Performance analyses II

1. Performance analyses II • BTEC Level 2 Diploma in Sport • Carlos Munoz

2. Warm up task Task 1 Fill in the gaps • involves gathering of; this could be the number of blocked shots in basketball, successful overhead smashes in badminton or the distance travelled from the cross in a trampoline routine. means that it is carried out in action, or while the event is going on, so is best not done by the people taking part. • is the process of gathering data that might help you improve your performance. For example, a tennis coach may want some information on where an opponent has been most successful and with what kind of shots. • is that allows us to and save or upload our performance in a number of ways. This can be done with any of the following; a cam recorder and stored on our hard drive, CD, DVD, memory stick or USB device, mobile device, like a mobile phone, where wit technology that usually comes with the phone, you could upload the clips to a computer using cables or Bluetooth

3. Session aims • To know and understand how to assess the technical and tactical skills of an elite performer explaining, in particular their strengths and areas for improvement

4. Strengths and areas for improvement • Perhaps, the simplest form of observed assessment is a strengths and weaknesses assessment. This could be as simple as a list of a performer’s strengths and weaknesses. This is an inexpensive and effective system provided that the observer has sufficient knowledge of what constitutes strong and weak performances and technique execution

5. Performance profiling • If a trampolinist is not performing a somersault correctly or is not coping with the physical demands of the sport, then the coach or trainer can design a suitable exercise or coaching programme. But what if the trampolinist has trouble with their nerves before the start of the competition or they have some kind of mental block that stops them from executing a skill? • Although not always obvious, psychological factors do affect sporting performances

6. Task 2 connect the definitions with the terms • The amount of fun you can have • The ability to adjust to negative outcomes positively • The level to which you apply yourself • Belief in yourself and your abilities • The extent to which you feel able to influence events • The ability to attend to relevant cues only • Confidence • Concentration • Control • Commitment • Re-focusing after errors • Enjoyment

7. Psychological terms • Confidence belief in yourself and your abilities • Concentration is the ability to attend to relevant cues only • Control the extent to which you feel able to influence events • Commitmentthe level to which you apply yourself • Re – focusing after errors is the ability to adjust to negative outcomes positively • Enjoyment The amount of fun you can have

8. Using performance profile of psychological factors in sport • Talk with the performer and ask them to tell you how they feel about their sport. Do they ever feel anxious, and if so, when? Do they understand the terms above and if so, how do they score them in terms of importance and relevance to themselves? • If you can talk to their coach about how they rate these factors and if they would add their own

9. In this performance profile, it seems the main emphasis for any intervention should be focused on the areas that they identify as a weakness, in this case refocusing after errors and concentration

10. Using performance profile of technical & tactical factors in sport • Performance profiling can similarly be used to asses both technical and tactical aspects of sport

11. Performance profile of technical factors in boxing

13. Performance profile of tactical factors in football

14. Assessing the technical and tactical awareness of an elite performer Task 3 45 minute’s • Firstly, select any athlete of your choice • Task 3.1. Decide on a method to analyse your selected players performance, for example; observational real time footage, observation by video and/or notational analysis • Task 3.2. Carry out an assessment on your selected performer’s; • Technical skills • Tactical awareness • Task 3.3. Write a report that identifies your selected athlete’s strengths and area’s for improvement

15. Assessing the technical and tactical awareness of your own performance Task 4 45 minute’s • Task 5.1. Carry out an assessment of your own technical skills and tactical awareness. This can be done using the following techniques; • Take part in a sport of your choice and have 2 people observe your performance • The first observer will simply watch and record observation about your technique in a simple notation sheet • The second helper should video your performance and then complete the same collection sheet

16. Elite Performers Task 5 you have 10 minute’s • In small groups (3/4 students) you are required to research the different types of sports performers that exist and explain (giving examples) each one with some detail.

17. Professional sports performers • These are performers who are paid to compete in their sport. Several sports have professional leagues and teams (e.g. Football, rugby) • A performer who is paid for their performance and training but has another job/income is a semi professional athlete

18. National representatives • These are sports people who have been selected by trial and/or observation, perhaps through talent identification, to represent their country to perform

19. National/world record holders • Anybody who records a time or distance in athletics can strive to be a national or world record holder. If your event is the 100m sprint and you record a time that is recorded as faster than anyone in the country, then you became the national record holder. In the same way, if you jump higher than anyone else competing in the world, then you become world record holder.

20. Olympians • Prior to an Olympic or Paralympics event, and sometimes nearer to that year, a single event trial or multi event trial is held to decide who are the very best; those who are most successful will have the honour of competing at the Olympic Games

21. Methods of assessment • 1. Observation analyses It is possible to be observed and analysed by your teammate or club mates, your coach and by yourself, particularly if you have access to a video of your performance

22. Observation analyses Methods of Assessment Interviews SWOT analyses

23. Interviews: It is possible to get a great deal of information from an interview. You could ask a performer about what they consider to be their strengths and weaknesses or you could ask them about what tactics they might use against a particular opponent. Remember that sometimes it is difficult to step away from yourself and analyse objectively, in other words, people partly removed from the action can sometimes get really good information from you that you may have been completely unaware about

24. 3.SWOT Analyses A SWOT analyses is an analysis that can be completed by a coach or the performer and would usually look something like the one below, which is for tennis.

26. Assessing the technical and tactical awareness of your own performance Task 5 45 minute’s • Task 5.1. Carry out an assessment of your own technical skills and tactical awareness. This can be done using the following techniques; • Take part in a sport of your choice and have 2 people observe your performance • The first observer will simply watch and record observation about your technique in a simple notation sheet • The second helper should video your performance and then complete the same collection sheet

27. Key learning points • Observation involves watch sports performances • Analyses is deciding what happened • Evaluation is the end product of observation and analyses. It is the final process where decisions are made and feedback is given to the performer • Qualitative analyses is largely subjective, meaning it is dependant upon personal interpretation and therefore is subject to bias or error • Quantitative analyses is more involved and scientific and involves the direct measurement of a performance or technique. Match statistics recorded while the game is in process is called real time analyses. • Notation analyses is a way of collecting data and can be done by hand or with a computer;
