Review of Skills and Techniques test

(a) Describe one method you used to collect data about your whole performance. 4 marks

I played a game of full court singles up to 21 points I played against an opponent of similar ability A class mate with a good knowledge of badminton watched only

my play At the same time he/she filled in a Match Analysis sheet Describe the sheet and draw a diagram of the lay-out including

a key After the game, I could easily see which shots were successful,

which were unsuccessful and which shots I rarely used My main strength is.......because 70% of the marks were ticks

and circled ticks My weakest shot is the Overhead clear as there were many

crosses against that shot, in fact more than 50% of the marks were crosses.

This meant I either hit it out, fluffed the shot or it didn’t go far enough up the court and it was an easy target.

Question 5 of 2009 past paper

(b) Now describe one method you used to collect data about a specific skill in your performance 3marks

I used a movement analysis sheet( PAR sheet) PAR stands for Preparation, Action, Recovery The sheet describes the Overhead clear when played by a

model performer The sheet breaks the actions of the skill into 3 components Give an example of one action at each stage of

Preparation, Action and Recovery I was filmed playing the overhead clear repeatedly when

fed shuttles by an accurate feeder/coach/teacher I was able to complete the sheet with the teacher by

comparing my performance to that of a model performer A tick was marked if I completed the action correctly or a

cross if unsuccessful

Question 5 of 2009 paper

The sheet easily identified my strengths and weaknesses

For example, I wasn’t turning side on in the preparation phase which would mean I was unable to transfer my weight into the shot.

This would mean my overhead clear was lacking the necessary power.

My strength was that I move from base and track the shuttle well.

The sheet pinpoints exactly the parts of the shot I need to work on in my programme of work.
