PDHPE Assessment Task #3-Factors Affecting Performance
Skill being tested: Juggling a soccer ball
Person being tested: metin (friend)
I have chosen to teach metin how to juggle a soccer ball as it is a closed skill and the results are predictable and consistent. Closed and self-paced skill as it is under the direct control of the athlete, making it an easier skill to teach over 7 days. Juggling a soccer ball is a gross motor skill as it involves large muscle groups such as the quadriceps and the hamstrings. It’s a serial movement as it in theory it has a beginning and end movement to each juggle making it a discrete skill, however it is also continuous in nature as the intention is to continue the movement for as long as possible with a repetitive movement. Also it is serial as the discrete skill will differ depending on balance, ball placement, power etc. Often, when just starting out and learning how to juggle, it can seem almost impossible to keep the ball up in the air. But as you've heard numerous times before, you need to practice and practice and practice. Soon enough, things will start to click and you can build from one juggle, to two juggles, to ten, and on up to fifty touches and beyond, with the ball in the air.
Characteristics of a Learner- Metin has personality traits such as confidence, motivation and curiosity her skill acquisition is high which makes her more likely to learn motor skills more quickly to fulfill her potential. Metin is a very fit athlete is is willing to learn all new skills; he plays most sports because skills are learnt not inherited, and our genetic makeup has minimal impact on learning new skills. Heredity will however, provide skill learning benefits in circumstances where genetic features are significant in the learning process for example; having a higher proportion of fast twitch fibers my enhance learning the skill of shot-put because of the strength and power benefits needed to perform this skill.
