Key planning information Flashcards
Three stages of learning
Cognitive, associative and autonomous.
What must a goal be
SMART Specific Measurable Adjustable Realistic Time bound
Long term goal
Goal for end of PDP - getting a better score on method of data collection
Short term goal
Goal for end of session - complete x number of reps for approach - give each session a specific focus.
Effective goal setting - specific
Their goal should be specific one that is not written as a general statement. This means they can focus more closely on a certain element of their physical weakness and give them a clear aim to focus upon which can lead to them improving that area.’
Effective goal setting - measurable
‘Their goal should also be measurable and contain figures that can be compared against. This means it will be easier for them to measure if they have met their physical goals and can help them when considering their next goal as they simply adjust the figures based on the success of the previous session.’
Effective goal setting - adjustable
Their goal should also be adjustable and not set in stone. This means they can take into account issues such as illnesses, injuries or performance plateau’s that crop up and the goal can take this into consideration and be amended to better suit the performer.’
Effective goal setting - realistic
‘The performer should also ensure their goal is realistic to their ability levels. This means they can set a target that is challenging but not overstretching which can ensure that they remain motivated in their pursuit of improvement. This can then lead to them giving 100% in all sessions as they know that improvements are within their reach and they will be willing to keep persevering even when the going gets tough.’
What should a performer consider when creating a PDP
Length of PDP Frequency of training Approaches Weaknesses Time Monitor Variety Progression Sport-fit
Length of PDP
It should be long enough to see improvement, but not too long to become tedious and the performer loses motivation.
Frequency of training
Should be lower at the start - twice a week - but as performer improves the frequency should increase towards the end of the PDP
Approaches
Consider stage of learning and choose an approach relevant to that stage of learning.
If cognitive choose either shadow practice at start or carry out approach at home with no distractions, as improvements are made in the sub-factors, use more difficult (game realistic) training approach or bring approach into more game like scenarios.
Weaknesses
Consider areas with the greatest need for development, make development plan and choose approaches specific to said weakness as that’s where most improvement can be made, meaning more improvement to overall performance.
Time
Length of session can be increased along PDP to overload the training, for CRE it should be long enough to actually develop CRE, for sprinting and agility should be short in order to work at a high enough intensity to improve said sub-factor.
Monitor
A performer should plan for retests throughout the PDP, this will allow them to determine the effectiveness of the PDP, alongside giving them a motivation boost when they see their improvements.
