Transcript Explain the strengths and weaknesses of the performer in terms of

AS PE
Evaluation and Planning
for Improvement of
Performance
Your chance to tell us all you
know about your chosen sport!
You are assessed in your ability to:

Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a
performance

Create a viable action plan to improve the
main weakness of the performance

Discuss the opportunities for participation
and progression

Discuss the health and fitness benefits of the
activity.

You will observe a performance of another
student in one of your chosen activities

You will make an oral response to that
performance

When observing the performance you will be
permitted to make notes, however you can
NOT come with pre-prepared notes

The following slides highlight the areas you
should cover and the order they should be
discussed

Compare the skills you are observing against a
technically correct model (so know what this looks
like!)

Focus on the PREPARATION, EXECUTION, and
RECOVERY of the movement (PER)

You must explain what makes it a strength

So you must know skills important to your chosen
activity (build up a resource pack!)
Explain the strengths and weaknesses
of the performer in terms of:
Skills

Remember:

If the performer can execute skills
successfully under pressure then this is a
strength

If they produce a poor performance under
pressure then this is a weakness.
Explain the strengths and weaknesses
of the performer in terms of:
Skills

How does the performer try to influence
the performance through their tactics,
strategies and compositional ideas?

Are they influential on the group/team
dynamics?

Can they make decisions quickly?
Explain the strengths and weaknesses
of the performer in terms of:
Tactics and Composition

Remember:

If the performer is very aware of what is
going on and can make quick decisions that
affect the outcome this is a strength

If they look to others for decisions and are
not influential, then this is a weakness
Explain the strengths and weaknesses
of the performer in terms of:
Tactics and Composition

Identify the physical and skill related
components of fitness that are relevant to
your sport / or that particular
position/event etc.

How does the performer meet these
requirements?
Explain the strengths and weaknesses
of the performer in terms of:
Fitness

Remember:

If a performer’s performance benefits from
their level of fitness then it is a strength

If the level of fitness limits their
performance then it is a weakness
Explain the strengths and weaknesses
of the performer in terms of:
Fitness
To keep it logical and clear in your
head:

Explain the strengths first

Then explain the weaknesses

You should try to identify 3 strengths and 3
weaknesses in each of the areas
highlighted (skills/tactics/fitness)

That totals to 9 strengths and 9
weaknesses!
REMEMBER:

You can only talk about strengths and
weaknesses you have seen ‘live’, you
cannot refer to previous knowledge you
may have about the performer.

After discussing the strengths and weaknesses of
the performer you need to

PRIORITISE a weakness - Just ONE!

Which of the major weaknesses should be
addressed FIRST?

If you choose a fitness component DON’T choose
CV endurance.
How can you tell they lack stamina from watching
for 5 minutes!
DON’T choose tactics/compositional ideas – its
hard!
CHOOSE a SKILL!

Time bound

Use standardised test if choosing a fitness
component.
How will you test a skill?

GOAL

Identify:


Overall duration of training programme
(i.e. 6 weeks)


Length of individual training sessions
(i.e. 2 hours)


Frequency of the sessions
(i.e. 3x a week)
TIMESCALE

Spell out EXACTLY what you are going to
do to correct that major weakness
Use diagrams to help you explain practices.

Progression is key – you must show this

Individual skill – relate to the ‘phases of
learning’

Fitness component – relate to the training
principles ‘SPORT’

PROGRESSIVE PRACTICES

Remember:

For a skill progress through 5 drills as
you move through the phases of learning
and include a conditioned game situation
Relate to practice methods / conditions!


For a fitness component detail the
exercises you plan to use
(distance,time,weight) & remember the
standardised test!
PROGRESSIVE PRACTICES

For each practice you must identify
major coaching points your performer
should be focusing on.

Ensure you progress these with your
practices.

If you built up a resource pack of ‘core
skills’ then you will know what these
should be!

gender, ethnicity – reasons for this?
Opportunities for Participation &
Progression

Remember:

Link to the performer you are watching

What are the provisions for them and how
could they progress in the activity?
