1. Evaluation and Analysis of Performance for Improvement (EAPI)
A-Level PE

2. To Start…. Using that performance:
From your observation of a clip of Youtube or live performance, you should now discuss your findings with a partner.
Using that performance:
Highlight strengths of any the skills that you observed (min x3)
Highlight weaknesses of any of the skills that you observed (min x3)
Highlight strengths of the tactics that you observed (min x3)
Highlight weaknesses of the tactics that you observed (min x3)
This should last approximately 4mins!

3. Strength because….. preparation execution recovery
The quality and range of the acquired and developed skills being performed.
Strength because…..
preparation
execution
recovery

5. Weakness because….. Outcome

6. Strength because….. Outcome

7. To Start…. Using that performance:
From your observation of a clip of Youtube or live performance, you should now discuss your findings with a partner.
Using that performance:
Highlight strengths of any the skills that you observed (min x3)
Highlight weaknesses of any of the skills that you observed (min x3)
Highlight strengths of the tactics that you observed (min x3)
Highlight weaknesses of the tactics that you observed (min x3)
This should last approximately 4mins!

8. Introduction and Overview
Quality of the range of acquired skills being performed (strengths and weaknesses)
Appropriateness and application of strategies and tactics / compositional ideas (strengths and weaknesses)
The use of physical attributes during performance
The overall effectiveness and success of the performance, and identification of major weakness
Creating a development plan for improvement of the major weakness, justifying the plan
In 15 minutes!

9. Balance (Dynamic / Static)
Physical Attributes (Fitness)
Fitness Components
Speed
Strength
Power
Flexibility
Aerobic Endurance
Muscular Endurance
Balance (Dynamic / Static)
Co-ordination
Reaction Time
Agility

10. Speed Physical Attribute in your chosen sport
Why is that physical attribute needed (think of advantages or disadvantages)
Strengths of my own physical attribute in my sport
Weaknesses of my own physical attribute in my sport
Speed
Speed is required for:
Acceleration
Recovery
Gaining advantages over opponents
To react fastest

11. Identify what you think is the biggest (and most important) weakness
Overall Effectiveness / Success and Identifying Weaknesses
Look at the skills, tactics and physical attributes strengths and weaknesses you have discussed
What was effective? What was successful?
Identify what you think is the biggest (and most important) weakness

12. Factors you MUST Explain First…
You must highlight aims and a time-frame for your training programme. As a general rule:
To improve skills – 8-10 weeks
To improve components of fitness – 8-10 weeks
To improve tactics – 8 weeks
Always start the training programme section with your intended time frame – think about how many sessions per week and how long the sessions are.

13. Assessment! The assessor is looking for:
Why it is appropriate to spend this much time on improving this one area
Frequency, duration and focus of the sessions
Detailed progressive practices
Detailed coaching points
Potential adaptations to the action plan dependent on progress
How improvement can be measured and is continually measured

14. Planning You then need to actually plan your training programme!
The examiner will look for the principles of training being applied to your plan – SPORT, FITT, WIMP
Remember you can state that your performer may already be training three times a week, so this programme could add to this
Don’t forget to test before and after the programme – how will you know that they have improved?
Think about SMART goal setting too
Lastly – you MUST be able to talk about this – no showing of diagrams. Practice this!

15. Evaluation Period Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4
Detailed Practices (FITT, MRS VOPP Testing WC)
Session 1:
Session 2:
Method of testing:
Justification
(Psychological and Physiological)
Short-term Physiological adaptations that may have occurred?
Psychological Changes?

16. Evaluation Period Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8
Detailed Practices (FITT, MRS VOPP Testing WC)
Session 1:
Session 2:
Session 3:
Method of final testing:
Justification
(Psychological and Physiological)
Long-term Physiological adaptations that may have occurred?
Psychological Changes?

17. For Next Week….
Again, using an observation of an amateur performance you have seen…
Highlight strengths of any the skills that you observed (min x3)
Highlight weaknesses of any of the skills that you observed (min x3)
Highlight strengths of the tactics that you observed (min x3)
Highlight weaknesses of the tactics that you observed (min x3)
Highlight strengths of the fitness components that you observed (min x3)
Highlight weaknesses of the fitness components that you observed (min x3)
Finally, create an Action Plan to improve the biggest weakness that you have observed!
This should last approximately 6-7mins!

18. Fitness component in your chosen sport
Why is that fitness component needed (think of advantages or disadvantages)
Strengths of my own component in my sport
Weaknesses of my own component in my sport

19. Biggest Identified Weakness
How Long would you need to improve this weakness (3 weeks min, 6 weeks max.)
Specific Coaching Practices (how will you progress the training?)
Coaching Points (how can you teach a specific skill in any drills you have chosen?)
