3. FACTORS THAT CAN IMPACT UPON MY PERFORMANCE IN PE
PHYSICAL (fitness, skills or tactics)
MENTAL
SOCIAL
EMOTIONAL

4. Examples of PHYSCIAL (skill) factors
In softball…
Batting, Throwing, Catching.
In hockey…
Passing, Shooting, Tackling.
In badminton…
Serve, Overhead clear, Smash.

5. How physical (skill) factors might impact upon your performance in PE…
An example of a physical skill factor that impacts upon my performance in softball is throwing. This has a positive impact on my performance, because I can throw accurately to my team mates who are on the bases. This makes it easy to put players in the other team out.
An example of a physical skill factor that impacts upon my performance in badminton is my smash. This has a negative effect on my performance, because I struggle to play this powerful shot. This means that it is easy for my opponent to return my shots as they aren’t powerful and I don’t often win points against her.

6. Question 1
Give an example of a physical (skill) factor and say how it effects your performance.

7. How I collected information on my PHYSICAL (skill) factor
SCATTER DIAGRAM
This is a sheet of paper with a picture of the softball field.
My teacher watched me batting in my game of softball.
Every time I hit a fly ball (high in the air) she marked an ‘O’ on the paper where it landed.
Every time I hit a ground ball (along the ground) she marked an ‘X’ on the paper where it was stopped.
Every time I missed the ball she marked an ‘M’ behind home base.

8. Why I chose to use a scatter diagram to collect information on my physical (skill) factor, batting…
It gives me a permanent record of my batting. This means I can do another scatter diagram after I have practiced, then compare the two to see if I have improved.
It is quick and easy and cheap to do. I only need a pen and one sheet of paper. This means it doesn’t take time away from my practicing.
It is also quick and easy to read. At a glance I can get an idea of the strengths and weaknesses in my batting.
It gives reliable, quantitative information on the accuracy of my batting.

9. Question 2
What does the scatter diagram bellow tell you about this pupils batting in softball?

10. Approaches to developing my PHYSICAL (skill) factor
GRADUAL BUILDUP
Gradual build up is used to learn a new skill. It is good for learning complex or dangerous skills because the skill is learned in stages, with each stage becoming progressively more difficult. This means you can master part of the skill and become confident before moving on to a more difficult stage.
EXAMPLE, SOFTBALL - BATTING
Shadow practice.
Batting using a stationary ball on a tee.
Batting with my partner pitching a moving ball to me.
Batting with a faster pitch and a faster swing to generate power.
Focusing on direction, hitting the ball early (in front of me) so that it goes to the right.
Hitting the ball in line with my body so that it goes straight in front of me.
Hitting the ball late (behind me) so that it goes to the left.

11. Examples of PHYSICAL (tactical) factors
In badminton…
Depth in attack, Width in defence.
In basketball…
Width in attack, Depth in defence.
In netball…
Individual or team strengths and weaknesses.

12. How physical (tactical) factors might impact upon your performance in PE…
An example of a physical tactical factor that impacts upon my performance in badminton is width in defence. This has a positive impact on my performance, because when I play double with my partner I cover the left and she covers the right or vice versa. This makes it hard for our opponents to score points against us as we have both sides covered.
An example of a physical tactical factor that impacts upon my performance in netball is my team strengths and weaknesses. This has a positive effect on our performance, because our CRE is a strength so we used man-to-man defence. This means that it is hard for our opponents to create space as we didn’t give them any space when we were marking them even towards the end as we didn’t get too tired.

13. Question 3
Give an example of a physical (tactical) factor and say how it effects your performance.

14. How I collected information on my PHYSICAL (tactical) factor
KNOWLEDGE OF RESULTS
This is scores or results.
For example:
final score of my badminton match.
the number of times the softball landed in my target area when I was aiming to the right.
my time in athletics for my 100m race.
TEACHER / PEER FEEDBACK
(KNOWLEDGE OF PERFORMANCE)
This is where my teacher or my partner tells me information about my performance.
My teacher said that when me and my partner were using depth in attack in badminton, I was too far back, this means that we missed shuttles that were played to the front of the court and lost a point.
In softball, my team mate said to me that I need to transfer my weight more so that the ball goes further when I hit it.

15. Why I chose to use a knowledge of results to collect information on my physical (tactics).
This is statistical, factual and accurate information on my performance. As it is not somebody’s opinion on how I performed I can fully rely on it.
It gives me a permanent record of how I performed against my opponent, this means that when I play the same opponent again I can compare my two performances to see whether I have improved.
It is quick and easy to see my score and I don’t have to spend a long time analysing data.

16. Why I chose to use teacher feedback to collect information on my physical (tactics).
Because my teacher can tell me what I am doing well and what I need to change to make my performance better while I am performing, this means that I can make the changes straight away rather than practicing the wrong thing and waiting until next lesson.
Because a teacher will have good knowledge of the activities that we do in PE therefore I can rely on what they tell me.
My teacher can give me specific and detailed feedback about what I am doing in my performance. For example they will be able to see my body position and whether I need to make changes of not.

17. Approaches to Developing my Physical (tactics)
Opposed/Unopposed Practices
I practiced using depth in attack by doing target practices for my net shot and for my overhead clear.

18. Examples of SOCIAL factors
Cooperation
Team Work
Fair Play
Communication

19. Question 4 Which social factors effect your performance in hockey?
Give at least one example of a factor that has a positive effect of your game and one example that has a negative effect on your game.

20. Approaches to Developing my Social Factors
Partner/Group Work
I began working with a partner, passing and receiving.
I then worked in a group of 3, doing a 3 man weave.
I then worked in a group of 3 against 1 opponent.
I then worked in a group of 3 against 2 opponents.
I then worked in a group of 3 against 3 opponents.

21. Use of Role Models
During our small sided game we stopped and watched the best team in our class to see how they worked together. We then tried to copy what they did.
We also listened to what our teacher was telling us and the shouts that she was making when we were playing, we then tried to make similar shouts and tried communicate more with each other during our games.
We also watched a video clip of professional hockey players. This showed us how to work together, for example if there was already a player with the ball the others would use the whole pitch and find a space to receive a good pass.

22. Why I chose these approaches to develop my performance
I used partner/group work because…
It is similar to what I will have to do in my game, I will have to work with and communicate with others.
Practicing working with others that I play with in my game makes me more confident at working and communicating with them.
Working along side my peers/team mates motivates me to keep going instead rather than training on my own.
I used role models because…
It gave me a clear picture, that could see, of what a successful performance would be.
Having this picture in my head means that I can close my eyes for a second in the warm up or at half time in my game to remember exactly what I should be doing.
Having this picture in my head also helped motivate towards achieving this successful performance.

23. Question 5 A) Which social factor was your weakness?
B) Which approach did you use to develop this weakness? Describe this approach is as much detail as you can.
C) Why did you choose to use this approach?
