How do you answer a factors impacting on performance question?
- specific situation (include position, score, time in game)
- impact on performer (include buzz words)
- impact on performance (logical ending)
Impact of decision making on performance
S - being able to make good decisions has a positive impact on my trampoline performance. The day before a competition, I made the decision to perform 2 easier routines in the qualification round and then 2 harder routines if I made it into the final.
I - this meant I was more likely to perform my qualification routines successfully and therefore qualify myself into the final. Then for the final my more difficult routines, if completed successfully, would give me a good chance at placing in the top 3.
I - as a result I managed to qualify through to the final in 5th place and then move up to 2nd after completing my more difficult routines
Impact of motivation on performance
S - staying motivated has a positive impact on my trampoline performance in the 4 weeks between 2 competitions where the first one went badly.
I - because I wanted to do better at the next competition, I got back in the gym and started training harder
I - this resulted in me improving my skills and getting more consistent which lead to be performing much better in the next competition and managing to secure myself a place at the British championships
Impact of concentration on performance
S - having good concentration levels has a positive impact on my trampoline performance during a competition
I - this meant I was able to stay totally focussed on myself and block out all the other competitors performances and any noise around me.
I - as a result going in to my routine I was focussed so when performing my routine which contained somersaults with lots of twists I was able to stay completely focussed during the skill and therefore was able to complete the routine successfully.
Impact of anxiety on performance
S - being unable to control my anxiety has a negative impact on my performance during a big competition
I - before competing I become really nervous which caused my muscles to tense up
I - as a result I had a bad warm up of my routines which made me even more nervous for the actual competition. Therefore when it came to me doing my competition routine, I was so anxious and these that it caused me to fall on my first skill as I didn’t fully commit to it. This meant I scored very low and wasn’t able to qualify into the British championships
Impact of anger on performance
S - being unable to control my anger has a negative impact on my trampoline performance after falling in my first routine at the British championships
I - this caused me to become frustrated with myself as the fall was very uncharacteristic and could have been easily avoided
I - as a result, I knew I had to do well in second routine and put to much pressure on myself. This caused me to put too much effort into the first skill because of adrenaline leading to me having too much power and falling. I did not get the scores I needed to qualify through to the next round
Impact of fear on performance
S - a high level of fear has a negative impact on my trampoline performance when completing a new skill for the first time in a competition setting
I - this meant I was worried before competing the skill as I still wasn’t performing it consistently in training. I started to overthink how to do the skill
I - as a result when it came to doing it in my competition routine I didn’t fully commit to it which lead to me landing badly and hurting my ankle. I was then too scared to try the skill again in the future in training meaning I had to use lower difficulty and perform safer and easier skills at the next competition
Impact of confidence on performance
S - having a high level of confidence has a positive impact on my trampoline performance hen going into the British championships
I - this meant I was able to trust in my training as I knew I had worked hard and therefore believed in myself that I could do well
I - as a result when I was about to compete I can perform a fast run up to the trampoline which provides me with lots of power and height to perform the skills well and land on my feet. In the qualification round I managed to score well enough to get me through to the final round.
Impact of resilience on performance
S - resilient has a positive impact on my trampoline performance after falling in my first routine in a competition and scoring very low
I - because I didn’t give up, I tried my best to move on and forget about the fall before starting my routine as I knew I could do much better
I - as a result I had a clear positive head and was able to perform my second routine much better competing all 10 skills. I scored much higher which gave me a chance to qualify into the final round.
Impact of communication on performance
S - having good verbal communication has a positive impact on my netball performance while I was playing centre whilst my team was 11-10 up in the last 5 minutes of the game
I - because I was able to talk and communicate effectively with my teammates this meant I was able to call for the ball whenever I was in a space
I - as a result my teammates knew they could pass to me and we were able to make a successful pass without interception meaning our team kept possession and the lead in the final moments of the game
Impact on team dynamics on performance
S - having good team dynamics helped our netball team during a league match when I was playing centre while the score was 12-2 down after the first 2 quarters of the game.
I - during half time me and my teammates were able to work together effectively without blaming anyone for the current score and start deciding on some new tactics for the remainder of the game
I - as a result we were able to start the next 15 minutes of the game with a new, clear game plan which helped us score another 5 points as well as preventing the opposing team from scoring any
Impact of roles and responsibilities on performance
S - knowing my roles and responsibilities has a positive impact on my netball performance when I was playing wing attack, then the score was 15-12 up in the last quarter of the game
I - this meant I knew that my job as a wing attack was to get the ball into the shooting circle and that I wasn’t allowed in to defensive third of the court or the shooting circle
I - as a result I was able to help my team create scoring opportunities and never gave away my teams possession of the ball due to being offside. This meant we were able to keep our lead in the final 15 minutes of the game
Impact of agility on performance
S - being agile has a positive impact on my netball performance when playing centre in a league match while the score was 4-5 up going into the 2nd quarter of the game
I - this means I can change direction quickly and sidestep into spaces to create an option for my teammates to pass to me, when we are in possession of the ball
I - therefore I can get away my my markers and receive a pass will low pressure leading to me keeping possession for my team so we can keep trying to create scoring opportunities
Impact of speed on performance
S - having high levels of speed has a positive impact on my netball performance whilst playing centre in a league match, while the score was 6-7 down going into the last quarter of the game
I - this means that when my team are in possession I am able to quickly get into a space and get away from my markers
I - therefore I can call for a ball and successfully receive a pass without interception, keeping possession for my team. I can then start to help creating scoring opportunities my passing the ball towards a GA/GS.
Impact of CRE on performance
S - having low levels of CRE has a negative impact on my netball performance whilst playing centre in a league match, when the score was 14-12 up in the last 5 minutes of the game
I - because I started to fatigue towards the end of the game it meant I wasn’t able to keep up with the pace of the game and therefore couldn’t effectively man to man mark anymore
I - as a result my opponent was able to easily get into a space when their team is in possession as I am not there to put them under pressure and possibly intercept the pass. Therefore I am not able to gain possession of the ball for my team and am possibly risking our lead in the final moments of the game
Impact of accuracy on performance
S - being accurate has a positive impact on my netball performance when playing centre while the score was 8-6 up in going into the 3rd quarter of the game
I - this meant I was able to make precise passes to my teammates when we are in possession of the ball
I - as a result I can make consistently successful passes to my teammates without interception and therefore can help my team to create scoring opportunities by passing the ball towards attacking positions
What is the difference between factors impacting performance and factors impacting performance development?
Performance is how different factors impact you in a competition or match
Performance development is how different factors impact you at training
How do you answer a pinball question
S - which factor is impact on which other factor, name both factors, give specific example in sporting situation
I - how does factor 1 cause factor 2 to impact you as a performer
I - what is the outcome in performance? Show how factor 2 now impacts the result of this specific situation
Impact of team dynamics in performance development
- social factors have a positive impact on the development of the drop shot in badminton in a recent PDP
- during the reception practice, my partners good team dynamics helped me keep going and not give up
- in the beginning of the practice I was making lots of errors and missing the targets. My partner was encouraging me telling me “it’s okay” and “you can do this”
- this helped me to calm down and keep going, so by the end of the drill I was making successful drop shots into the target boosting my confidence and developing my performance
