The document provides guidance for students on evaluating the effectiveness of their personal development plan in volleyball. It discusses evaluating different elements using the SOFITT acronym and focusing on frequency. Students are instructed to write a paragraph evaluating if the frequency they applied to their training was effective or not. The paragraph should include an identification of the element, a judgement providing details, and a value statement explaining the impact. Examples are provided to demonstrate the expected structure and content.

Today...
we are going to continue to evaluate elements of our PDP
using the SOFITT acronym.

Today we are going to evaluate a different area…
In today’s lesson we will consider the third principle and how it was applied
in our training and in turn whether we felt it was effective or not.
Therefore the ‘question’ we are answering today is:
Evaluate how effective frequency was applied in your training (1)
Let us evaluate how many times per week you trained and if this was of value
to you or not.

As we now know, when you are asked to evaluate you are being asked to
provide your opinion on whether something you have carried out was
effective or not.
Again, you should use the following structure for your answer…
Part 1 is your IDENTIFICATION. Here you must identify an element of your
plan that you are going to evaluate and state whether it was effective or
not.
Part 2 is your JUDGEMENT. This is quite similar to an example in a PEgI and
involves you providing details of the plan that you found effective or
ineffective.
Part 3 is your VALUE. This is where you explain the value this part of the
plan had or did not have on you. It is very similar to an impact in a PEgI
answer.

During my plan I feel that I effectively applied frequency to my training…

During my plan I feel that I did not effectively apply frequency in my training…

How do I IDENTIFY for the first part of my answer?
Example: During my plan I felt that training once a week was effective.
Frequency – once a week is the element of our plan we are going to
evaluate and we are going to talk positively about it because we have
identified it as effective.
Or
Example: During my plan I felt that training once a week was not
effective
Again, frequency – once a week is the element we are going to evaluate
but in this answer we have felt that this was not enoughas we have
stated it was not effective.

How do I provide JUDGEMENT for the second part of
my answer?
Example:
I trained once a week to improve my weakness (the dig). This was
partly due to the fact that I had 4 lessons of PE every week; two of
which were theory lessons and I used a third lesson to focus on my
‘one-off’ performance activity (dance). This meant I could dedicate one
lesson every week to focus on improving my dig.
Here I have provided some context to the approach by stating how I split
my P.E. lessons up, but ensured I said that this allowed me to focus on
improving my weakness once a week.

How do I provide VALUE for the last part of my answer?
Example: This was effective as it allowed me enough time to improve
the technique of my dig shot. I could see from my training diaries that
my number of successful repetitions improved to being able to play 5
out of 5 reps consistently. I was also having more success when playing
the dig in game situations. This would also mean that my motivation
levels would remain high as I can see improvements being made.
Here I have provided some value by stating that:
1. My technique has improved
2. My success rate has improved
3. My motivation remains high
4. Boredom
All (both) points confirm that training once a week was effective for me
because I was able to improve my dig to play it with the correct
technique, more success and more confidence.
This is all because the frequency of my training was enough to bring

Lets put the whole example together.
During my plan I feel that I effectively applied frequency to my training. i
I trained once a week to improve my weakness (the dig). This was partly
due to the fact that I had 4 lessons of PE every week; two of which were
theory lessons and I used a third lesson to focus on my ‘one-off’
performance activity (dance). This meant I could dedicate one lesson every
week to focus on improving my dig. j
This was effective as it allowed me enough time to improve the technique

Lets consider it from a different
perspective.
If you were of the opposite opinion and were using the ‘negative’ example
given in slide 6;
‘During my plan I feel that I did not effectively apply frequency in my training.’
You would need to consider the following:
WHY was training once a week not effective?:
- Did you see any (/ enough) improvements in your dig technique?
- Did you see any evidence in your training diary that your dig was
consistently more successful?
- Were you able to play the dig more successfully in game situations?
- Do you feel it was too long between sessions and that the progress you
had previously made was lost / forgotten?

Your Task:
Complete a paragraph evaluating the
effectiveness of FREQUENCY (use the
previous slides as support and complete
your identification, judgement and value
based on your experience).
