‘Book End’ QuestionsSection 3 - Evaluation In 3a) you are asked to ‘Analyse’ the effectiveness of your preparation for both challenges. For this you should have two paragraphs, one for each challenge being referred to.
Analyse • Breakdown preparation method being analysed into component parts (E.g. 3 Rs for Self Talk / Progressive Overload applied to Fartlek or Interval Training). • Comment of the relationship each part has to • effectiveness – positives and negatives • Validity (did the method you chose meet your needs while analysing your challenges? Did the method chosen to overcome the challenge identified succeed?) E.g. Did self talk help you anxiety levels? If so, in what way? • Reliability (did the method being used improve the weakness without any other training method being required? Was there any drawbacks to using the method chosen? In reflection, would you change anything to improve how the method was used?) Reduction in skill level due to fitness focus. • Suitability ????????
Section 3 - Evaluation 3a) Example – Using Fartlek Training to develop CRE. Fartlek Training clearly improved my CRE. Because I continually increased the total time of my sessions (from 20mins in week 1 to 40 mins in week 6, 3 times per week) my CRE continually improved. I found that my shooting success rate was much improved, especially in the last 10 mins of game where before I was suffering from fatigue. My shooting success rate is now increased to 80% as apposed to 50% which is was before.
Section 3 - Evaluation 3a) Example – Using Fartlek Training to develop CRE. Fartlek Training however did affect my passing success rate. Using Fartlek training meant I had to dedicate time to completing the sessions. This time was perhaps at the sacrifice of alternative training methods such as conditioning drills or conditioned games. This meant that I spent less time maintaining and honing my other skills like Passing. What I found was that overtime I felt that mu passing success rate dropped. As this could not be attributed to muscular fatigue, it must have been because my skill level has drop due to a reduction in practicing. Therfore, I would use Fartlek Training in conjunction with Conditioning Drills and Conditioned Games.
Section 3 - Evaluation 3a) Example – Using Self Talk to lower Anxiety Levels (or frustration levels, improve confidence etc) Self Talk clearly lowered my Anxiety levels. With the use of the 3 Rs, I was able to Recognise the common triggers to my Anxiety, such as the score being level with 5 minutes to go, and preparing ‘Trigger Words’ such as ‘Keep Calm’, helped me to Regroup, which allowed me to understand more deeply the consequences of nervous thoughts/feelings leading to muscle tension, unforced errors. Ultimately leading to me being unable to influence the game. Finally, the ability to refocus my attention back to the objective allowed me to apply my full concentration, determination and positive feelings to the game. Being in this zone of optimum Motivation allowed me to influence the game more.
Section 3 - Evaluation 3a) Example – Using Self Talk to lower Anxiety Levels (or frustration levels, improve confidence etc) However, I believe my skills in Self Talk could have been even stronger as it did take me a while to ‘buy in’ to the concepts and potential benefits of using Self Talk. I initially thought it was silly and would not work for me so I put very little effort into the process. But after seeing and discussing further with team mates/coach, I started to commit to it, finally seeing positives changes in my mindset and performance during my ‘one off performance’.
‘Book End’ QuestionsSection 3 - Evaluation • 3b) Evaluate at least one strength of and at least one area for development from your performance
Evaluate • Comparison with focussed consideration of potential value. • Basically, for your weakness, what was it? what should it be like? What problems occurred because of it? • Value judgement based upon evidence – positive & negative. • Evidence can be from observation schedules, teacher/ video/ internal feedback, knowledge of results, etc. • Argument to support based upon evidence • Linking evidence back to why the ‘item’ in your performance was a strength or a weakness • Deep explanation. So what, so what, so what….. • Consideration of alternatives. • Would you do anything different to stop the new weakness occurring in your performance?
Example A clear strength in my performance in Badminton was my Overhead Clear. My OHC consistently had a high curved flight path and was aimed at the back tramlines. This consistently forced my opponent to the back of the court, creating space for me to exploit at the front for me to use a net or drop shot to score a point in the space or to force them to lift the shuttle up. This would allow me the opportunity to Smash the shuttle downwards, putting them under pressure. Under this pressure they would make a weak return, an error or miss the shuttle completely.
Example A clear weakness in my performance was my court speed. Due to focussing on improving CRE my Speed levels have lowered, meaning my ability to cover the area of the court has diminished. This creates problems in returning a challenging shot to my opponent as I will be constantly under pressure, making weak returns from being in poor positions to strike the shuttle with the correct technique. As I keep returning the shuttle weakly (e.g. Drop Shot falling too high at the Net) my opponent will continue to Smash or Kill the shuttle, ending the rally easily or forcing me to make another weak return or error.
