Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    Why do coaches observe and analyse performance?

    Model answer

    Analysis identifies strengths and weaknesses. The coach can then plan training to improve performance.

  2. 2

    What are the limitations of real-time observation?

    Model answer

    A coach cannot see or remember everything in a fast game. Emotion and bias can distort judgement.

  3. 3

    Why is technology needed for performance analysis?

    Model answer

    Technology records performance so it can be replayed and measured. Analysis becomes more accurate and objective.

  4. 4

    What is qualitative analysis?

    Model answer

    Qualitative analysis describes the quality of a performance. A coach judges technique against a model of the skill.

  5. 5

    What is quantitative analysis?

    Model answer

    Quantitative analysis measures performance with numbers. Pass completion rates and sprint times are examples.

  6. 6

    What are the four aspects of performance a coach can analyse?

    Model answer

    A coach can analyse physical, technical, tactical and behavioural aspects of performance.
