 * Analysis of performance**

By Christmas you must hand in video footage of yourself performing in a competitive situation (match/tournament etc). The camera should focus on you, not the play, although if possible, get both in shot.

//Section A// Your college and /or club coaches will award you your marks for your practical effectiveness in a competitive situation. You can be assessed by competing regularly for your college sports team or by competing for an external club team that has a permanent, qualified sports coach who has worked with you for at least 6 months.

//Section B// After Christmas, your teacher will arrange an assessment meeting with you in which you will perform an observation and analysis of your own performance based on the video footage you have provided. You must identify weaknesses you possess when compared to an elite performer in the following four areas; //Section C// During the assessment for section B you will also be expected to identify the following;
 * Effectiveness of attacking skills
 * Effectiveness of defending skills
 * Effective implementation of strategies and tactics
 * Effective implementation of physiological and psychological factors which affect performance
 * Possible causes of weaknesses of each area assessed in section B
 * Corrective practices to allow improvement of performance (not just identification of drills)


 * Coursework**

You will complete a synoptic assignment which must be between 1000-3000 words. This will be externally marked and is due in before the Spring Holiday.
