The Cycle of Analysis
Investigate Performance
Analyse Performance
Develop Performance
Evaluate Performance

4. Reflections on your own performance
INVESTIGATE
How do I investigate my performance?
I must collect information about my performance.
I can collect this information by using one of the following methods:
Observation Schedule
Video Analysis
Reflections on your own performance
Knowledge of results
Match analysis sheets

5. ANALYSE What do I do with the information I have collected?
I want to find out where my strengths and weaknesses are.
To do this I must use my knowledge of performance to analyse the information.
How do I analyse my performance?
I can compare the data I have gathered to that of a MODEL PERFORMER or against NATIONAL AVERAGES/NORMS.

6. What is a model performer?
A model performer is someone who can show the perfect way in which a skill or technique should be performed.
It can be a coach/video/peer/role model.
What does it look like?
Skills performed at the right time
Skills performed consistently well
Skills look effortless.
Skills are performed fluently and
with control.
Skills are performed confidently
Performer can make decisions
under pressure
There are few unforced errors.

7. DEVELOP
Now I know where my strengths and weaknesses are, what can I do to improve my weaknesses?
I need to choose appropriate methods of training (fitness) or methods of practice (skills/techniques).

8. EVALUATE
After training for a period of time, how do I know if I have improved my weakness?
I could retest using the same method of data collection I used during the investigation stage.
I could then compare the two and see whether or not I had improved.
This retest will also allow me to identify how effective my training was.
It will also allow me to work out if the training needs to be made more challenging or not.
