A-Level PE Evaluation and Analysis of Performance for Improvement (EAPI)

To Start…. From your observation of a clip of Youtube or live performance, you should now discuss your findings with a partner. • Using that performance: • Highlight strengths of any the skills that you observed (min x 3) • Highlight weaknesses of any of the skills that you observed (min x 3) • Highlight strengths of the tactics that you observed (min x 3) • Highlight weaknesses of the tactics that you observed (min x 3) This should last approximately 4 mins!

Introduction and Overview Quality of the range of acquired skills being performed (strengths and weaknesses) Appropriateness and application of strategies and tactics / compositional ideas (strengths and weaknesses) The use of physical attributes during performance The overall effectiveness and success of the performance, and identification of major weakness Creating a development plan for improvement of the major weakness, justifying the plan In 15 minutes!

Physical Attributes (Fitness) Speed Agility Reaction Time Coordination Strength Power Fitness Components Balance (Dynamic / Static) Flexibility Muscular Endurance Aerobic Endurance

Physical Attribute in your chosen sport Speed Why is that physical attribute needed (think of advantages or disadvantages) • Speed is required for: • Acceleration • Recovery • Gaining advantages over opponents • To react fastest Strengths of my own physical attribute in my sport Weaknesses of my own physical attribute in my sport

Overall Effectiveness / Success and Identifying Weaknesses Look at the skills, tactics and physical attributes strengths and weaknesses you have discussed What was effective? What was successful? Identify what you think is the biggest (and most important) weakness

Factors you MUST Explain First… You must highlight aims and a time-frame for your training programme. As a general rule: • To improve skills – 8 -10 weeks • To improve components of fitness – 8 -10 weeks • To improve tactics – 8 weeks Always start the training programme section with your intended time frame – think about how many sessions per week and how long the sessions are.

Assessment! The assessor is looking for: • Why it is appropriate to spend this much time on improving this one area • Frequency, duration and focus of the sessions • Detailed progressive practices • Detailed coaching points • Potential adaptations to the action plan dependent on progress • How improvement can be measured and is continually measured

Planning • You then need to actually plan your training programme! • The examiner will look for the principles of training being applied to your plan – SPORT, FITT, WIMP • Remember you can state that your performer may already be training three times a week, so this programme could add to this • Don’t forget to test before and after the programme – how will you know that they have improved? • Think about SMART goal setting too • Lastly – you MUST be able to talk about this – no showing of diagrams. Practice this!

Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Session 1: Session 2: Detailed Practices Session 2: (FITT, MRS VOPP Testing WC) Justification (Psychological and Physiological) Evaluation Period Method of testing: Short-term Physiological adaptations that may have occurred? Psychological Changes?

Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Session 1: Session 2: Session 3: Detailed Practices Session 2: (FITT, MRS VOPP Testing Session 3: WC) Justification (Psychological and Physiological) Evaluation Period Method of final testing: Long-term Physiological adaptations that may have occurred? Psychological Changes?

For Next Week…. Again, using an observation of an amateur performance you have seen… Highlight strengths of any the skills that you observed (min x 3) Highlight weaknesses of any of the skills that you observed (min x 3) Highlight strengths of the tactics that you observed (min x 3) Highlight weaknesses of the tactics that you observed (min x 3) Highlight strengths of the fitness components that you observed (min x 3) • Highlight weaknesses of the fitness components that you observed (min x 3) • Finally, create an Action Plan to improve the biggest weakness that you have observed! This should last approximately 6 -7 mins! • • •

Fitness component in your chosen sport Why is that fitness component needed (think of advantages or disadvantages) Strengths of my own component in my sport Weaknesses of my own component in my sport

Biggest Identified Weakness How Long would you need to improve this weakness (3 weeks min, 6 weeks max. ) Specific Coaching Practices (how will you progress the training? ) Coaching Points (how can you teach a specific skill in any drills you have chosen? )
