A presentation given at Middlesex University's Annual Learning and Teaching Conference 2016: "Unpacking Teaching Excellence

1. Providing feedback in sport

2. • The influence of Sport What can sport offer ?
• Feedback in sport
• Role of Performance Analysis

3. • What can sport offer ?
Sporting competition can be seen as a microcosm of
life in general
Winners and losers
Deal with the consequences
Learn to cope with demands
Develop expertise
The circle of life

4.  Anders Ericsson and colleagues developed the
conceptual framework of deliberate practice to
explain the development of expertise in many
domains
 Purposeful practice to optimise improvement over 10
years (Simon and Chase, 1973)
 Individual differences are closely related to practice
regimes
 Many differences thought to be innate are due to
practice
 Simple engagement in deliberate practice is not
inherently motivating

5.  Intrinsic: knowledge about the performance
of a skill
 Compare what was done to what was supposed to
be done (Schema theory (Schmidt, 1977) and
motor programs)
 Extrinsic or Knowledge of Results
 Visual, Coach led, video based

6.  Research suggests that on average, athletes
and coaches can only recall 30% of
performance correctly – performance
analysis (PA) helps with the remaining 70%
(English Institute of Sport; 2012)

7.  Soccer Coach Recall of information = 42%
 Better accuracy for certain incidents of play
▪ Set Piece information was recalled more accurately than
any other.

10.  Performance Analysis (PA) is an objective way
of recording performance so that key elements
of that performance can be quantified in a valid
and consistent manner
(Hughes and Franks, 1997)
 PA attempts to minimise subjectivity and bias
in the coaching process

11.  To be truly ‘objective’ we need a set of rules
to ensure scientific rigor
 In PA these are referred to as Operational
Definitions
 If these definitions are created correctly our
analysis will be consistent

15. “By failing to prepare, you are
preparing to fail.”
Benjamin Franklin

24.  Most Key actions in individual sports rely on
biomechanical modeling.
 Using a ‘gold standard’ reference model to
aim towards
 Need to be aware of individual variation
