Year 12 students

I have looked through your training analysis sessions, there is some very good work, some work that needs a bit of improvement and some work that is missing.  If it is missing then it is unacceptable, the deadlines are there to assist you with achieving the best possible mark that you can.  You know what is due in and when it is due in, outlined in the previous document.
The deadlines for next Sunday stand and will be hit by everyone, if people continue to not hit deadlines then it will be a build up of work and the overall quality of the final product will suffer.

The feedback for any work that has been completed is now in your 'support materials' folder in dropbox.

Please find the schedule for hand ins on the document below.
A reminder on the strengths & weaknesses work we spoke about in todays lesson.

Complete a performance profiling wheel (a sample wagon wheel can be found in your shared resources folder in your drop box account).  Complete the outside sections of the wheel for Physiological & Psychological areas that are important for you as a performer in your sport.
Have two finished wheels, one completed by you and the other completed by your coach handed in by lunchtime on Sunday 4th March.

You are then in a position to complete your analysis looking at the different sub groups of Physiological, Psychological, Mechanical & Technical (from your notation & technical work) & Tactical.

Some work for the lesson I am away, along with some additional revision work. Ensure you prepare for the exam on the first day back. Have a good week off.



If you did not finish off the application of Caron's 4 dimensional model from the last lesson, ensure this is also completed.

The BBC are currently doing a 30 part series on 'Sport & the British'.  The series covers a lot of the points that you will be looking at in the Development of Competitive Sport section with Mrs Bell.  The link to the page is below.  Each programme is only 15 minutes long.

A couple of interesting articles you may want to look through for revision purposes.
One on heat acclimitisation and one on psychology of winning.  Useful for application of practical examples.

Reminder, the next work due in on Sunday are your training analysis sessions.  If for some reason you are unable to get these to me by Sunday then please see me by the end of this week.

You will also need to complete an evaluation, this can only be done after you have retested yourself.  Both of my lessons next week (Sunday & Thursday) will be available for you to retest yourself in the components you have been working on to improve.  You can complete the retesting or continue in the 'pod'.
The evaluation can be completed once your second notation on yourself is finished and you can make reference to any improvement in the skill component.

Ensure your sessions are in the dropbox folder by the end of lunchtime on Sunday.
To assist you with your evaluation, as you write it, I have added an exemplar to a 'support material' folder which is in each of your dropbox folders.  Please keep checking this folder as I add more materials.

Finally, the following is how I want you to arrange each of your dropbox folders to ensure all work is up to date and in a logical order.

Make sure to ask if you have any questions.

Year 13 students

The following Prezi work may be useful for revision for your upcoming exam along with reminding you of some adaptations for your Development Plan.
Along with the online journals you should have found more resources on the library wider reading list.
As a department we also have a number of different textbooks you can access, if you want to have a look through them then please ask one of the members of the PE department.

Year 13 students - cover work

As I mentioned on Thursday, I am not in your lesson on Sunday.

As a result please complete the following work:
Without your notes complete the following quick fire questions, there may be a couple of questions where you do actually have to use your textbooks for a little research.


Then, find three pictures of sporting performers completing a movement, e.g. Basketball player in the preperation phase for a pass.
Then annotate the pictures explaining
  • What has just happened,
  • What performer movements have been seen,
  • What are the external conditions and internal states felt by the performer (research possibly needed)
This will show how performers use mental pictures on the move, how various movements and options are taken in and used in a split second. We will discuss your findings on Tuesday.

This needs to be completed in the Sunday lesson and brought to the lesson on Tuesday.  For the pictures use a computer in the library.

Year 12 Students

Some clarification:On Sunday 5th February you are handing in your 16 training sessions for 2.1 (8 for each sport, but not Athletics at this moment) showing the evidence that you have completed your practical or coaching performance over an 8 week period.
The following Sunday, 12th February, you will be handing in your 16 session plans from your personal training analysis (2.4).  Ideally 8 on the fitness component(s) you have worked on based on your fitness testing and 8 on the skill you worked on based on your first notation.

From that point forward you are then able to:
  • Retest yourself and complete your evaluation on the training analysis.
  • Complete your second notation on yourself followed by the conclusion
  • Be ready to start the final part of 2.4 (strengths & weaknesses) after the February holiday
Finally, get a dropbox account on your laptop, choose the free option.

Any questions on this then please email me over the weekend.

You will require practical kit again for tomorrows lesson.  If you missed the lesson yesterday you need to ensure you arrive with a 5 minute training plan for a game which is 3 vs 3, uses the volleyball court dimensions, ball is tennis ball size, attackers cannot run when in posession and you score by shooting into a waist high basket at either end.
The session plan must be designed using the Holistic approach.

I am still waiting for some work to be handed in that was due on Sunday.  This must be with me ASAP.  It is also disappointing that some of you have not improved your work based on previous feedback.  The hand in dates are to assist you manage your work load, as soon as improvements are suggested make sure you apply them to your work,
