Weaknesses Coursework
A Level P.E Practical Area of Assessment One Weakness 1 During a Cut Shot my hands are in an upwards direction. This occurs more regularly when I am batting later on in an innings when I begin to get tired. Effect of Weakness on Overall Game/Performance By having my hands facing upwards when playing a cut shot it demotivates me when I get out playing that shot because I know that I can play it properly. I play the ball underneath my eyes and I get far enough over on the off side but instead of hitting the ball into the ground or over the top I tend to hit the ball straight to backward point. This is because my hands are facing in an upwards direction. This is because earlier in my innings it is one of my favourite, most highly scoring shots. My team might get annoyed that I keep getting out in the same way because I bat at number 3 and therefore I often come into bat when the team needs me. The opposition may notice that I get out cutting and therefore would motivate them to put it in the slot for me to cut because they no my hands are facing upwards and therefore there is a chance of a catch. This means in a game situation there is always a chance of getting me out playing the cut shot and therefore it is not an effective shot to play until I sort this weakness out. Compared to an Elite Performer Ramnaresh Sarwan bats at number 3 for the West Indies and is one of the
My chosen sport for my Observation and analysis portfolio is golf.
AS Sport & Physical Education Practical Observation & Analysis Portfolio Introduction My chosen sport for my Observation and analysis portfolio is golf. When reviewing the game golf we can divide the games into 5 core skills as follows: - ) Driving 2) Mid Irons 3) Approach shoots (Pitching and Chipping) 4) Putting 5) Bunker Play In my observation and analysis portfolio I will be looking at my strengths and weakness in my game based upon these 5 core skills. Each core skill will be divide up into even smaller and more detailed components for example: - When looking at my current performance in golf I find easy to pick out my strengths and weakness, unlike most sports golf is very individual sport and you as the player can imminently tell strong points from the bad ones because as a golfer you can feel the shoots you play and known if it was a good or a bad shoot, unlike team spots where some times you find weakness you didn't know about through thorough observation because they might be due to other players and environmental pressures which could affect your performance. At present I feel my major strengths according to the core skills in golf are as follows:- ) Driving 2) Mid irons 3) Putting With driving being my strongest strength and putting probably being my weakest out of my personal strengths. In addition to this information this is only a very brief
Critically analyse how the media, sports funding, education and the business sectors have affected sport The sports industry can be categorised into three different sectors
Task 5 B Critically analyse how the media, sports funding, education and the business sectors have affected sport The sports industry can be categorised into three different sectors which are based upon who is running the activity or where it is located. The three sectors are the public, private and voluntary sectors. Public Sector The public sector is a service that is provided for the general public. It is provided by local authorities whom provide facilities for the general public to use. Participation at these facilities is greatly encouraged usually through themed programmes such as Muslim ladies only swimming or free sessions for youngsters to get them involved in sport. A lot of facilities that are owned by the local authority often provide activities or sports such as swimming, indoor football, squash and the gym. What separates the public from the other two sectors is that it is the public's own money that funds public sports facilities. Places such as leisure centres do charge an entry fee but profitability isn't the main focus of these businesses. In the 1970's local authority's first started popping up with the aim to provide for everyone in the community. The problem was that through lack of proper investment the facilities began deteriorating and looking scruffy. They had achieved their goal of providing affordable sports access to the community but

Sports Technology - Developments
Sports Technology Assignment 2 Sports equipment and materials have been continually developing for many decades, due to the advancement in science and technology. It has effected many areas in sport including, video and movement analysis with the use of Prozone, high speed cameras, stronger and more flexible equipment, more protective clothing and better playing facilities. These advancements have played an extremely important part in helping individuals and teams prepare for training and games better; it has also allowed for very detailed assessments to be taken so they can improve and maintain high standards of performance. Prozone was founded in 1999; their focus was and still is to provide match and performance analysis for teams in order for them to improve performance quality. In order to do this they focus on scouting, post-match break down, live analysis feedback and trend analysis queries. http://www.prozonesports.com/main_services.htm 8th April 2008 Their service is always matched to the team's goal, values and aims, so that the team can get the most out of the products, an example of how Prozone's products and services are used within the coaching process is shown in the following diagram: http://www.prozonesports.com/main_services.htm 8th April 2008 The development of computers and their software has allowed for companies like Prozone to enlarge the
The development of Tennis and Rugby Union within the UK
Unit 3 By The Sports Industry The development of Tennis Tennis is a the 5th most popular sport within the UK, at least 2% of adults participate in this sport on a regular basis. Over the eight centuries before modern tennis was invented there was only one game called Tennis. As the popularity of the modern game increased, there had to be a name to distinguish 'old tennis' from modern tennis. Real Tennis is the name in the UK, Court Tennis in the USA, and Royal Tennis in Australia. The game originated in France sometime in the 12th century and was referred to in ecclesiastical manuscripts as "jes de paume," the game of the palm, played with the bare hand. As early as the 12th century, a glove was used to protect the hand. Starting in the 16th century and continuing until the middle of the 18th century, rackets of varying shapes and sizes were used. Around 1750, the present configuration of lopsided head, thick gut, and longer handle were used. The shape of the racket enabled the player to scoop balls out of the corners (walls and floor were considered in-bounds) and also to put 'cut' or 'spin' on the ball. Royalty and the very wealthy mainly played the game. The oldest Real Tennis court is located at Hampton Court Palace, originally built by King Henry VIII at about 1530. A Real Tennis court has a very different appearance from that of a modern tennis court. The surface
