socio cultural influences
what is skill
a learned action
what is ability
inherited traits that determine the potential to learn a skill
what are the classifications of skill
- basic v complex
- open v closed
- self paced v externally paced
- gross v fine
what is a basic skill
- form the foundation of more complex skills
- not complicated movements
- running, throwing
- generic
what is a complex skill
- high levels of coordination and control
- sport specific
- serving in tennis
- more difficult
what is a closed skill
- not affected by the environment
- self paced
- same technique each time
- gymnastic floor routing
what is an open skill
- affected by environment
- perceptual and externally paced
- adapt skills to a changing environment
- passing in frisbee
what is a self paced skill
- controlled by performer (timings)
- when to execute the skill
- throwing a javelin
what is an externally paced skill
- controlled by environment
- involve decision and reaction
- goalie saving a shot
what is a gross skill
- large muscle movements
- not precise
- rugby tackle
what is a fine skill
- precise movements
- small muscle groups
- high levels of hand eye coordination
- throwing a dart
what is a performance goal
- focus on an aspect of performance theyre in control of
- doesnt focus on the result (winning/losing)
- no social comparison
- sprinter beating pb
whats an outcome goal
- focus on end result
- ## focus on big picture
why do beginners prefer to avoid outcome goals
failure can be demotivating / winning may be unrealistic
what is SMART targets
Specific
Measurable
Accepted
Realistic
Timebound
what is the basic information processing model
input -> decision making -> output -> feedback
what is input
information from the display (senses), selective attention
what is decision making
selection of appropriate response from memory. The role of long term and short term memory.
what is output
information sent to muscles to carry out the response
what is feedback
received via self (intrinsic) and/or others (extrinsic).
what is intrinsic feedback
- via self
- felt by performer as they execute a skill
what is extrinsic feedback
- provided by external sources
what is visual guidance
- demonstration, observation, videos and images
- helps early stages of learning
what is verbal guidance
- after performance
- given by an observer
- questioning, coaching points, feedback
- specific and accurate
- know specific terminology
what is manual guidance
- when a performer is physically guided or supported by the coach
- example: coach supporting a gymnast doing a handstand
- given during practice
what is mechanical guidance
- a piece of equipment or an aid is used to help a performer learn and practise a skill
- generally used at the early stages of learning
- develop the feeling of the full movement of the skill
- allows learner to gain confidence
- example: float in swimming to develop leg action
positive feedback
- experienced when a performance achieves the intended outcome. - example: rugby player passes a ball, receive positive feedback when the receiver catches their pass
negative feedback
- when a performer does not achieve the intended outcome.
- example: a netball player shoots and misses, the player receives negative feedback
- encourages the shooter to adjust their technique in future shots.
how to utilise negative and positive feedback
to judge the performance as well as the outcome
advantages of intrinsic feedback
- Helps to focus on the feel of a skill
- Helps performers to solve problems themselves
- Helps to develop skills independently
- Gives performers more time to practise
Advantages of extrinsic feedback
- provides new or additional guidance
- helps performers to identify problems
- Offers solutions to problems
what feedback would beginners prefer
extrinsic
what feedback would an elite prefer
intrinsic to refine performance
what is arousal
physical and mental (physiological and psychological) state of alertness/readiness,
how do optimal arousal levels vary according to the skill being performed
high intensity contact sports have higher optimal arousal level than low intensitiy non contact sport
example of a skill that requires low arousal
darts, archery, snooker
example of a skill in sport that requires high arousal
rugby tackle
what arousal would gross skills need?
high level
what arousal would fine skills need
low arousal
how can arousal be controlled using stress management techniques before a performance
deep breathing, mental rehearsal, positive self talk
what is direct agression
deliberate physical contact between participants
indirect aggression
does not involve physical contact
example of indirect aggression
hitting a tennis ball hard during a rally
example of direct agression
foul from behind in footbal, too high tackle in rugby
characteristics of introvert
shy, thoughtful, enjoy being on their own
examples of sport for introvert
individual sports - fine skill required, low arousal
characteristics of an extrovert
enjoy interaction, socialable, enthusiastic, prone to boredome when isolated
sports for an extrovert
team sports - fast pace, low concentration, gross skills
intrinsic motivation
for pride/self satisfaction/personal achievement
extrinsic motivation
from another source/person
* tangible – certificates/trophies, medals
* intangible – praise/feedback/applause.
intrinsic is generally more…..
effective
what can an overuse of extrinsic lead to
undermining the strength of intrinsic,
rely on extrinsic
what is intrinsic most likely to lead to
continued effort and participation
what may extrinsic rewards result in
feelings of pride/ self-satisfaction
