PATTERNS- Springboard & Platform dIVING By: Cassie Anderson

Spheres: Fulcrum, rotations of somersaults, duraflex diving boards

Tubes: Hurdle, pushing off of the board, impact of pressure taking off of the board, the positioning when landing in the water, the structure of the diving board frame

Sheets: The layout of the individual dive Sheets: The layout of the individual dive. Each dive is made up of multiple steps that are seen as sheets and steps towards the end of the dive. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4

Dryland Yoga Stretching Layers: Coaching aspect, the additional training (belts, trampoline, dryland, visualization, watching tapes, modeling, weights) Dryland Yoga Stretching

Borders and Pores: The water and board, the railings, the limitations of your ability, swimsuit, bubbler system (air bubbles from the bottom of the pool that raise to the surface and break water tension-creating a less painful impact if landed on the water flat). Railings (Squire) Water

Having fun & qualifying for another meet! Centers: (What attracts us) love and passion, enjoyment of learning, furthering knowledge and expertise, advancing in a competition, social interaction with teammates. Having fun & qualifying for another meet!

Pressure of motion the diver is pushing downward into the board. Binaries: Mental determination between self and the physical part of diving, making a change in a dive that causes stress and fear of change.   Arrows: Momentum and direction of dive due to pressure amount and body placement on diving board, progression in dive difficulty (going from one somersault to 2 somersaults), relationship between self and spatial awareness, relationship between coach and athlete or the relationship between two synchronized divers. Pressure of motion the diver is pushing downward into the board.

Breaks: Progression into harder dives, conflicts between training and coaching styles, conflict between self and goals.   Time-Calendars: Attending the same meets every year, being coached by the same person, competing with the same people yearly, practice being at the same time every day. Cycles: Similarities in workouts, the direction of the somersaults, practice being at the same time day to day, training with the same people, same corrections day to day, attending the same competitions annually. (Batangan)

Clusters: Same people training on the same diving board day to day, repetition of same positions, similar training or coaching styles, workouts can cluster in the same diving groups each day (Ex: doing all front take offs-front dive, front flip) (Keyword Pictures) My Team

Gradients: The constant change in difficulty of dive, the challenge of having new competitors and teammates each year, mentality becoming more challenging, outside aspects of life affecting the daily challenges of practice. Triggers: Excitement of achieving a new dive or making a new change within a dive, getting a high score at a dive meet, placing well in a meet, and watching others get better can trigger you to achieve more. Rigidity-Flexibility: Strength being used against the diving board, timing with the movement of the diving board to get the maximum amount of height, the make-up of the diving board and stand which can give different depth to the dive, flexibility of the individual diving.

Webs: social connections made with coaches and competitors, the mental blocks faced when having to make change with dives, each dive connects with another, each dive has a point of difficulty level (each dive varies difficulty).

Emergence: Patterns of bad technique (ex: having your feet separate and not pointing them together), fear can emerge, so can conflict with coaches and self. Bad Technique (PHOTOSHOT)
