Section 5 Flashcards
1
Q
Skill
A
- A learned ability to bring about the result you want with confidence and minimum effort
2
Q
Open vs closed skills
A
- Open skill is performed in a changing environment where a performer has to react & adapt to external factors
- Closed skills always performed in the same predictable environment, not affected by external factors
3
Q
Low vs high organisation skills
A
- low is one which can be easily broken down into different parts that can be practised separately
- high is one which cannot easily be broken down into different parts that can be practised separately because the parts of the skills are closely linked
4
Q
Basic vs complex skills
A
- Basic is one which does not need much concentration to do
- Complex is one which needs lots of concentration to do
5
Q
Massed vs distributed practise
A
- Massed means practising the skill continuously without a break. Works well to improve basic skills
- Distributed means practising with breaks for rest or mental rehearsal. Works well to improve complex skills
6
Q
Fixed vs variable practise
A
- Fixed means repeating the same technique in one situation over and over again. Useful for practising closed skills and useful for beginners
- Variable means repeating the technique in different situations that you might need to use it. Useful for practising open skills and useful for performers as they become more experienced
7
Q
Mental preparation
A
- Being mentally prepared helps to keep control of emotions & cope with stress, so performance is best
- Helps focus and confidence
- Mental rehearsal: imagine yourself performing well
- Practising skills during warm up can also help mental preparation
8
Q
SMART
A
- Specific: target must be specific and outline everything exactly to ensure focus on goal
- Measurable: To see how much progress towards goal has been made over time, so you are motivated
- Achievable: Targets must be set at right level of difficulty. If target is too easy, it will not motivate, if target to difficult, you might be negative about performance & give up
- Realistic: Making sure you have everything to be able to fulfill target. Means being physically able to do something, & having resources
- Time-Bound: Time limit is needed to make sure target is measurable. Meeting short term target deadlines keeps you on course to reach long term goals, keeping you motivated
- Targets need to be reviewed regularly to see progress & what is needed to achieve
9
Q
Verbal feedback
A
- An explanation in words of how to perform a technique
- Advantages = can be combined with other types of guidance, helpful for experienced performers who understand technical language,and can be given during performance; useful for improving open skills
- Disadvantages =Less useful for teaching high organisation & complex skills which are difficult to explain, could be confusing for beginners if complicated language is used
10
Q
Visual feedback
A
- Visual clues help you perform a technique.Coach could use demonstration or videos & diagrams of a technique
- Advantages = works well for beginners who can copy skill, can be used to teach low organisation skills; each skills can be shown step by step
-Disadvantages = Less useful for teaching complex & high organisation skills; more complicated & difficult to copy
11
Q
Manual feedback
A
- When coach physically moves your body through the technique
- Advantages = you can get “feel” of a skill before doing it on your own, works well to teach people of all skill levels
- Disadvantages = A performer could rely on it and not be able to perform skill without it, difficult to use with big groups of learners
12
Q
Mechanical guidance
A
-Guidance given using sport equipment
- Advantages = Useful for teaching beginners as they feel safe while practising new skill that might normally be dangerous, helpful for teaching complex & high organisation skills
- Disadvantages = A learner might be unable to perform skill without help of equipment, difficult to use in large groups
13
Q
Intrinsic feedback
A
- You know how well you did technique because of what is “felt” like
- Works best for experienced performers - they can judge whether or not they have performed well
14
Q
Extrinsic feedback
A
- Someone else tells or shows you what happened & how to improve
- Suited to beginners - they do not have experience or knowledge to accurately assess their own performance
15
Q
Concurrent feedback
A
- Received during a performance
