Discussion points for effectiveness of training programme
The programme/practices were too EASY
I became bored/lacked motivation
I was not improving my performance
I made the programme/practices more difficult and appropriate to my level
Programme started to show improvements
The programme/practices were too HARD
I could not perform the practice properly
I spent too long practicing it
I became bored/ lacked motivation and tired
My performance level dropped
I never had time to complete all of the practices in my training session
My performance therefore did not improve
I spent too LONG on the same practice
I spent too long practicing it
I became bored/ lacked motivation and tired
My performance level dropped
I never had time to complete all of the practices in my training session
I ran out of time in my session/ never had time to complete all my practices
My performance therefore did not improve
I never spent LONG ENOUGH on some practices
I ran out of time in my session/ never had time to complete all my practices
I did not have enough time to master and learn the skill/movement involved
In my next session I progressed to the next practice before mastering the previous one
My performance therefore did not improve
I never had a precise FOCUS for my practices
The focus of each practice should come from the analysis I completed before my
programme
I never understood the focus of my practice and why I needed to improve it
My performance therefore did not improve
FEEDBACK
Positive
Motivated and encouraged me to improve
Negative
Too much lowered my confidence and my motivation levels dropped
CONCENTRATION
Good concentration – because practices were suited to my ability and I was focussed on
improving
Or
Poor concentration - because practices were too difficult/easy and I was not focussed on
improving
FATIGUE
Practising the same skill repeatedly made me tired and caused my skill level to drop
Or
My practices were timed appropriately, not too long or short with varying focus to prevent
fatigue from effecting my performance
INJURY
I never improved/as much as I wanted during my training programme because I missed 3
training sessions due to injury/illness
Key words - Feedback, concentration, motivation, boredom, success level
