Choice of tackle effect on performance
side on tackle showed good awareness of how to best stop the opposition while they were side on. Reduced the amount of ground that the opposition could make.
choice of tackle application to theory
High self efficacy, ZOF, peak flow + more detail form textbook.

Breakdown commitment application to theory
Can be identified that the performer is most likely in the associative phase of learning due to them making the correct decisions. They could progress to the autonomous phase if they were to use NGB websites to get higher level coaching points as well as attending academy open days.
Defensive line effect on performance
