The table for attacking.
Table for defending
These tables show my motor skills, the physical part of my game. They don’t explain the three other parts of my game, my perceptual and cognitive skills and my overall fitness.
Perceptual skills.
My perceptual skills are my ability to read situations, balls and improvise on that situation to gain an advantage.
The way that I analysed myself on my perceptual skills is by my knowledge of results.
The feedback I got was very positive. When I was attacking my off the ball running into space was excellent., this was because of my awareness of where defenders where. Whilst defending I read the ball quickly and therefore I got to the ball first or got a block to the ball.
This therefore means that my perceptual skills were very good and I therefore wont be concentrating on improving them.
Cognitive skills
These are set plays, strategies or tactics used during play. To be able to put these into practice you need to have good perceptual skills also. During an attacking play I relied on initiative instead of set plays but I did have tactics, such as, playing off the shoulders of the last defender to break the offside trap.
Whilst defending I also did okay as I had tactics, such as, making the attacker face is own goal, but I didn’t really have set plays, although I had a marking system set up with the other defenders.
Therefore I believe that my cognitive skills can be improved by setting up some set plays or by working with the same defenders and attackers more often.
Fitness
My overall fitness throughout the game was good. It deteriorated towards the end as fatigue set in but my fitness could have been a lot better. I therefore need to improve my fitness and also improve things such as strength and power in certain areas of my body, e.g. my ankles.
In order to achieve this raised level of fitness I will have to go to the gym and build up the muscles that I think are weaknesses.
