“Provide evidence of the evaluation of the effectiveness of your development plan in supporting your performance development.”

Factors impacting on Performance

You need to …“Provide evidence of the evaluation of the effectiveness of your

development plan in supporting your performance development”

Your answer must:-Explain how well your plan (training programme) worked.

You will do this by following the advice in stages

Factors impacting on Performance

First of all …

Look at all your data collection from the start of the block.

Look at all your data collection from the end of the block.

To answer this part of the question:- COMPARE the two, by describing any difference in the

results, including all statistics and data

Firstly, you should DESCRIBE and EXPLAIN at least 2 specific improvements to features of your performance.

Secondly, you should DESCRIBE and EXPLAIN the impact these improvements have to your overall performance.

(This is the most important part of your answer)

How well did your plan work?

For example…First improvement My CRE has now improved as a result of fartlek training. I retested

my CRE through the bleep test and have made good improvement. My results show that I have improved from 6.2 to 9.5.This is a huge improvement for 4 weeks of training.

Second improvement When I redid my movement analysis it was clear my overall running

technique had improved. I now had ticks in all areas and the overall time had improved. My technique now looks smoother and more dynamic.

Impact on performance (whole performance context) By developing both my CRE and technique, my overall time for the

800m has greatly improved. I have managed to achieve my long term target of taking 5 seconds off my initial time. I now run the event in 2.58 seconds (PB).

Did you achieve your targets?Secondly…(Based on your findings)Do you think you achieved your short term targets?Say what they were and how you know you achieved themDescribe and Discuss

Do you think you achieved your long term targets?Say what they were and how you know you achieved them

Describe and Discuss

For example…My first short term target was to take 2 seconds off my

personal best for 1500m. I set this target for the end of week 1. After following my training programme, I retested the 1500m at the end of week 1 and found that I had successful achieved my first short term targets. This told me my training programme was appropriate in helping me achieve my goals.

My second short term target was to…

My long term target was to …

What made your training programme effective?Now you have retested and analysed the results ANDChecked targets to see if you achieved them NOW

Thirdly…DESCRIBE 3 things about your training programme that

made it effective and EXPLAIN how these 3 things impacted your training and

your performance.

For example…My short term targets helped me stay focused and

motivated, which kept me on track. I made my short term targets challenging, but achievable and this kept me driven. The frequency and variety within the sessions prevented me from becoming bored. The regular feedback I received from my coach kept me working hard to achieve success and ensured I was doing each training session correctly. All of these things supported me and contributed to the success of my training programme.

Your turn… Now it’s your turn to follow the steps and write your answer.
