Homework codes used in PE
Excellent of the standard expected
Satisfactory, some key content / information missing
Unsatisfactory, not of the level required - REDO
Homework
Task 1: Due – Friday 25th November
Question
Describe in detail how you identified and gathered data on a skill or technique that was a
weakness in your performance.
Homework feedback
Generally
. Not a good start, improvement required.
Some improvements required
Identify the key words identified and gathered data on
Use paragraphs - when describing how you identified and gathered data
take a new paragraph for each observation schedule.
Common mistakes
Not describing how you identified overhead clear as a weakness –
describing general data gathering.
Not describing how you gathered data on the overhead clear – describing
specific data gathering.

Why ?
We discussed three reasons on Fri – what were
they….
Model performers to develop knowledge and understanding of a skill
As you attempt to learn a new activity or improve your performance, model performers
can help you improve your knowledge and understanding of what it means to perform a
skill or technique effectively. The idea is that, by seeing someone else perform to a high
standard, you will get a clear picture of what it is you are striving to do.
In badminton, some skills and techniques are difficult to carry out effectively, for example,
a backhand clear. Watching a top level performer playing the shot, possibly from a slowmotion video, can assist you in learning how to perform the skill effectively.
It may be that a fellow pupil is able to play to a high standard providing you with ideas
about how you can improve your performance. Able performers may need to watch a top
level performer to get an idea of how to be a more effective player.
Model performers to motivate you to improve
Observing top level performers can make performance look exciting and motivate you to
improve your own performance. When observing performers of a higher standard you
can see a wide range of skills in action, motivating you to work towards performing at
their level.
(same as previous slide) Model performers to motivate you to improve
Observing top level performers can make performance look exciting and motivate you to
improve your own performance. When observing performers of a higher standard you
can see a wide range of skills in action, motivating you to work towards performing at
their level.
Identify weakness - movement analysis / observation schedule
It is not always necessary to observe a model performance to improve your knowledge and
understanding of what it means to perform a skill effectively. You can use an observation
schedule which breaks a skill down, into its three phases of action (1. Preparation. 2.
Action. 3. Recovery), and explains in words the subroutines that make up the skill.
By breaking the skill down you can also use the observation schedule to make comparisons
between your performance and that of the model performer. Helping you identify your
strengths and weaknesses.

our practice sessions are effective.

must have clear measureable objectives.
Principles of Effective Practice – Work / Rest Ratio
To avoid fatigue and injury practices should be achievable in a short period of
time.
High quality practice for a short time is better than repetitive low level
practice over a long period of time.
In any form of training it is essential to calculate your ratio of work relative
to rest.
But what does this mean….?

for 30s
haswhile
60s rest
what is Bhisworks

Q. Athlete

Principles of Effective Practice – Progression
Difficulty of practice
Performance Level
Principles of Effective Practice – Progression
 To ensure practices are specific to your current level of skill
learning and ability they must progress in difficulty as your
performance improves. You can add to the demands of practices
by, increasing the number of skills you have to perform,
increasing the pressure, increasing the opposition.
 To avoid the boredom it is essential to ensure that you work at a
challenging but achievable level at all times. To easy or to
difficult and you will quickly become bored/disinterested.
 To ensure you progress at the appropriate time, practices must
have clear objectives / success criteria.
Work / Rest Ratio + Progression = Principles of Effective Practice
To ensure we consider work/rest ratio and progression we will need to think
SMART to ensure our practice is effective
Think…. SMART
Specific: To stage our stage of skill learning (ability)
Measureable: Targets which we can measure to check for improvement / ensure
we progress at the correct time.
Achievable: Practice must be challenging but achievable to keep you motivated.
Problematic if to easy/difficult
Realistic: Keep practice related to demands of badminton and the overhead clear
(game like). By doing this makes it easier to transfer improvements into
activity.
Time: Consider work to rest ratio to ensure high level of performance, avoid
fatigue / injury
Homework
Task 2 (mini project): Due –Wednesday 30th November
Choose two skills, one should be a weakness (Overhead Clear) the second should be a
strengths.
This is not an essay answer, you may wish to produce a PowerPoint or a booklet. You may
wish to include pictures, a video clip or a diagram. The key content that should be
included is as follows:
 Description of the purpose of each skill (i.e. When and why it would be used)
 Description of how a model performer would perform the skill
 Explain how your performance differs from a model performer
