A Day in the Life Of...
A Life in the Day Norbert Krysa, 14, lives in Slough, Berkshire along with his mum, dad and brother. He plays football for a local team and enjoys going to watch speedway in Reading. Norbert attends The Westgate School in Cippenham. He is currently in year 10 studying for his GCSE's. I love getting up early in the morning. I get up quickly and eat my breakfast, after which I have some time to watch television before I leave for school. I hate coming to school early, so I leave at the same time everyday, and as I get into the building the bell goes. Perfect! Tutor time is just chatting and answering to the register. After the first two lessons it's time for break time, and I meet up with my mates. I'm always dedicated to sport and that's what we like to discus between us. Once that very short fifteen minute break is over the clock is against me as I head for lesson three. After that there's another lesson then its lunchtime. Once again I meet up with my friends lunch flies by quickly and time for the last lesson of the day. Throughout this last lesson I mostly chill out and think about what I'll be doing at home later in the afternoon. At home, first I get changed out of my school uniform and put on a tracksuit. When I've done that I have a quick snack then head to my computer to chat to my mates or play some games. After that I may go out to play football or just watch
B-Tec Level 3. Football
CHEST CONTROL PASS - Describe the techniques used to perform this skill: MERIT - Explain WHY each of the above techniques are used: Head neck and eyes This is used so that you can keep focus on the ball but also you need to be aware of the people around you so after you have controlled the ball you can make a decision on where to pass or whether to dribble. Eyes watch the ball on to the chest so that you can control the ball well enough to be able to take the ball away after the touch on the chest. Head back so the ball doesn't hit you in the face. Body Shape Body shape is open so the ball can be brought down with ease and also so that the body can adapt to the height of the pass coming towards the player and not only that but the body is open and spread out to hold of oncoming defenders so that you can shield the ball after it comes down. Position of feet Feet facing the direction of the ball which is forwards in most cases and also on your toes ready to move in any direction that the ball goes. Point of contact Ball hits the chest area (pectorals) and the ball and chest make contact at the bottom of the ball so that the ball is cushioned and brought down quickly and the ball stays in your control. Use of arms Arms are out by the side for balance if the jump is needed to chest the ball and the arms can also be used to hold off defenders that are behind the
Discuss the role of feedback in the learning of skills.
Discuss the role of feedback in the learning of skills In my essay I am going to 'Discuss the role of feedback in the learning of skills' by: breaking down the various types and aspects of feedback, then relate the role of feedback to three different sports: one sport is an individual sport (athletics), one a racket sport (tennis) and the other a team activity (rugby) and comment on how the type/result of feedback differs in each one. Firstly I am going to define a few words that shall be used within my essay: Skills-" An organised co-ordinated activity in relation to an object or situation which involves a whole chain of sensory, central and motor mechanisms." Wellford Skill can also be defined as the ability to bring about a predetermined result with maximum efficiency and certainty, with minimum outlay of time, effort and energy There are many forms of feedback:*Positive *Negative *Intrinsic *Extrinsic Positive feedback- when a skill is performed well giving a successful outcome, so that next time when in the same situation the player knows what action to perform again.E.g a manager telling the rugby player that his/her tackle has good technique. This is often used for amateurs just starting the sport Negative feedback- this is when the weakness of an action is picked out and the player is told how to correct it.E.g a tennis coach telling the player that they

My Local Study My chosen sport is Gaelic football and my local club is called Roger Casements GAC which is situated in the medium sized town of Portglenone. The club was founded in 1940. It is a GAA club with the aim “The GAA is a community based volunteer organisation promoting Gaelic Games, culture and lifelong participation” (www.gaa.ie). There are 9 teams in my club ranging from under 6 years to seniors, with 20 -25 players on each panel. The club is organised by an elected committee comprising 12 people and assisted by the backroom team for the organisation and management of the teams. The club is the pride of the community with many paying members, 300 in total. The Antrim county board organises fixtures for senior players whereas the southwest Antrim board organises matches at juvenile levels. Development from Grass Roots to Elite: Grass Roots - The lowest level in Roger Casements is the under 6 team which trains weekly and play small scale friendly matches against other local teams. Skill development is the main focus at this young age. Schools - The secondary schools in the area also support the development of young players. Local schools such as St. Louis and St. Mary’s have a high reputation of producing successful Gaelic teams. The standard of competition increases progressively through the age groups as players have access a higher level of coaching
Describe theories related to personality and how they affect sports performance. Evaluate critically personality profiling in sport.
Describe theories related to personality and how they affect sports performance. Evaluate critically personality profiling in sport. What is a personality? Hollander tells us that a personality ''Is the sum of an individual's characteristics which make a human unique.'' But it is not known for sure what a personality actually is or how we actually begin to form them. There exist three main personality theories and each of them relate to sports performance in their own way. The first theory is called the trait perspective theory. Trait theory states that we are born with personality characteristics that influence the way in which we behave in sport and in everyday life. Personality traits are stable and therefore vary little over time. Some sports performers may have an aggressive trait and this may surface in a variety of different situations. The key people behind this theory are Eysenck, Cattell and Girdano. Eysenck identified four primary personality traits and arranged them in a 2 dimensional diagram. The model was laid out in a cross, and at one end you have introversion and extroversion, and the other stable and neurosis. According to Eysenck you could either be stable or neurotic, but not both for example. It is said that extroverts, with their outgoing and sociable nature, would be more suited for team games such as football. Where as a quiet, reserved Introvert

drugs in sport
PSDSD 1019 Drugs in sport Drugs in sport is a major problem at this moment in time as it is beginning to become easier to attain drugs in your locally area. There is four different aspects that will be looked at in this essay are the four different aspects of drugs in sport which are philosophy, sociology, psychology and physiology. Each of these different aspects is influential in drugs in sport. These issues are major in sport, as they not only affect the professional athletes that people think that they do. A survey taken of sefton Liverpool is only one example how it affects everyone not just professionals. This showed that anabolic steroids had been the third most commonly offered drug behind cannabis and amphetamines, revealing that 6·4% of boys and 1·3% of girls had been offered anabolic steroids (Clarke 1999). We can see the problems with drugs in sport in that if children find out there favourite players or athletes are taking these drugs then they must be tempted and the survey shows how easy it is for them to gain possession of the drug. Drugs are a major issue that has to be looked at. Un officially reports claim that there is as many as twenty to forty percent of gym users taking perfromencing-enhancing drugs. This shows the severity of drugs in sport. (Drug scope website) The first aspect to look at is the philosophy of drugs in sport. Philosophy is
Local and National Provision for football.
Local and National Provision for football Warren Vessey Word count 976 Introduction By the end of this essay I hope to tell you about all the local provision there is in the area. Also how talented footballers are selected for youth academies and professional teams. I hope to explain the opportunities there are in the area to play football in a team and how to be selected into regional then national teams. The progress of a talented footballer to reach the big heights of professional football is a long and cruel path full of obstacles and setbacks. It all begins in the backyard or playing in the street as a little kid who is just finding how fun it is to kick a round leather ball filled with air. This is where the learning of the basic skill of playing football and the technique used to kick the ball through massed practiced learning. Talking from experience active kids like I was at that age was always out playing football either down the local playing field with my mates or playing in the back yard with my brother. Here is where I learnt to develop my skill and refine in a way I could make it better than other people. In football you do need to develop team working skills but also have a great self determination to better yourself and practice hard so your skill has developed more than your mates has. If you want to succeed in the harsh game of football you have get
Local and National Provision for football.
Local and National Provision Introduction In this investigation I will charter the progress of a talented performer, throughout the said performers career, allowing me to analyse the development of the performer from grass roots to area, county, regional and international level. I will also take into account appropriate provisions and programmed opportunities for both genders and performers with disabilities. At grass roots level the most significant contributor to the access a young performer has to sport is school and this is no different in football. 'Grass-roots' football in the United Kingdom is the responsibility of the 43 County Football Associations. These are independent bodies, which are affiliated to the Football Association, and are responsible for all aspects of the game at local level. One of the key tasks undertaken by County Football Associations is the affiliation of local competitions and leagues, registering players to clubs and the organisation of match officials and the administration of discipline. The County Football associations are now also responsible for the development at local levels, for example organising coaching, Mini-Soccer tournaments, women's' and girl's football and training programmes for referees and first-aiders. The individual county associations are then affiliated to the Football Association. It is the responsibility of the
