1. Whole part whole is a method of practicing a skill where the whole skill is practiced, then a part of the skill is isolated and practiced, before putting it back together into the whole skill again. 2. Gradual build up is a method where a complex skill is broken down into easier stages that are mastered one by one before moving on. 3. Feedback provides information to the performer about their performance and can be external (visual, verbal, written) or internal (how the action feels, knowledge of results).

5. Gradual build upA method of learning a complex skill progressively. Each part is mastered before another is attempted.Complex skills can be broken down into easier stagesDevelop confidence to perform whole skillEach stage is dependant on mastering the stage before

6. ExampleLay-upStage 1 – learning shot from one step and shootStage 2 – learning shot with two steps and shootStage 3 – learning the shot with one dribble, two steps and shootStage 4 – dribble two steps and shoot

8. Why use…Whole part wholeGradual build up

9. Feedback Feedback is information received by the performer about their performanceTypes of feedback…External;Visual VerbalWritten…

10. Feedback Internal; Action feels rightKnowledge of results

11. How do you use feedback?Lots/ little?Positive/ negative?Instant/ delayed?
