• We would request that you prepare a 10-15 minute powerpoint presentation that provides an overview of your applied support to athletes, identifying examples of good practice. I would also like you to identify the technologies with which you are competent and suggest how you would apply your skills to inform the needs of one of the following sports (any discipline in athletics, squash, table tennis, fencing, swimming)

Technology Capability Overview• Dartfish

- Coding, athlete naming, databasing- Qualitative and Quantitative measures

- Annotations, audio, timers, angles, ovelays, moisac- Dartfish Express

• Dartfish TV- Document sharing– Online collaboration– Varying access

• Sports Code• Sportscode Stream• Green Eye (Swimming Australia)

– Training and Race profiling• Gpsport- Setup• Thought Technology- Coach feedback, deep breathing technique athletes• Online databasing Technologies• Training Centre Development- Various Industries• Mac, PC, Mobile Devices

Applied Support Overview• Integration of wireless microphones with coded video footage in

football matches.• Split Screen footage: Coaches boat and on board integrated with

microphones.• Creation of imagery mp3 files for Athlete Ipods.• Coach analysis: coded footage analysis coaching style behaviours• Athlete body language/attitude analysis• Online, portable device dynamic warm-up and stretching videos

(Hockey/Netball)• Live feedback in the gym• Analysis of sailing race to help determine best practice conditioning• Collection of game statistics to help develop conditioning program

Positive Performance Cycle• Learning about Athlete• Identification of needs• Technology for Environment/Needs• Procedures for Performance Environment• Delivery of outcomes

Learning about the athlete• VTS- Psychomotor testing• Fitness test results• Game results and player statistics• Medical and Injury data• Strength & Conditioning programs• Personal bests• Periodisation and yearly plans• Training schedules

Identification of Needs

• Communication to determine Service outcomes:– Coaching Staff– Service providers– Athletes learning style

Performance Environment Technology• IP cameras- Set to central location always recording • Matrix Switchers/ Presets• Ipads with Dartfish express, tagging, databasing such

as smatabase to collect relevant data.• Smartboards for live replay and coaching• Dartfish laptop for in the action and regular analysis

( Future development with smartabase for swimming)• GreenEye software for race profiling and training

camps

Performance Environment Procedures

• What will be analysed?• Who's role to capture data?• What camps/Competition will need to be

covered?• Training Analysis, When , Where , How?

Delivery of outcomes

• Coach Team sessions• Athlete sessions- VTS – Delivery medium• Online and LAN Network• Better you get to know athletes/Coach more outcomes

occur

We are not in a position in which we have nothing to work with. We already have capacities, talents, direction, missions, and callings.

Abraham MaslowA founder of positive and motivational psychology

PAs must be motivators• It is not always enough to be knowledgeable about a

Performance Analysis. You also have to be able to motivate and relate.

• By tapping into this important human characteristic a PA becomes a person who leads and inspires throughout the learning process to create a desired outcome.

• Driving Example

Personable Skills• Ability to work with all ages of people• Ability to adapt to various situations and apply my skills

to any environment.• Coaching people how to drive whilst dealing with

stressful situations, ability to identify when people are stressed.

• Using the sandwich technique for feedback• Coaching skills, short and concise• Understanding of Learning styles• Attention

Example delivery outcomes• Split cam underwater

camera• Integrated force plate

data• Heart rate data

integration• Stroke count• Velocity• Split Times

• Dive length• Reaction time• Optimum angle of take

off dive• Turn time• Underwater analysis

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY DASHBOARD

• SMARTABASE’s most popular online reports module

• Just like the dashboard of a car, all key data is represented– Most recent results for key data areas

– Colour coded performance standards

– Time since last test

– Change status – usingpowerful performancealgorythms

– Top down approach – all linked to actual dataforms
