Question 11

Describe a how you used the General observation schedule to gather data for the physical factor in badminton (4)

Answer 11

Full sized badminton court
• 20 minute game
• Opponent of an similar ability .
• Observer watched the game and marked tallies on my general observation sheet.
• Set up a camera to film the game so that afterwards we could watch the game again to
ensure that the third partner’s data was correct and he didn’t miss any shots.
• The data was collected on a GOBS sheet with a row of skills, such as overhead clear and
smash, at the top of the page
• Column with 5 minute windows down the side.
• If the shot was successful a tick would be placed in the corresponding box if unsuccessful a
cross was placed.
• The person watching would also move down one row every 5 minutes when my teacher
signaled.
• The criteria for a successful shot was found at the bottom of the sheet so that my partner
knew if a shot was successful.
• At the end I tallied up my successful and unsuccessful shots.
• I then identified which shot had the most unsuccessful crosses and also compared my results
with the rest of the class to find my strengths and weaknesses.

Question 12

Describe how you used coach feedback to gather information on your performance (4)

Answer 12

• I received written feedback on a sheet of paper from my manager
• When a player was down injured during a competitive 11-a-side football game.
• The feedback detailed a tactical change that we were going to implement such as changing from a 4-4-2 to a 4-3-3 formation.
• I then had to relay this information onto my fellow teammates, telling them to change formation the next time the ball went out of play.
• I also received verbal feedback throughout the match
• usually after I had done something wrong.
• My coach would criticise me first of all but then tell me how to improve.
• For example, he told me “would you stop making long passes that are losing possession! Make an easy pass to your teammate beside you then move into space to get it further up the pitch.”
• I was then able to adapt my game immediately after the feedback.

Answer 18

Identify weakness through GOS
Video model performer doing weak shot

Video yourself performing the weak shot 3 times
Tick/cross if you met the criteria on the Focused observation schedule for Preparation, Action and Recovery (PAR) of identified shot.
Note down which areas are weak for you.
