Weaknesses

Question 1

Mauling perfect model

Answer 1

Prep: join at the back with a low body position and a neutral head and spine.
Execution: drive with leg drive while remaining bound to the player Infront of you.
Recovery: Awareness of when to leave maul and realign defensively.

Question 2

Mauling effect on performance

Answer 2

caused line out drive to be ineffective and not make ground. Also was unable to identify when to hold a player up to create a maul.

Question 3

Mauling application to theory

Answer 3

Could be due to over arousal as the game could have been a derby game or in a tournament. + more detail from book

Question 4

Hand off perfect model

Answer 4

Prep: move ball to opposite arm from tackler
Execution: Use a locked straight arm to keep tackler at arms length.
Recovery: regather ball in two hands.

Question 5

Hand off effect on performance

Answer 5

Poor technique in execution phase as The arm was not fully extended. Also opportunities to hand off missed by performer.

Question 6

Hand off application to theory

Answer 6

Optimum arousal levels can reduce reaction times. Too high arousal could have lead to somatic and cognitive anxiety which lead to the player not being able to hand off effectively.

Question 7

Spin passing in both directions perfect model

Answer 7

Prep: one hand over the top of the back of the ball and the other towards the front.
Execution: Brice with the back hand while wrapping hand over the ball to create spin. Use front hand to guide the ball.
Recovery: follow through with hands and then return them to a neutral position.

Question 8

Spin passing effect on performance

Answer 8

This slowed attacking play as the ball was not distributed effectively

Question 9

Spin passing application to theory

Answer 9

Social inhibition due to the phase of learning, associative may experience over arousal

Question 10

Guard positioning effect on performance

Answer 10

Lack of awareness around breakdowns in defence allowed the 9 to have more space undefended

Question 11

Guard positioning application to theory

Answer 11

Team cohesion would have been poor due to the individual attraction of how each player views the team being low, reducing work rate

Question 12

Dummy line effect on performance

Answer 12

Timing was poor which made the attack predictable

Question 13

Dummy line application to theory

Answer 13

Increased acceleration / deceleration. Acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity / time. Newtons 1st law of acceleration

Question 14

Kick chase effect on performance

Answer 14

Poor chase caused opposition to gather the ball uncontested

Question 15

Kick chase application to theory

Answer 15

Motivation, no inner drive to achieve goal could be due to external factors such as evaluation apprehension

Question 16

Coordination effect on performance

Answer 16

Unable to catch ball consistently caused knock ons which gave the opposition the ball

Question 17

Coordination application to theory

Answer 17

Relates to electrical impulses not being effective, axons, neurotransmitters , all or nothing law

Question 18

Agility effect on performance

Answer 18

The ability to change direction quickly helped with footwork before contact to make it harder to tackle

Question 19

Agility application to theory

Answer 19

Newtons 3rd law of action reaction states that every action must have an equal and opposite reaction

Question 20

Speed effect on performance

Answer 20

The ability to move a body part or whole body quickly was not used well and therefore space was not used effectively
