Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What are the main stages of the coaching process?
Model answer
The coach observes the performance and analyses it against a model or target. The coach then gives feedback and plans practice before evaluating again.
- 2
Why do coaches observe and analyse performance?
Model answer
Analysis identifies a performer's strengths and weaknesses. The coach can then base feedback, goals and training plans on the findings.
- 3
How can performance analysis help a coach prepare for an opponent?
Model answer
Analysis of an opponent's previous matches reveals their tactics and patterns of play. The coach can then build a game plan that targets their weaknesses.
- 4
Why is real-time observation alone an unreliable way to analyse performance?
Model answer
A coach can only watch a small part of the action at once. Human memory is limited and recalls only a fraction of the key events.
- 5
How can a coach's emotions and expectations distort real-time observation?
Model answer
A coach may see what they expect or hope to see. Emotional involvement in the result can bias the judgement.
- 6
Why has technology become central to performance analysis?
Model answer
Technology records performance for replay, slow motion and measurement. Analysis becomes more accurate and more objective.
