The nature of skills
ST task THE 'NATURE' OF SKILLS Skills represent your talents, abilities, and aptitudes - in short, what you are good at doing. Skills are built gradually by repeated training or other experiences. They may be, manual, intellectual or mental, perceptual or social. (Source: I) Skills are built gradually by repeated training or other experience. May also be defined as any competence possessed by someone; in an employment using there hands well among manual workers. The acquisition of skill is a tortuous process that takes us through the following sequence: . Unconscious incompetence This is the stage when ignorance is bliss, when it looks easy and you don't realise how much there is to it. In an example of a skilful presenter to the observer, he may be performing the task effortlessly. 2 Conscious incompetence This is the realisation that, when you first try to emulate the skilful performer, you can't do it. This is an unpleasant discovery which may shock you into giving up and returning to the relative comfort of stage 1. 3 Conscious competence This stage is hard work! It is when you are able to do a competent presentation, but only by investing an enormous amount of conscious effort into every aspect of it. You have to force yourself to make adequate eye contact with the audience and to stand still. You have to force yourself not to talk to the visual aids and to
Analysis of Performance - Badminton
ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE - BADMINTON Karl's many strengths include a very good smash shot which is hit superbly with tremendous accuracy just before the tramlines which then opponent can not return the shuttle cock back over the net this is because the shuttle his hit with lots of power because of the precise timing of the shot, the transference of the body weight by following through into to the shot and the flick of the wrist on the impact of the shot. Karl's other many good talents in badminton is the awareness of the opponent and this is a key factor is why he is a good player he always knows where his opponent is with really looking because he hits a shot at a direction and if it returns back to him he hits it at the other direction which leaves the opponent vulnerable and a good mind picture of the court. The very few weaknesses in Karl's play is his serve, he does not really do a short serve or a long serve it always seems to land in the middle and a opponent is left to smash the shuttle but Karl's excellent reaction gets the shuttle over the net. If Karl is told to do a short serve it seems to hit the net or land in the middle. This could to Karl's grip, or angle of the racket or because he just wants to get on with it as he is inpatient. IMPROVEMENT OF PERFORMANCE To help Karl's problem on serving I will need to examine in closely by him serving s I will need to
Discuss the Differences Between Skill, Ability and Techniqueand How You Would Structure Practices To Enhance These Components of Fitness?
DISCUSS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SKILL, ABILITY AND TECHNIQUE AND HOW YOU WOULD STRUCTURE PRACTICES TO ENHANCE THESE COMPONENTS OF FITNESS? To be a sportsman at any level, you must have skill, ability and technique. These components of fitness are essential in the development and production of any activity, varying from simple movements such as walking, to more complex activities such as the high jump or tennis serve. There are many definitions of skill, ability, and technique and they are often related and underpin each other. Skill can be defined as the ability to choose and perform the right techniques at the correct time, regularly and with the minimum of effort in a specific movement in a sport. "It is a co-ordinated act, involving complex movements brought together in a consistent and smooth manner". Whereas, Ability is the quality of being able to perform; a quality that permits or facilitates achievement or accomplishment. "Motor abilities are innate inherited traits that determine an individual's co-ordination, balance, ability and speed of reactions". Ability is also what you are born with; we inherit our ability from our parents, which means it is genetic. Therefore it is likely that you will play the sport that your parents still or used to play. So if your parents were good at a particular sport, then that could be what makes you good at that sport. There are

(b) (Acquiring and Performing Movement Skills) The classification of motor skills is necessary for effective learning. Identify a motor skill in sport and explain your classification of it using the following continua: open - closed discrete - serial - continuous. Using your classification describe how the skill should be practised for a novice. Explain whether the skill should be practised as a whole or in parts. Identify and explain the three phases of learning motor skills. A player receiving a ball in the centre first and quickly passing it on is an open skill, it is affected by the positioning of other players on the court as well as the speed that the player receiving the pass has just ran to pick it up and of course the position the player is in and the height and speed the pass has been received at. The skill is a serial skill because it includes many different sub-routines, the first being running, followed by jumping, catching, landing and then finally passing the ball onto the next player. A serial skill also has a clear beginning and end. For a novice the skill would be broken down into smaller chunks using part practice, firstly you would concentrate on catching, then throwing and then introduce the footwork rule, this would allow the player to concentrate on one part of the subroutine, it also prevents the learner becoming overloaded with information.
An Investigation Into The Performance Of A Basketball Player
An Investigation into the Performance of a Basketball Player For Jonathan Nye Candidate Number: 7900 Centre Name: Peter Symonds College Centre Number: 58281 AS Coursework (Part II) Analysis and Evaluation of a Performer Planning: Week / Date: 1 / 15/01/07 What I Did: * I selected the activity of Basketball to analyse and evaluate a performer within. * The following Core Skills were identified within the sport, and are as follows: . Core Skill 1 - Passing/Receiving a Chest Pass 2. Core Skill 2 - Dribbling with both hands 3. Core Skill 3 - Shooting/Lay-ups 4. Core Skill 4 - Shooting - Free-throw 5. Core Skill 5 - Marking/Intercepting * I then constructed 5 observation sheets, one for each Core Skill. * This was followed by 2 data sheets (for 2 of the 5 Core Skills). Week 2 Date: 22/01/07 What I Did I observed the performance of the following Core Skills: . Passing/Receiving a chest pass 2. Dribbling with both hands 3. Shooting/Lay-ups I then completed one data sheet for one of the Core Skills (1. Chest Pass). I finally researched the information on the correct Technical Model for Core Skills 1 - 3. Week 3 Date: 29/01/07 What I Did I observed the performance of the final two Core Skills: 4. Shooting - free-throw 5. Marking/Intercepting I then completed a final data sheet for a second Core Skill (4. Free Throw). Week 4 Date: 06/02/07 What I
Skill Acquisition - Assignment 3
Skill Acquisition - Assignment 3 The majority of sports require constant decision making. Once the brain as received information, made sense of it and organised the information a decision can be made. This decision will start a plan of action, and it is then vital that we make this decision as quickly as possible. the space between a stimulus being presented and the performers response to it is called reaction time. Reaction time is often overlooked and usually underestimated in the preparation process for athletes. What we usually refer to as 'explosiveness' is often actually great reaction time. In just about all sports you will find a constant series of reactions to auditory and visual cues. A players ability to respond quickly, properly and precisely to the information being sent is very important in determining their success in the sport. "Reaction time - the time between the first presentation of a stimulus and the performers reaction" Movement time - the time between the first reaction to the stimulus and the completion of movement Response time - the time from the presentation of the stimulus to the completion of the movement" (J Stafford-Brown, et al, 2003) Therefore Response Time = reaction time + movement time In order to be a skilled performer the ability to combine quick reactions with quick movements is vital in order to be able to respond to stimuli
Leisure, Structure and Society
Leisure, Structure & Society "The first thing to be said about leisure is that it is not new." (Torkildsen) There have been many different interpretations of leisure in the past, some of which still exist in today's world. Although there are so many definitions not one can be deemed as right or wrong. This is due to the fact that leisure is continually expanding and certain aspects of people's lives incorporate a certain part of a theorist's definition. To explore leisure and Torkildsen's statement there are a number of areas to consider. These areas include the history of leisure, this should be uncovered to find out how, why and where leisure first came about. Also the variety of definitions needs to be explored to see if there is the ability to create an all-embracing definition of leisure. As well as definitions, associated concepts of leisure such as recreation and play need to be analysed. These are all important aspects to consider when it comes to writing about leisure. As leisure is such a vast subject it is hard to put boundaries in place to split the content. This could be due to the fact that leisure has existed in people's lives since the earliest years. In today's world leisure is seen as a totally different concept from when it first existed. In one-way leisure can be defined as time away from constraints, such as work. People also have the opportunity and

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
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
