Use practical examples to show how a coach uses feedback to help a performer to learn a skill?

Feedback is an very important part in our information processing models as it compares our own performances with what we actually intend to do. Feedback occurs as a result of the movement we make and is the link between outputs into input.

      Feedback is very important to performers as it allows the performer to recognise if the skill they have done is to perfection, or if certain parts of the skill need to be improved. Feedback can come in many different forms; Intrinsic Feedback is feedback from the internal proprioceptors about the feel of the movement. For example, when a football player strikes at goal he will be able to feel if he made good enough contact with the ball to generate enough power. Another example could be whether of not a tennis player moves his racket in time to get enough top spin on the ball. Intrinsic feedback can also come from the performer to see how the skill was performed.  E.g. a badminton player assessing their serve after it has gone into the net again.

     Another type of Feedback is Extrinsic Feedback. This is feedback from external sources such as a teacher or coach. It is mostly received by the visual and auditory systems and is used to augment intrinsic feedback. I believe that this type of feedback is very important to beginners, as they are limited to their use of intrinsic feedback as they may not know what the perfect execution feels like. A good example of extrinsic feedback is the coach tells the performer how he is performing during or after the game. This can improve the performance of the player.
