Sophie Barnett and Corinne Sri-Widada are tae kwon do world champions from Kingsbridge who are trying to inspire others. Despite having no coordination and balance, Sophie took up tae kwon do six years ago and became world champion. Corinne hopes their success stories show that "if I can do it, you can too." They train 3 hours a week and more during competitions. Both credit their coach Lesley McGhie's passion and encouragement for their success. They want to inspire all skill levels and ages to participate in martial arts.
Sports play an important role in our lives by helping us stay healthy, fit, and successful. We participate in sports not just during physical education classes but also outside of school, with cycling and athletics being fun activities. The document provides biographical information about a Russian fencer, including their date of birth, education, sports club affiliation, coaches, family status, hobbies, and notable competitive results at the Olympics, Universiade, and World Championships.
The document outlines plans for a documentary profiling Elizabeth Watson, a young professional netball player from Melbourne. It will track her career path from amateur leagues to playing for the Melbourne Vixens and the Australian national team. The documentary aims to showcase her journey and bring more attention to women's sports, which are often overshadowed by male sports in Melbourne. It will also feature interviews with other young netballers to illustrate different pathways in the sport. Accompanying blog posts and social media will provide additional content and expand the audience.
This document provides definitions and key concepts for various topics related to skill acquisition and motor learning:
- Ability is a general capacity that is inherited through genes. Skill is the application of ability that is learned.
- Skill types include gross vs fine, self-paced vs externally-paced, discrete vs continuous vs serial, and closed vs open skills.
- Learning theories include operant conditioning, trial and error, reinforcement, and punishment. Information processing models input, perception, memory, decision making, and feedback.
- Motor programs and schema theory explain how movements are planned and adapted based on initial conditions, response specifications, and feedback.
- Stages of learning progress from cognitive to associ

It lists key terms related to these aspects and five sports/activities that will be studied through time: football, cricket, tennis, rowing, and association football. The document also includes a timeline with important dates in the history of these sports.
This document contains summaries of 14 notable sports figures and sporting events:
1. The Ashes cricket series between England and Australia since 1882.
2. American swimmer Gertrude Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel in 1926.
3. American sprinter Jesse Owens' victories at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
4. English cricketer W.G. Grace, considered one of the greatest players.
5. American swimmer Mark Spitz who won 7 gold medals at the 1972 Olympics.
6. English tennis player Fred Perry, the last British Wimbledon men's champion in 1936.
7. The 1968 Black Power salute by American athletes Tommie
The document provides an analysis of shot putt technique, asking whether the partner uses their fingertips on the shot, keeps the shot tucked into their chin, and points their elbow out. It then has the rater provide a rating from 1 to 5 on strength for each of the partner's throws.
Performance enhancing drugs like anabolic steroids, human growth hormone, erythropoietin, beta blockers, stimulants, and diuretics can provide advantages like increased muscle and strength, faster recovery, steady hands, and endurance, but often have serious health risks. Side effects range from acne and baldness to heart problems, stroke, seizures, and even death in rare cases. While some seek to gain a competitive edge, these substances are banned and dangerous.
The document discusses various types of deviance in sport including relative deviance, positive deviance, and negative deviance. It also examines causes of deviance such as lack of training and crowd mentality. The concept of a "contract to compete" is introduced which refers to an agreement by performers to play fairly and allow opportunities for others to demonstrate their skills. Forms of violence and hooliganism in sport are then analyzed as well as efforts to combat hooliganism. The use and implications of performance enhancing drugs is covered along with methods for fighting drug use in sport. Finally, the relationship between sport, performers, officials, and the law is briefly outlined.
1. There are four main energy systems that produce ATP in the body: ATP-PC system, lactic acid system, aerobic system, and high-intensity system.
2. The ATP-PC system produces ATP quickly through phosphocreatine breakdown and is used for intense bursts under 10 seconds.
3. The lactic acid system produces ATP through anaerobic glycolysis but also produces lactic acid, limiting its duration to 1-2 minutes.
4. The aerobic system produces the most ATP over long durations through aerobic breakdown of carbohydrates and fats in the mitochondria.
The document discusses the relationship between sport, media, and sponsorship, noting how they rely on each other through television rights, advertising, and promotion. It examines the reasons for and benefits of sponsorship for various groups, as well as some disadvantages, and how technology, commercialization, and the media have changed and impacted sports over time.
This document describes 5 different performance curves: linear, positive acceleration, negative acceleration, S-shaped, and plateau. Each curve represents how athletic performance in a sport can improve with increased trials or training over time. For example, a sprinter may see positive acceleration curve gains, while a weightlifter's progress could plateau.
This document provides a table for classifying various skills along continua from gross motor skills to fine motor skills. It asks the reader to place 10 different skills - such as a basketball lay-up shot, throwing a dart, a spin bowler's wrist action in cricket, and a gymnast's beam routine - into one of the continua columns and provide a justification for each decision. The goal is to determine whether each example involves larger or smaller muscle movements and place them on the appropriate point of the motor skills spectrum.
Muscles contract in different ways to move and stabilize the body. Prime movers or agonists are muscles that cause joints to bend or flex, while antagonists cause joints to straighten or extend and hold positions. Fixators work with agonists to maintain body position for movement, and synergists shorten to aid joint motion along with agonists. Isometric contractions occur when muscle length stays the same against resistance. During concentric contractions muscles shorten to move joints, like in bicep curls, while eccentric contractions lengthen under load, such as when lowering a weight.
We provide feedback to help improve performance, give guidance on how to do better next time, and recognize achievements. The appropriate type of feedback depends on the situation, with beginners benefitting most from continuous, intrinsic feedback while competitors may need terminal, extrinsic feedback or positive reinforcement of success. Feedback after a loss should be negative but aim to boost motivation rather than criticize ability.
This document discusses role models in sports. It defines a role model as someone others look up to and aspire to emulate. Good role models compete fairly, inspire others, perform well, set trends, shape attitudes, and are accessible representatives. However, role models also face pressure from media scrutiny, targeting, commercial interests, and expectations to promote their sport. Bad role models demonstrate drug abuse, aggression, cheating, misplaced loyalties, and misconduct outside of sports like drugs, adultery, and avoiding accountability. Specific poor examples mentioned include the Twickenham blood gate scandal, John Terry's racism, the Pakistani cricket team controversies, and Paul Gascoigne's addictions. Role models can positively influence both athletic performance and
Procedures promote health and safety in sports environments by establishing guidelines for staff training, risk assessment, emergency response, and facility maintenance. Examples of important procedures include staff training programs, risk assessments, emergency operation protocols for injuries or hazards, and regular safety inspections of facilities. Maintaining up-to-date procedures, providing staff training, and conducting risk assessments helps ensure the safety of participants and employees.
This document provides a checklist for editing and checking work. It outlines 7 criteria for evaluating procedures, including defining procedures, including 3 procedures, describing and explaining the procedures with details, and including examples. It also lists 6 criteria for evaluating the layout, such as using simple slides with plain backgrounds, the same font and boxes, putting information in the notes section rather than on slides, and checking spelling and grammar.
The document outlines the key responsibilities of employers and employees under the UK's Health and Safety at Work Act from 1974. It describes how the main aims of the act are to protect the health, safety and welfare of workers. Employers are responsible for providing a safe work environment and equipment, training, and managing health and safety. Employees must take reasonable care of their own and others' health and safety, cooperate with employers, and not misuse equipment. Inspectors can enforce the law by issuing notices or prosecuting those not complying with regulations.
This document outlines a risk assessment template for activities. It includes columns to list the activity, date, location and staff involved. It also includes columns to identify hazards, associated risks, control measures to mitigate risks, and a severity and likelihood rating of any risks. The template is used to plan for safety and identify risks for activities.

1. Womenare the biggest
thing to happen to football
in last ten years
On the ball ... Sun writer at coaching course
IN a frantic whisper to a fellow student, I ask: "Who the hell is David Moyes?"
It's Day One of my journey to becoming an FA football coach and I can't believe
I'm faltering at the first hurdle - a quiz to test my Premier League knowledge.
But I'm swiftly bailed out by experienced player Gemma Baker, who informs me:
"He's the Everton manager. Everyone knows that."
Everyone except me. You may wonder what a clueless 36-year-old single mum is
doing attempting to become the next Alex Ferguson.
It's precisely because I AM such a person that I've enrolled on the Football
Association's Level 1 Coaching Course - along with thousands of other women
nationwide.
Despite my lifelong aversion to footie fever, my eight-year-old son Daniel is
obsessed.
2. Sexism row ... top lineswoman Sian Massey
So I found myself joining local club Fulham and waving a black and white scarf
around like a lunatic every other Saturday at the Cottage.
On Sundays I stood alongside devoted dads during junior league matches.
And after four seasons I invested in a pair of Adidas Predators and started
practising keepie-uppies. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
And with the exception of near-extinct dinosaurs such as Andy Gray and Richard
Keys, most people know that thousands of other women are doing just that.
There has been a seismic shift on the pitch in recent years. The England
women's football team have achieved more than the toothless Lions of late.
3. They reached the last eight in the World Cup in 2007, were runners-up in the
2009 Women's Euros and this summer will head to Germany for the World Cup
finals.
The FA is investing £3million setting up a Women's Super League this month. An
elite league of eight teams will have their games broadcast on TV sports network
ESPN.
Huge changes are happening on the side of the pitch too. In 2007, there were
11,335 women's coaches at Level 1-5 in the FA ranks. Now there are more than
23,000.
Yet women are a long way from being accepted despite role models such as
West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady, referee's assistant Sian Massey and the
BBC's Jacqui Oatley, an FA-qualified coach who became the first female
commentator on Match Of The Day.
Like it or not, footie mums are on the march to a club near you.
And so I begin my coaching career under the tutorship of Somerset FA coach Ian
Thompson, or "Tommo". The Man U fan has been coaching at clubs including
Bristol City, Bristol Rovers and Portsmouth for 24 years.
Back to school ... Sun woman Sharon with Somerset FA coach Ian Thompson
Tommo, 56, says: "Women are the biggest thing to happen to this game in the
last ten years and people who really understand football understand that. That's
why the joke was really on Gray and Keys when they made those comments.
"Women are becoming skilled in all aspects and at all levels of the game now.
There is nothing to stop women coaches reaching the Premier League."
Tommo is a great teacher with great one-liners such as: "The mind is the greatest
athlete".
4. I'm not sure how that applies to the likes of Wayne Rooney but I'm hooked on his
pearls of wisdom.
And over the next two weeks on the female-only course he shows me and 16
other budding coaches how to deliver the perfect training session.
Skills set ... our woman Sharon practising
The key is to make each technically challenging, age-appropriate and full of fun
to give children aged five to 11 a lifelong love of the game. Old-school techniques
such as punishing poor training with press-ups and verbal humiliation are banned
by the FA and there is a lot of focus on the much-talked about Respect
campaign.
It encourages coaches to report touchline parents who scream abusive
instructions at their children and refs or coaches who bark orders at young
players.
The next part of the course - The Practical - sees me and fellow rookie coach
Julie Peet go through header, volley and striking drills then give a coaching
session in front of Tommo and the other students.
We are given a sprinting/dribbling drill and amazingly pass.
5. Like me, Julie enrolled on the course to get more involved with her children -
Owen, seven, and Martha, nine.
The 42-year-old accounts clerk from Frome, Somerset, adds: "When I was
younger, girls' football wasn't a big thing but I wish it had been. It really is the
Beautiful Game when it's played well."
"Two weeks ago, I would never have believed I could do this but I've been
inspired by this course. I'm proud to say I'm a football coach and I'm going back
to our club to volunteer with some sessions and start a girls' team."
Liverpool supporter Sarah Davis, 33, runs a Little Kickers toddlers football group
at Longleat Center Parcs in Wiltshire and is club secretary for Frome Town
Youth.
Mum to Bethan, six, and Emma, three, she says: "They love playing football so I
wanted to do the course for them as well as to gain more experience generally
and hold my own among the men."
'Dinosaurs' ... sacked Sky Sports duo Andy Gray (left) and Richard Keys (right)
LFI
There are also women on the course determined to make a career out of
coaching. Gemma (my saviour in the quiz) is the student liaison officer at
Bridgwater College, in Somerset. The 28-year-old has been playing since she
was eight and is currently a striker for Cleeve West Town.
She explains: "I've had some great coaches so for me to become a coach is a
way of giving something back."
Thanks to Tommo I passed the course with flying colours. Perhaps my greatest
reward was hearing my son proudly tell a friend: "My mum used to be a writer but
now she's a footballer."
