Learning and understanding the methods used to gather information on the impact of mental, emotional, social and physical factors can help improve a performance.
Feedback can be given throughout a performance or at the end.
Feedback should be based around the targets that have been set. The coach will give specific feedback on what was performed correctly as well as ideas on ways to improve.
Using an experienced coach to give you feedback on key areas of your performance will allow you to gain a more reliable source of information, which can be used to adapt/alter your performance or set up a personal development plan.
Question
A coach needed feedback on how their team worked together during a performance. Describe the type of situation the coach would use feedback for and the types of feedback he could give.
During the football game, the coach gave the team feedback throughout their performance. He commented key points on support and working together throughout. During half time, he changed the team structure, which required them to work together in the back line.
Question
Why would this be a useful method to gather information?
Commentaries about how the team were working together occurred throughout the performance. This allowed them to really focus on the key areas of support. Improving support play created more options when a player was in possession. This created more opportunities that could build to attacking moves.
