Explain the suitability of one method for collecting information on the PHYSICAL factor
P-One method I used for collecting information on the physical factor was the GOB (General Observation Schedule)
E.G-One reason why the GOB was a suitable method was because it provided me with a permanent record.
I-As a result, I am able to compare my new data to old data. This will allow me to track and monitor my progress and how effective my PDP has been. If I can see I am not making any progress I can change/ adapt my PDP to suit my needs.
E.G-Another reason why the GOB was a suitable method was because it was easy to fill out as the table had a clear lay out.
I-As a result, this meant that when filling out my GOB, it is very unlikely that I would make mistakes due to the table having a clear layout and clear headings. This meant my data is more likely to be reliable and trustworthy due to the limitation of mistakes.
E.G-Another reason why the GOB is a suitable method is because it allows me to identify my strengths and weaknesses.
I-This meant I was able to easily look at the sheet and identify what I rated not able to do (weakness) and good (strength). This then allowed me to have a specific focus for my PDP which was to develop my weakness. This meant I was using my time in training effectively due to my focus being what actually needs improvement.
E.G-A final reason why the GOB is a suitable method is because it is reliable. This is because it provides me with video evidence.
I-As a result, I am able to give an accurate rating as I have the direct evidence right in front of me. This means my data is more likely to be true rather than forgetting how effective my performance was of each skill.
Explain what a performer must consider when setting goals in the PHYSICAL factor
P-A performer should consider the SMART acronym when setting targets.
E.G-One thing a performer should consider when setting targets is that it is specific.
I-This means that they can focus more clearly on a certain element of their physical weakness and give them a clear focus to improve that area.
E.G-A performer should also consider their goal is adjustable and not set in stone.
I-As a result, This means they can take things in to account such as, injuries, illnesses and performance plateau. This means this can be taken into consideration and the goal can be amended to suit the performer.
E.G-A performer should ensure that their target is realistic regarding their performance level.
I-This means that the performer can set a target that is the right level of challenging without being unachievable. This means that the performer will remain motivated and will be more likely to make progress and improvements. This means that they are more likely to reach their goal.
E.G-Finally the target set should follow a time scale.
I-The performer should set both long term and short term goals. This will provide the performer with a clear training focus and objective. This will ensure the performer can plan training appropriately.
Explain the reasons why a performer may need to reprioritise a goal they have set for PHYSICAL factors
P-There are various reasons why a performer may have to reprioritise a goal they have set.
E.G-A performer may need to reprioritise goals if they have set It too hard
I-If the goal is out with the reach of the performer they will not achieve the goal. As a result, the performer will experience failure which will hinder the performers confidence levels.
E.G-A performer may also have to reprioritise goals if they have made their goal too easy.
I-If the goal is too easy to achieve the performer will experience an initial spike in their performance and confidence levels however this will be short lived. As a result, the performer will not progress fully and will experience a plateau in their performance standard.
E.G-A performer may need to reprioritise their goals if they are finding their training too boring. After 2 weeks the approach of gradual build up became boring and repetitive.
I-This meant that the approach was no longer effective as it was not challenging me enough due to its low intensity. I instead changed my approach to repetition drills after week 2 to heighten my intensity in my training. This allowed me to make better progress.
E.G-A performer may reprioritise their goals if they find a new and more important weakness.
I-This will mean that this new focus will have a more detrimental impact on their performance and as such will need to redirect their attention. In doing so, this will mean they can focus their attention on their priority.
