3. C/W 3.2.1 Sports Psychology Guidance

3.2.1 Sports Psychology
Guidance
Starter (Pairs): Suggest ways in which you are given guidance to improve or learn (use the pictures below)

4. Types of Guidance
Guidance – A method to convey information to a performer. Guidance methods:
Visual (Seeing)
Verbal (Hearing)
Manual (Assist movement – physical)
Mechanical (Use of objects/aids)

5. Mechanical Guidance – Using a mechanical aids to assist a performer
In pairs: Can you think of different types of mechanical guidance in sport?
Examples:
Use of arm bands (Swimming)
Use of trampoline harness
CAN YOU THINK OF ANYMORE?
Advantages
Disadvantages
Good for potentially dangerous skills
Allow a performer to gain a feel for a movement without fear
Good for building confidence and feeling safe (beginner)
Equipment needed may be expensive
Performer can come to rely on the aid

6. Visual Guidance – Performer can see something
In pairs: Can you think of different types of visual guidance in sport?
Examples:
Demonstration of technique
Footage of performance (DVD, Youtube, Analysis Software (Elite Performers))
Photographs/Posters
CAN YOU THINK OF ANYMORE?
Advantages
Disadvantages
Useful for all levels of performers
Especially good for young/inexperience/beginner performers
Allows performers to see what is required
Specific aspect of skill can be observed
Performers can copy skill
Demonstration must be of good quality
Some skills too complex to demonstrate
Performers must be fully engaged

7. Verbal Guidance – It is provided by another person speaking to you
In pairs: Can you think of different types of verbal guidance in sport?
Examples:
A coach/teacher talking to performer, highlighting technique (how to perform)
A coach/teacher highlighting ‘trigger points’ e.g. Get in to shape, point your toes
CAN YOU THINK OF ANYMORE?
Advantages
Disadvantages
Useful for higher-level performers (Elite)
Good way of highlighting key teaching points
Sharing basic information and instructions
Questioning – make performer think
Result in information overload
Can be boring
Sport Stadiums noisy, make it hard to get information across
Complex things are often difficult to explain verbally.

8. Manual Guidance – Physically moving the performer
In pairs: Can you think of different types of manual guidance in sport?
Examples:
Physically guiding the performer, moving performer arm to ensure correct motion of forehand drive.
Supporting the performer for safety, so that the required movement takes place,
e.g. supporting a gymnast whilst trying to do a vault
CAN YOU THINK OF ANYMORE?
Advantages
Disadvantages
Good for complete beginners
Allows the performer to develop the correct feel
A movement can feel different when someone else is moving your body for you
A performer may not think they are actually performing the skill themself

9. BEGINNER
ELITE  
Need visual guidance to understand what a skill looks like
Unlikely to need visual guidance other than to highlight minor faults, for example use of slow motion
Also need verbal guidance but it should not be too long or complex
Will need verbal guidance. Likely to be longer and more complex than that given to a beginner. Fine-tuning technique
Likely to need manual/mechanical guidance to support or guide through the correct technique.
 Elite performers are unlikely to need manual/mechanical guidance unless there is an unexpected flaw in technique.

10. Exam Question
For a beginner in the sport of basketball, how might visual, verbal and manual/mechanical guidance be provided? (3 marks)
Mark Scheme
Visual – Coach demonstration or video/DVD
Verbal – Coach Feedback, Parent or Peer
Manual/Mechanical – Coach guiding the player’s arm through the movement of e.g. shot

11. Learning Objectives
Know the four types of guidance that impact sport performance (4-5)
Be able to evaluate and apply the use of the four types of guidance, using appropriate examples (6-7)
Be able to choose and justify which types of guidance are appropriate for beginners and elite performers (8-9)

12. Apply it!
You all have a selection of performers on your desk. Chose one.
Describe how a performer may use each method of guidance
Apply the methods of guidance to your performer, evaluate which methods of guidance will be more suitable for your performer.
Use the pictures on your sheet to justify which methods of guidance are better suited to a beginnger and an elite athlete.

13. Each table will select one person to take up the hot seat.
You need to prepare 5 difficult questions from todays lesson, then another 5 lessons from any other topic this year.
