MLC Flashcards
what do coaches do
what are they doing right/wrong
determine the key aspects
track progress
improve performance
3 types of analyzing performance
lab testing
field testing
competition analysis
2 methods of movement analysis
quantitative (using numbers)
qualitative (description not using numbers)
5 stages in order of the knudsen-morrison model
- Preparation stage
- Observation stage
- Evaluation stage
- Intervention stage
- Re-observation stage
preparation phase
The coach must have a solid knowledge base about the skill. They must know the points of technique to teach the skill correctly.
he coach could construct a checklist outlining key points of technique.
a) Preparation
b) Execution
c) Follow through
observation phase
Observation involves the systematic gathering of information about the performance or movement.
things to consider
where to observe from
video or direct observation
when observe (lab or comp)
evaluation phase
Identify the strengths and weaknesses of the performer, prioritise in order of importance for correction and identify methods which can be used to improve performance
intervention
Involves providing feedback and corrections to the performer, usually under practice conditions, to improve performance.
Coach explains what errors are occurring and why and describes what drills/activities should be done to rectify these identified problems.
feedback 3 main functions
- Motivation
- To change performance
- To reinforce learning
2 types of feedback
internal feedback
external feedback
internal feedback
information the performer receives from within their body about how the skill felt
external feedback
information received from outside the body and is received via the sensory system – usually seen, felt, heard
can be intrinsic- off own actions
or; augmented, this is from outside person (coach)
what cues can be used for external augmented feedback
visual cues (too see what the movement looks like)
verbal cues (single words or short phrases to help)
proprioceptive (the coach physically moves what needs to be)
written (written feedback from the coach about positives and negatives)
what 2 things can coaches use to analyse performance
video
checklists
checklists
Checklists can be used to determine the technical and tactical ability of performers by using the following process:
- Checklist is made identifying the criteria for a successful performance
- The athlete performs the skill, and information is recorded by an observer onto the checklist
- Both performer and coach use the information gathered from the checklist to identify areas of strength and weakness which then allows them to plan for improvement
videos
Film the game/training session
- Replay for analysis/review, identify errors/compare to ideal performance/compare to previous performance
- Give feedback
- Implement strategy for correction at training, or similar terms/steps acceptable
4 step process of coaching a skill
- introduce the skill
- demonstrate and explain the skill
- practice the skill
- correct errors and provide feedback
simple vs complex
simple:
straight forward
little practice required
little cognitive ability
complex:
difficult to learn
require a lot of practice
require more cognitive ability
