Factors impacting on Performance Unit 3.1 “Record and submit evidence of seeking two different examples of feedback from others which evaluate your performance development plan.”

Your answer must... What questions did you ask? Identify the first type of feedback you requested Provide an example of HOW you received this feedback What answers did you get? Provide evidence of the feedback you received Explain WHY this type of feedback was beneficial for evaluating the effectiveness of your performance development training programme

For example... What questions did you ask? Verbal Feedback I requested verbal feedback from my teacher so I would receive knowledgeable feedback based on my performance. I asked if my teacher could regularly watch me perform during my interval training sessions and watch specifically for my foot flexion and placement during my run. My teacher was then able to identify strengths and areas for improvement within my performance. Knowledge of Results I was able to get knowledge of results feedback by asking a classmate to time my performances of the 1500m alongside my peers. I took this information and collated it into a peer comparison table to allow me to review the results. I have attached my times as appendix 2. Visual Feedback I requested a classmate to film me running the 800m over and then used the footage to complete a movement analysis sheet that looked at the technical aspects of my performance. I repeated this process every two weeks to monitor my progress. The movement analysis compared my performance to model performance criteria for running technique. I have attached my movement analysis sheets as appendix 3.

For example... Verbal feedback My teacher said my foot is well flexed, but isn’t being placed far enough in front of my body with each stride. This is impacting on my stride length. This was type of feedback has been valuable for evaluating my performance development as my teacher helped to identify what I was doing well and suggested how I could further improve my 800m performance. Knowledge of results The results showed progress I was making and that my times were becoming quicker as I moved through my training programme. The biggest jump in progression happened in the first two weeks of training. This type of feedback was beneficial for evaluating the effectiveness of my training as the results were accurate and reliable so I knew for certain if I had improved. These improvements complimented my training programme and I made me confident my training methods were appropriate. My PB throughout the training went from 7:52 – 6:43 minutes. Visual Feedback From the video analysis after four weeks of training it showed that I still need to raise my knee drive by approx. two inches in order to fully extend my stride. This type of feedback has been useful for evaluating the effectiveness of my training programme as the video analysis was precise and highlighted my strengths and areas for further improvement in comparison to a model performer.
