1- Establish the facts in the situation 2- From the facts, determine what is at stake 5- Select the best option for decision 3- Consider potential options for action or decision, and the consequences of each 4- Assess the pros and cons of each option 6- Implement thedecision and manage the consequences Have all the facts been identified? - Have I thought about factors that might influence me? - What values must be preserved in the situation? - Is this a just and reasonable decision? - Is this a situation that has legal implications? - If the situation is not legal, what ethical issues might be involved? How does each option promote a fair decision in relation to the: - - outcomes or results - - means used to achieve - results Analysis And Decision-Making Process For Situations That Have Moral Implications What is the best course of action to follow? Who should be involved? Decision-Making Implementation Analysis

Step 5: Practice Planning & Cycling Safety

Practice Planning

General Considerations: The goal you have in mind The sport and its demands The participants you coach The choice of activities The way each activity will be run Choosing and Designing Activities for your Practice

Sport Discipline Relationships

Affective (attitudes, behaviour) Motor (technical skills, execution) Cognitive (knowledge, understanding) Dimensions of Learning Dimensions of Learning

Basic Cycling Skills Skill Acquisition

What is a skill? “The ability to perform a movement or chain of movements with high consistency, high precision, and high efficiency”

The Challenge Zone Or matching the difficulty of the activity with the skill level of the participant PARTICIPANT PROFICIENCY LEVEL Low High Low High REQUIRE- MENTS OF THE ACTIVITY BOREDOM ANXIETY

3- or 5-Phase Skill? Skills can be analyzed as: 5 Phase:  Set-up  Preliminary movements  Force-producing movements  Critical instant  Follow-through Example?

3- or 5-Phase Skill? OR, 3 Phase:  Set-up  Movement  Follow-through Example?

3- or 5-Phase Skill? OR, 3 Phase:  Set-up  Movement  Follow-through Example?

Skill analysis task: Choose a cycling skill What is the purpose of the skill? Break the skill down into parts Is it 3- or 5-phase?

Step 7: Equipment and Basic Cycling Position

Observation Strategy: If you wanted to observe this skill being done by a beginner, what would the best vantage point be? Where to stand? What to look at? What to watch for? Fill in “Observation Strategy” box

Key Performance Factors How is the outcome achieved? Key Performance Factors How is the outcome achieved? Outcome / Form of sport task The outcome serves to describe when the skill of tactic is clearly achieved or not achieved Outcome / Form of sport task The outcome serves to describe when the skill of tactic is clearly achieved or not achieved Detectable Signs What is observed? How is it observed? Detectable Signs What is observed? How is it observed? 1.Preliminary movements (i.e. Grip / Stance) 2.Back swing or recovery movement (i.e. positioning, back swing, recovery) 3.Force producing movement (i.e. Use or sequence of muscle group and joint action) 4.Critical instant (i.e. impact, strike, ) 5.Follow through.

Participant engages in the task but the outcome is not achieved Participant engages in the task and achieves the outcome or demonstrates form What key factors come into play? Participant does not engage in task Inconsistencies or inefficiency in movement or task - Little precision or low probability of success in the task Consistent and efficient movements demonstrated in task – High degree of precision and probability of success in the task Detectable Signs What is observed? How is it observed? Detectable Signs What is observed? How is it observed?
