts and Posner (1967) realised this and developed a theory as to how a skill is learnt.

When learning to perform a particular task in a sport, a beginner does not simply become expert 'overnight', it takes practice and lots of it. Fitts and Posner (1967) realised this and developed a theory as to how a skill is learnt. They suggested that a person learning a technique, goes through three distinct phases when making the transition from complete novice to expert stage. These three phases are: * Cognitive Phase * Associative Phase * Autonomous Phase Cognitive Phase This is the first stage of learning where the basic elements of the skill are introduced to a person and is essential if the person is to progress through the stages until they can perform the skill consistently well. This method utilises the 'Perfect Model' to show the beginner how the skill should be exactly performed. It gives the person a model to mimic in order to learn the skill. The person is introduced to the aspects of the skill that are put together in a particular order and performed at a particular time for the skill to be performed. Eg, foot position; back lift; head position and eye line in cricket are all aspects that need to be addressed when performing a batting shot. The purpose of this stage is to give the person a mental image of how the skill should be performed. Associative Stage During this stage, the learner knows exactly what is needed to perform the skill, but

analysing performance

Analysing performance First touch Preparation - Hands are the correct distance apart, although I should have my fingers all touching when round the stick, but I have my index finger pointing down the stick, this is a bad idea as its usually how fingers are broken. - Knees bent and left foot forward, giving me a low strong body position. - I move to meet the ball in the correct position however I don't actually move forward towards the ball, so in a game situation it may then be easily intercepted. - I make sure I know where I'm going to pass the ball next. - I need to move my feet round more sometimes so that I receive the ball on my open stick side rather on the reverse stick side (it is better to do this because it is easier and quicker to pass from the open stick side. If you then get tackled, then it is your strong side and so you are more likely to keep the ball). To do this I need to anticipate where the ball is going to go by watching the player, which is passing the ball, position. Execution - I move my stick forward to receive the ball, and bring it back when receiving it, although sometimes my stick is at too much of an angle and if it is a hard ball then it goes of the end of my stick. - When I receive the ball, I need to have my stick nearer to the floor, as when I don't have a strong grip the ball goes under my stick. - Occasionally I will receive the

There are many factors that are important for swimming 400m freestyle. The very first is the shallow racing dive. This is important because it starts off the race and the reaction time must be fast

Analysis Of Performance Section 1 There are many factors that are important for swimming 400m freestyle. The very first is the shallow racing dive. This is important because it starts off the race and the reaction time must be fast and your dive accurate in order to get the fastest start possible. This leads to the underwater phase, the fastest part of the length, where streamlining is essential as it allows you to glide through the water faster. Dolphin leg kicks also make the underwater phase faster but you can only go up to 15m underwater. The freestyle technique is important, too. This must be controlled in order to keep going throughout the whole race at a good pace. It also has to be economical and powerful so as not to use up too much energy. As well as that, the breathing has to be efficient and bilateral in order to see all opponents and also to keep streamlined within the water and not slow down the stroke. Next there are the tumble turns, which have to be fast and close to the wall to get the best push off. Also, both feet have to hit the wall or else there is disqualification. The push off the wall has to be powerful and streamlined with fast, light dolphin kicks to keep the momentum going from the push off as this is the fastest part of the length, as I have said. Kicking in freestyle is extremely important as it keeps you balanced and flat in the water.
