1. Monitoring and Evaluating Performance

2. Monitoring & Evaluating Performance
In order to continue to improve we must monitor and evaluate performance and the performance development process
Monitoring occurs WHILE you are training
Evaluation occurs AFTER you finish training

3. Monitoring & Evaluating Performance
Evaluation is concerned with whether the training/practice you have put into place has actually worked.
This involves revisiting original methods of data collection used to gather initial data about performance

4. Monitoring Performance
Methods of monitoring performance:
Personal reflections diary
General and focussed observation schedule
Coach feedback
Fitness tests
Training diary
Scatter diagram
Methods of monitoring can be used during a development program to ensure you are aware if improvement is happening. This will help you to make sure you make training more demanding (F.I.T.T. etc.) in order to continue improving.

5. Monitoring Performance The importance of feedback
Feedback is information received by a performer about their performance.
Positive feedback helps your performance improvement
Effective feedback needs to be positive
Feedback needs to be precise and accurate
One or two points of feedback given at a time
Feedback should be given as soon as possible after performance

6. Feedback FEEDBACK INTERNAL Is how you feel about your own performance.
E.g.
You took a shot that was
unsuccessful because the ball hit the front of
the ring. You would know that next time
you shoot you would have to shoot with more
power. 6

7. Monitoring Performance The importance of feedback
The feedback you receive from teacher/coach/partners as well as your own personal reflections on how you felt before and during a performance will often back up what your development process has told you.
You must be willing to take on board the feedback given and use it to help develop your performance further.

8. Evaluating performance
The evaluation of how effective your approaches to development have been should be a straightforward comparison between what your performance was before you started training and what it is after completing training:
Methods of evaluation:
Standardised Fitness Tests
Questionnaire
SCAT test
Scatter diagram (before and at end of program)
Observation schedule

9. Benefits of monitoring and evaluating
To help with your own motivation and desire to improve
To help with forward planning
To see whether the approaches you have used have been suitable, challenging and successful
To allow you to make changes to your approaches
To make comparisons
To see whether you have met your development needs
To help you identify future development needs
