Skills and Techniques
In this area we will look at concepts surrounding skills and skilled performance. The analysis of skill and the development of skill.
WHAT IS A SKILL?
“ …a movement with a purpose…”
Skills can be categorised by a number of features and due to their nature can be difficult to identify an exact classification. However, all skills can be placed on the following continuums -
Simple and Complex Skills
SIMPLE (Chest pass) COMPLEX (Tumble turn)
This describes the number of subroutines within certain skills – if there is 1 movement they are ‘simple’ and if the skill requires a series of linked movements they are described as ‘complex’.
Simple and Complex Skills
Try and think of as many simple and complex skills as you can. Place them under the headings:
Simple Complex
Open and Closed Skills
OPEN (Rugby tackle) CLOSED (Headstand)
Unpredictable Predictable
This describes the movement patterns – if they are always identical its is a ‘closed skill’. If they change due to the nature of
performance they are ‘open skills’
Write 2 headings in your jotter like this:
Closed Skills Open Skills
Now decide which skills below under which heading…Hockey dribble
Smash in Badminton
Pass in RugbyForward Roll
Handstand Rugby Scrum
Dive in SwimmingHigh Jump
Tennis ServePutt in Golf
Drive in Golf
DISCRETE (Forward roll) SERIAL
(Running)
This describes how easily you can identify a ‘start’ and ‘finishing’ point in a given skill.
What is a Technique?
“ …the way in which a skill is performed or executed…”
Technique describes the way in which a skill is performed, it is descriptive and gives more information on the performance.

Information processing
Understanding how a skilled performance can be used to develop performance e.g.;
Ability to select the correct options to cope with various performance demands.
One way of doing this is called the ‘information processing model’
Information Processing
The information processing model has four parts that are linked together in a loop.
