| A | B |
| PDP | Personal Development Plan |
| strength in badminton | my smash is fast and lands at my opponents feet |
| development need in badminton | my clear doesn't reach the back of my opponents court |
| shadow | used for beginners to develop footwork and movement skills in isolation |
| repetition drill | to repeat a skill over and over to increase consistency |
| target practice | to develop accuracy in a shot |
| conditioned game | used to develop ceratin skills in game like situations |
| SROS | stroke repertoire observation schedule |
| video analysis | I was part of a group of three people. One player repeatedly fed the shuttle for me to hit overhead clears/smashes. A third player videoed my performance and I then compared it against the success criteria gained from watching a model. I identified parts of my action that were strengths and the parts that needed improvement. |
| Focused observation schedule | I was part of a group of three people. One player repeatedly fed the shuttle for me to hit overhead clears/smashes. The third person assessed my performance against criteria gained from watching a model performer. The skill has been broken down into separate parts and the observer noted strengths and weaknesses within the action. |
| Fitness tests | Cooper test a course was set up in the gameshall, 6 cones set up in 10 metre intervals in a rectangular formation. Each lap was 60 metres. We worked in 2s, one person did the test the other counted laps. The roles were then reversed. |
| negative physical factor | Towards the end of the game players in our team were getting tired so we could not jump as high to block or hit and we could not cover the court as quickly as before. This meant our opponents could find space on our side of the court more easily and our attacks were not as effective. |
| positive physical factor | My speed allowed me to move quickly around the court and to adapt to different shots my opponents played. Moving quickly allowed me time to get to the correct position to get ready to play the next shot. Moving quickly from the front of the court to the back gave me more time and more options in which shot I could play. |
| negative mental factor | . During long rallies poor concentration led to poor decision making and poor shot selection. I made a lot of simple errors through lack of concentration. This happened when I served into the net immediately giving the point to my opponent. |
| positive mental factor | Confidence is required in basketball when taking free throws. You need to visualise the ball going into the basket and push out any negative thoughts. It is also important to take retain your confidence when the game is close and near the end of the game. I need to keep believing I am going to score and take the shot on when you are free. |
| positive social factor | As a member of my team for quite some time, I know my teammates well and many have become my friends off the court. The positive relationships mean that we bring out the best in each other on the court, knowing each other’s strengths, playing for each other with confidence, supporting, encouraging and pushing each other to play at our best against all of our opponents. |
| negative social factor | Our training and games at “home” are always on our artificial surface outdoors. On this smooth surface the ball rolls quickly, bounces high and is not really affected by bumps and holes on the surface. However when we play away from home on grass or ash/blaize surface, we find this difficult to cope with. The ball “behaves” differently and our dribbling and passing is not effective as it needs to be. This tended to have a negative effect on our performance |
| team talks | at the end of the game as a team we discussed how we felt the game had gone |
| teacher feedback | the teacher told me my overhead clear was more effective today as it was now going nearer to the back of my opponents court |
| peer feedback | my partner told me my smash was better today as it was now going faster towards his feet |
