PPW Flashcards
Describe
After a performance in netball against players of similar ability to me, I sat in the gym hall alone and got my PPW.
It was a sheet with a wheel on it with 8 mental factors around it, each factor having a scale from 1-10.
1 being a poor performance and 10 being an excellent performance. The - factors varied from …..
For each factor I rated how I felt I performed from a scale of 1-10, 1 being poor and 10 being great. I looked at my results and saw which factors placed high, making it my strength and which factor placed low, being my weakness.
4 points explain why you chose method
Valid
Measurable
Practical and simple
Appropriate
Expand explain Valid
This is because I played against players of similar ability to me which is helpful
Expand explain Measurable
This is helpful because it gave me a permanent record of my data, so the data was there forever and I could consistently look back on it.
Expand explain Practical and simple
This meant that it was easy to set up, carry out and analyse my results due to the fact that the norms were readily available and could be interpreted easily.
Expand explain Appropriate
This is because it is a standardised test that is regularly used, that has norms and has been researched.
This means explain Valid
This means I could play as I typically would play, giving me an accurate impression of how I normally play so my correct strengths and weaknesses were identified.
This means explain Measurable
This meant that after training, I could re-test and compare my old score to my new score, which can allow me to monitor how effective my training is and if it needs to be changed or not.
This means explain
Practical and simple
This meant that the test was completed quickly and my results were appropriately analysed, allowing me to create an effective development plan to improve my weaknesses.
This means explain
Appropriate
This means that I can trust my results are helpful and they can allow me to accurately create a training plan for improving my weaknesses.
4 points analyse
Complete the PPW immediately after the game
Complete the PPW in a quiet area on my own
I choose the PPWs factors
Keep a digital copy
Expand analyse Complete the PPW immediately after the game
This is because if I wait too long I can forget how I truly felt about each specific factor during the game and end up lying and making up answers in order to complete the wheel.
Expand analyse Complete the PPW in a quiet area on my own
This is because it allows me to be calm and take the time to properly concentrate on my performance rather than being distracted and writing down random data.
Expand analyse I choose the PPWs factors
So that they are factors that I understand. This is because if I do not understand the factors I will just make up an answer for the sake of finishing the PDP instead of knowing exactly how I felt in that subfactor.
Expand analyse Keep a digital copy
This is because if I lose my physical copy, once I have completed a re-test I will not be able to see if I have improved or stayed the same in the mental factors as I will need to guess my previous answers.
