Why might Solskjaer use performance goals to help Mason Greenwood. State two reasons
As Mason is a beginner he could become demotivated if outcome goals or comparison with others is
used.
Performance goals cannot be affected by anyone other than the individual player so more likely to be
achieved if a beginner.
Focusing on the quality of performance will mean Milo is not thinking about the end result
Why might Solskjaer use Visual Guidance and Manual Guidance to help Brandon Williams improve his free kicks.

Discuss the suitability of athletics as a sport for an Discuss the suitability of athletics as a sport for an individual with an endomorph somatotype.
Yes :Would suit the field events of discus
Use physical weight or bulk to throw the implement
Have more power to gain a greater distance
Low centre of gravity helps when moving across or around the circle.
No: Sprinters need to be fast and dynamic to run with speed so an endomorph would not suit this event
To carry their body weight for a long period of time makes them unsuitable for middle or long distance
running
The ability to jump long or high is inhibited by their body mass
Evaluate the effectiveness of strategies that are being used to combat hooliganism at football matches.
Overall the strategies have significantly reduced the amount of violence at football matches compared
to the 1970s and 1980s. It is a lot safer for people attending matches but this has come at a significant
cost. However football hooliganism still exists and troublemakers are always looking to get around
restrictions.
(Travel restrictions / banning orders) This has reduced the number of hooligans travelling / attending
matches but costs a lot of money and police time to create a list of known troublemakers, their location
and their intentions. Banned troublemakers still risk attending matches as they have to be spotted for
their banning order to be enforced.
(Alcohol restrictions / Early kick offs) Means loss of income for local pubs and many spectators drink
elsewhere (home) which means that excessive consumption occurs earlier in the day which can lead
to disorder later in the day.
(All-seater stadia) Significant cost to clubs who get promoted to higher divisions and groups of
supporters can still sit / congregate in the same area. It is also possible for people to buy tickets for
known hooligans so that the authorities are not aware of their attendance.
(Improved security / Segregation of fans) This has significantly reduced the amount of disorder within
football stadiums but at a significant cost to clubs. The fear of being identified being involved in
violence means hooligans are moving away from stadiums and looking to cause disorder with rival
supporters in town centres / railway stations.
Evaluate the impact that the media and sponsorship have had on sports performers.
Media
A strong media presence could increase the pressure to perform which may reduce a performer’s
enjoyment. Performance may become extrinsically rather than intrinsically motivated.
Being in the media spotlight can bring fame but often brings with it scrutiny into their private lives. This
may affect the mental health and well-being of the performer as their movements and actions are
always being scrutinised.
Whilst good play can be highlighted and showcased it can also mean that the mistakes a performer
makes become very public. Inappropriate sporting etiquette or bad sportsmanship could be
highlighted, which could give the performer a bad name.
Sports performers who are extrovert may thrive with the added media exposure. However, for those
who are introvert, it may result in lower performance levels as they are unable to cope with this.
Sponsorship
The contract between the sponsors and the performer may demand that the performer has to submit
to various commitments which may mean a loss of free time or privacy or take them away from
training.
Sponsors product may not be suitable (unhealthy) which may affect the sports performers reputation.
Outcome goals may be set, which could increase stress to produce successful results in order to
‘repay’ sponsored support and uphold reputations.
A run of poor results may lead to a loss of sponsorship and therefore income even their professional
status. This could lead a performer to cheat during competition (bad sportsmanship) or take prohibited
substances to prevent such a run, maintain their sponsorship and source of employment.
Acts of direct aggression or cheating may put sponsors off or could result in withdrawal of sponsorship
for sports performers.
Marcus Rashford watches a video of Ronaldo perform a free kick before he then tries to perform it himself what type of guidance is this?
Visual
Visual Guidance
This is when a performer can see the skill being performed or practised.
Verbal Guidance
This is given by an observer after watching your performance. For example; coaching points given by the coach and relating to the technique of the performance.
Examples of Visual Guidance
Images
Demonstrations
Observations
Advantages of Verbal Guidance
Instructions can be given quickly
Can be used during the performance
no equipment required
Disadvantage of Verbal Guidance
Learners can only remember a limited amount of spoken information.
Some movements techniques are hard to explain.
The language could be too complex
Jurgen Klopp tells his side to gegenpress and build from the back and play with a high defensive line. What type of guidance is this?
Verbal
Advantages of Visual Guidance
Can be used with groups
Performer can perform a mental image of the technique
Useful for beginners.
Disadvantage of Visual Guidance
The performer might not be capable of matching the demonstration
Time consuming
Expensive if video is used
Manual Guidance
Manual guidance is when a performer is physically guided or supported by the coach.
A tennis coach holding a performers racket arm and moving it through the correct range of motion what type of guidance is this?
Manual Guidance
Advantage of Manual Guidance
Builds confidence.
Performer gets a feel for the movement
Helps to break a complex movement into parts

Visual
Why would Neymar not use manual or mechanical guidance
He’s already aware of how to perform the skill.
What type of feedback would Pogba (Elite Performer) use
Negative - to help him improve and correct errors
What type of feedback would James Garner (Beginner) get?
Positive because if you told him he did something wrong James might be demotivated
Knowledge of performance
Based on how well an athlete has performed a skill or task.. This type of feedback relates to the whether the technique was correct or not. The goal is not important here. Good for beginners so they can learn how to improve.
Examples include:
Despite losing a 100m race focusing on whether the sprint start was good or not.
Good long-range pass in football, not dependent on whether the striker scored from it or not.
Knowledge of result
Based on the outcome of a competition. This focuses on how successful a performer is in achieving their desired outcome (goal). This type of feedback is mostly factual. It tells the performer about a result.
- Better for Elite performers as they don’t have to focus on the technique, whereas beginners do not
- E .G. Whether they scored or not.
Rashford completed a stepover then his shot hit the bar from outside the box. Following applause from the crowd what is this extrinsic or intrinsic feedback.
Extrinsic -
Feedback for external sources, e.g. the reaction of a crowd
Rashford scored a free kick knowing he did it with the correct technique. What type of feedback is this Extrinsic or Intrinsic
Intrinsic feedback - Feedback from internal sources, e.g. how the movement feels
Ronaldo scored a hattrick and won the match for his side. Is this knowledge of results or performance?
KOR
Solskjaer told Rashford he played well despite not scoring. Is this knowledge of results or performance?
KOP
Which is best for Elite Performers KOR or KOP
KOP It’s more useful for Elite Performers
To determine what needs to be done to improve.
Define Arousal
Arousal is a physical and mental state of alertness or excitement.
Define Optimum Arousal
The point at which the best or optimal performance occurs
What does Arousal cause the body to do
Sweat More
Increase Heart Rate
What happens if arousal continues to increase past the optimal level?
Performance decreases
If Scott McTominay performs a tackle with low arousal is it likely to be successful. What level should Scott’s arousal be at.
No, it should not be performed with too high an arousal otherwise he might mistime it and get booked it would have to be at optimum arousal to be successful
If Tiger Woods is over arousal is his golf putt likely to be successful.
No because fine movements need to be done with low arousal.
How to control Arousal?
Mental rehearsal, visualisation or imagery
Positive self talk
Selective attention
Deep Breathing
Why can’t Paul Pogba’s arousal be too high before taking a penalty
when footballers take penalties, they need to calm their arousal so that they don’t become too excited and strike the ball too hard or miss the target.
How could Paul Pogba use mental rehearsal before taking a penalty
Paul could use mental rehearsal going through the penalty he’s about to take in his head will help him to focus and forget about the crowd. He will see him self score the penalty making him feel more confident
How could Ronaldo use positive self talk before taking a free kick
Telling himself he will score the free kick to motivate himself.
City are losing 2-0. Daniel James is on the counter attack for United and a frustrated Laporte tackles him from behind is this indirect or direct aggression.
Direct as it is towards the player..
The ball goes out of play following jeers from the home team. Henderson slams the ball in frustration is this direct or indirect aggression.
Indirect not causing physical harm to anyone
Scott McTominay enjoys playing football because he’s passionate and he loves winning what type of motivation is this,
Intrinsic
Ronaldo wants to win and score goals so he can win the UCL and Golden Boot. What type of motivation is this?
Extrinsic
Define Motivation
Motivation is the drive or desire to achieve something.
Is Jesse Lingard likely to be an introvert or an extrovert
Extrovert
How can stereotyping affect Women’s participation in sport
Because women have physically different builds (bodies) to men, some people may think that women lack the strength and endurance (ability to keep going) needed to play the same sports as men.
Some people may think that competitiveness is a more masculine (male) trait (characteristic).
Some people negatively stereotype women who are very physically developed (muscular). Comments on things like this may discourage some women from participating in some sports.
People who hold traditional and outdated views think a woman’s role is to be the carer of the family. Women exposed to these kinds of people may not have the same opportunity or time to play sport as men.
How does Media affect Women’s Participation in sport
Lack of Media Coverage of Women’s football compared to Men’s football, - Lack of Role Models.
How does Age affect Participation in Sport
Disposable Income - Children don’t have disposable income to spend on sport’s gear.
Available Time - Older people get less time always at work
Stereotyping - People think your too old to play
How is ethnicity related to participation in sport
- Inequality: in the English football leagues and UK athletics squads, around 30% of performers are from ethnic minority communities. Only 13% of the general population are from ethnic minority communities.
Football and athletics rely heavily on speed, power and strength.
Some people have suggested that certain ethnic groups have more fast twitch muscle fibres and a longer Achilles tendon. This means that they can create greater power transfer.
Disposable income - Minorities are likely to have less money
Commercialisation
To manage or exploit (an organisation, activity, etc.) in a way designed to make a profit. (Sponsorship / Media).
The process by which a new product or service is introduced into the general market.
Media
Diversified technologies which act as the main means to mass communication. These include:
- Printed media (e.g. newspapers);
- Broadcast media (e.g. TV and radio);
- Internet/social media (e.g. Facebook);
- Outdoor media (e.g.
Sponsorship
Provision of funds or other forms of support to an individual or event in return for some commercial return.
Advantages of commercialisation for the SPONSOR
- Media can show products during breaks in play
- Brand names can be seen around venues
- Raised awareness of Brand leading to increased sales
Disadvantages of commercialisation for the SPONSOR
- The media may not get a high number of viewers
- The company doesn’t get the amount of exposure they want
- The player/team doesn’t perform well
- A player becomes a bad role model due to negative behaviour reducing sales
Advantages of commercialisation for the SPECTATOR
- More coverage

- Receive top-quality products to use to help performance
Disadvantages of commercialisation for the SPORT
- Clothing and rules changed to make more appealing to viewers
- Fixture times and length of season changed to maximise viewing opportunities
- Breaks in play for adversiting purposes
- Minority sports not shown reducing participation
- Minority sports get little media coverage, therefore they lack sponsorship
- Negative reporting can give the sport a bad reputation
Disadvantages of commercialisation for the PERFORMER
- Event times make conditions less favourable for performers
- Withdrawal of sponsorship can cause financial difficulties
- Product may have bad image e.g alcohol(Smirnoff), gambling (Sky Bet)
- Required appearances take time away from training
- Pressure to win at all costs to keep sponsorship
- Restricted to sponsorship clothing/equipment

- Pay per view, have to pay for certain events e.g. Sky Box Office
- High cost of merchandise
- Minority sports not shown
- Sponsors keep best tickets for hospitality reasons
-];
Explain one reason why outcome goals may not be demotivating
Because if the right end result is not achieved the performer may give up and lose interest in the sport and overall be demotivated.
Explain why a coach would prefer his team had performance goals rather than outcome goals.
The focus with these types of goals are on personal improvement rather than team outcome, thus they are more motivating leading to improvement and if they improve they’ll likely get a good outcome.
Values of Goal Setting
- Increased Motivation
- Increased Focus
- Increased Standard
- Reduced Anxiety
- Improved Monitoring of Progress
- Improved Planning of Training Sessions
What does SMART stand for???
S = Specific M = Measurable A = Accepted R = Realistic T = Time Bound
What does S in SMART mean
Specific - Your goals should be specific to the demands of your sport, the muscles that you use and the movements and techniques involved. No Point in improving your agility if you are golf player.
What does M in SMART mean
Measurable - Your goals should be measurable so that you can clearly see whether you have achieved them or not.
If your goal is to improve your speed, you need to carry out regular speed tests to measure your progress.
What does A in SMART mean
Accepted - The performer and the performer’s coach must agree on the goals that are set.
If a performer accepts the goals, they will be more motivated to achieve and work towards them.
What does R in SMART mean
Realistic - Your goals must be achievable. If they are too difficult to achieve, then the performer could lose interest and give up on them.
What does t in SMART mean
Time Bound - Your goals must be set over a fixed period of time.
This gives a performer enough time to achieve them. There is no point in asking a performer to improve their speed by an unrealistic amount in just one week.
State why targets should be measurable
Targets should be measurable to see if you have achieved them,
Explain using an example why selective attention is important in team games
Selective attention is the ability to filter information so you can discount what is not important and focus on the stimuli so you can make a quicker decision. For example, if a player focuses on the goal during a penalty rather than the noise of the crowd they are more likely to score.
Describe one difference between short and long term memory
The long term memory is used to store information for future use, whereas short term memory only holds information for a few seconds, the time where you need to execute a skill.
What is the short term memory (STM) ?
Working Memory .Information from the display that has been attended to is held in the short-term memory for 30 secs. The information will be lost if you attend to something else.
What is the Long Term memory (LTM)?
Holds information that has been that has been rehearsed and stored. If memory or past experience is relevant to what is required at the same time, it is compared to information in the STM so that a suitable decision can be made.
Give an example of the feedback stage for a cricketer catching a ball.
They can feel the ball in their hands (intrinsic FB) and they can here hear team mates cheer when they catch it, (extrinsic FB).
Give an example of the output stage for a cricketer catching a ball
Impulse is sent to the arms and hands to start the appropriate muscular movements for a catch to take place.
Give an example of decision making for a cricketer catching a ball.
The cricketer will have attended to the sight/flight of the ball in the air. They recall the memory of a previous catch (from LTM) and compares it to what they are currently seeing (STM) so the decision to catch can take place.
Who is Visual guidance most useful for?
Beginners - as they can see what the skill should look like and create a mental image of what the movement should be. Also good when you can’t hear verbal guidance, during play.
What needs to be ensured during Visual Guidance
- Images must be clear to understand
- Demonstrations must be repeated more than once to be remembered
- Demonstrations must be good-quality
- Must be visible
Examples of Visual Guidance
A Video, Pictures, Demonstrations
Advantages and Disadvantages of Visual Guidance
Advantages – Performer can learn movements, can be used with groups
Disadvantages – If demonstration is poor, incorrect movement can be learned, quick or complex movements may be difficult to see clearly and to replicate it
Advantages and Disadvantages of Verbal Guidance
Advantages – - Instructions can be given quickly - Can be used during performance - No equipment required Disadvantages – Some movements are hard to explain, relies on the coach’s communication skills being good enough. Performer may forget information giving
What type of performer may use Verbal Guidance
Verbal Guidance is good for elite performers who know what the tactics and movements/techniques are required
An example of Mechanical Guidance
E.g. A tennis coach holding a performers racket arm and moving it through the correct range of motion for a forehand drive. A trampoline coach supporting a front somersault.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Mechanical Guidance
Advantages – Performer can get a feel for the movement, builds confidence and it can help break down a movement into phases.
Disadvantages – Feeling is not the same as actually doing it unaided, performer can become dependent on the support. Incorrect feel can lea to incorrect movement being learned, can only be used 1:1
Example of Mechanical Guidance
E.g. Using a float when learning leg movements in swimming.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Mechanical Guidance
Advantages – Performer can get a feel for the movement, builds confidence reduces danger
Disadvantages – Feeling is not the same as actually doing it unaided, performer can become dependent on support, incorrect feel ca lead to incorrect movement being learned, cannot normally be used with large groups.
Using an example, why mechanical guidance may lead to the performer becoming dependent on the support
Mechanical Guidance uses equipment, if the performer learns to swim using a float they may become overelaint and unconfident in water without the float.
Explain why beginners would not be able to learn on intrinsic feedback when performing a skill.
A beginner would not have a clear idea of the skill they are trying to perform, so they will not be able to feel whether they are doing the movement right or wrong, they would need extrinsic feedback.
Positive Feedback
- This is a vital process in telling the player what they need to continue to do for future games.
- Positive feedback is good for motivating a player. It’s mainly vital for novices as it boost their confidence when they are trying a new skill.
Negative Feedback
- Negative feedback is vital for finding faults for a player so that they can correct them for future games.
- Negative feedback is mainly used with elite performers so that they can make small alterations to their technique.
Extrinsic Feedback
- Extrinsic feedback often comes from a coach can also be from a teammate.
- Extrinsic feedback is important for beginners because they do not have the experience to recognise faults with their own performance.
Intrinsic Feedback
- Intrinsic feedback comes from within a performer themselves.
- Performers can use their senses to tell themselves (e.g. the feel of the shot off the bat in cricket or looking to see where a golf shot lands).
- The process of ‘feeling’ performance through the muscles is known as kinesthesis.
- Elite performers commonly use this. They know how a technique or skill should feel when doing it well.
What is the purpose of mental rehearsal?
Control Arousal
What do we call the mental technique where performers reassure themselves by talking to themselves in their own head?
Self Talk
Why is indirect aggression used
There is no physical harm caused, only ‘mental’ harm. The idea is to intimidate (scare) the opposition and make them feel less confident.
What do we call a performer who initiates aggression?
Aggressor
What do we call aggression when there is no physical contact between performers?
Indirect Aggression
Which motivation source does research show to be more effective in the long-term?

Why does Televising Sport such as Football better than Emmerdale
Sport can cost less money to televise than drama programmes for TV companies.
This is because TV companies are only paying for television rights and the production team to televise (show on television) sport. For a drama programme, they would have to pay for the cast, the staging, the production team and the backstage staff.
