Unit 11 - Skill Acquisition & Analysis
PEDAGOGY
Sport Pedagogy:
Concerned with learning, teaching and instruction in sport, physical education and related areas of physical activity
Types of Coaching
Command:
Teachers orders are followed, little student input.
Reciprocal:
Students coach each other. Independent participants led
Problem Solving:
Students go off and solve problems that will help their skills/techniques improve.
Traditional Pedagogy
Traditional pedagogy occurs through the simple transmission of fixed knowledge from coach to athlete.
Features of this Approach are:
Content Focused learning:
Uses drills to develop the skills of the sport
Through extensive drilling coaches strive to develop automatic responses that promote mindlessness when playing
Coach Led Learning:
Coach has full responsibility for what, how and when learning takes place.
Players provide little or no input to the coach, who makes most or all of the decisions.
Preferred approach of command-style coaches.
Non Linear Pedagogy
Occurs in a non-linear, unpredictable manner with coaches and athletes exploring a situation /problem/issue together.
Features of this Approach are:
High levels of connectivity between athletes and coaches:
Player-centered. (The coach creates a learning environment that focuses on the players’ needs using a variety of teaching methods).
Process-orientated learning:
Uses drills that are closely aligned with the game to teach technical and tactical skills.
Development of creative processes in athletes:
Practices are designed to develop the thinking, understanding, and decision-making skills that are
required to play well.
Ways Coaches Can Manipulate Task Constraints:
Newell’s (1986) constraints-led approach
Athlete Constraints:
Self Organisation
Movement Patterns
Cognition
Decision Making
Environmental Constraints:
Physical Factors (Light, noise, space, court surface etc..
Social Factors (Peer pressure, social & cultural expectations
Task Constraints:
The goal of the specific task
Rules on actions or conditions on tasks
Rules on the equipment used.
• Athlete Constraints
Students struggling with rules of rugby: Allow passes in all directions.
• Task Constraints
Girls are not as strong as boys: Girls throw lighter shot puts.
• Environmental Constraints
Players are crowding the football: Play small sided games (3v3), or games with wingers who must stay wide.
NOTATIONAL
ANALYSIS
Notational analysis
= the study of movement patterns, strategy and tactics in team sports. Successful patterns of play can be identified and used in subsequent matches
Reasons
for using notational analysis
providing an objective way of recording
performance
Making feedback from coach to performer easier and more precise
Quantifies performance in a consistent and reliable manner
Applications
of notation in physical education and sporting contexts
Tactical evaluation
- improve strategy by studying the tactics of future opponents
Technical evaluation
- identifying and diagnosing faults in technique in performance
Analysis of movement
- in sports such as football, tracking systems placed on players do this work for you (eg heat map on a specific player)
Development of databases and models
- enables predictive modelling which can enhance future training and performance
Educational use with teacher/coach and athlete (performance analysis)
- provides instant visual feedback to the performer, performance analysis provides coaches the athletes with information to help them understand their performance.
Phase analysis model
description
A sport movement, especially for ballistic actions such as hitting, throwing and kicking, generally contain four main phases: Preparation, retraction, action & follow through
Is sequential, based on the movement principles of the skill.
Performance outcome model
What are the 4 main principles the model addresses?
Speed, force, coordination & sport specific
Which activities is a Performance outcome model best suited to?
Athletic events, running, jumping, swimming, etc.
What does the performance outcome model analyse?
The factors the influence performance.
The model does NOT address aspects of technique directly, but focuses on the mechanical relationships that govern performance.
Digital technology in sports analysis
Motion caption & tracking devices (hawkeye and dartfish)
Performance analysis software (prozone)
Nutrition, fitness and training analysis software (bodybyte)
