Midterm 1 Flashcards
action research
cyclical process of planning, acting, observing and reflection
- better than expected - great
- less than expected - changes
primary factor of effectiveness of IMP
perception of effectiveness
why did the rugby player form a diary
Even if they are looking, you cant tell if they are taking it in, you need to look at how they respond
why qualitative data
because numbers may not change much
imagery
all in the language and how we express ourselves
the rugby player’s baseline imagery
difficulty articulating as it was vague and unclear
phase one of intervention for rugby player
improve vividness/clarity - use simple skills and watch competent players as models
description of visual and kinesthetic cues
How do we know phase one worked?
what happened? whats the point? how does it work?
dairy entry shows increase in clarification of details - saturated description of what he focused on. - comparison - what did you see?
phase 2 of intervention (3)
systematic approach toward imagery routine - frequency and duration
- being in control
- they want to know - video footage - actions corresponding with what he sees?
final phase
learned a routine and taken over responsibility for his imagery use
- separation of imagined game and actual game
follow up interview -
scrummaging is 70% of imagery - recalling the setting and utilized
- saying what you are going to do vs what you do - relapsed for three weeks and went right back to where he was
2 developments of imagery skills
language development
basics of imagery training - vividness, controllability, self-perception
strategies for imagery
ready - optimal prep state
image - mental picture of correct execution
focus - concentrate on a relevant isolated cue
execute - just do it
evaluate - analyze - reflect - set you up for next performance
self confidence
expectations
- feeling good - expect success
- not great - soso results
is confidence observable?
yes - you can make inferences from it - reasonable assumption of success
how to observe confidence in athletic performance
body language leading up to it, but hard to tell when they are in the middle of it
what is confidence?
you expect success - confident athletes believe in themselves
self efficacy
perception of one’s ability to perform a task successfully - situation specific form of sel confidence - isolated and task oriented
why is it hard to gain self confidence in sports
because everyone can see and they are educated bystanders
effect of expectations on performance
pos - pos/neutral outcomes
neg - neg outcomes - far more effective
factors influencing sport confidence
demographics and personality characteristics - young (not enough practice) vs old, go getter vs introverted
3 sources of sport confidence
achievement - past experiences and expectations
self-regulation - controbility
social climate
3 constructs of sport confidence
confidence in decision making skills - successful experiences after practice
confidence in physcial skills and training - preparedness
confidence in resiliency - bouncing back from a not so great performance
