KF2: How skills are learned and require refinement of technique through practice.

2. KC1: Concept of skill and skilled performance
To help you understand the terms of skill and technique, it will be useful to refer to the term 'technique' as how you do things and refer to 'skill' as how effectively you use techniques. Each attempt you make at combining a series of movements is called a performance.
The more skillful you are, the better your performance is likely to be. Being aware of the type of skill you are working on, will determine the way you practice and develop the skill.
A skilled performance is about your ability to be in the correct place at the correct time and be able to select the correct technique, making it look as effortless as possible to meet the performance demands

3. How does this relate to badminton?
Fluent/controlled movements
lunge and chassis step to cover court
Vary the pace of the game (HOW?)
Create space for point winning shots (HOW?)
Remain balanced at all times

4. Selecting the correct options!
Select Skills that are successful in outcome
Select skills which create scoring options
Select skills that allow recovery
Select skills which force errors

5. Use skills which reflect ability!
Play to own individual strengths
Avoid creating situations where weaknesses are exposed
Recognise when certain shots are ‘not on’

6. INFORMATION PROCESSING MODEL
KF1: How skills are performed through an information processing model
INFORMATION PROCESSING MODEL OR
‘LEARNING LOOP’

7. Decision Making Input Output Feedback
Make decisions based on the input information you have received. Sifting more important information from less important information is the second part of the loop.
Input
This is the information you receive from your senses, e.g. sight and sound.
Output
This is the way in which you decide to move and respond to the decisions you have made.
Feedback
During and after your chosen response you will receive information about your performance

8. Decision Making Input Output Feedback
Separate essential information from non-essential information. Make a decision. Where is shuttle going to and what type of shot will you play
Input
Position yourself correctly on court. Watch your opponent closely, what type of shot are they going to play
Output
Play an overheard clear to get yourself back into position
Feedback
Use information you receive about your performance to help you in the future. (E.g. how effective was your overhead clear in terms of speed, flight and direction.)

9. Choose a skill and discuss the range of information you need to consider to allow you to make effective decisions in carrying out that skill effectively. (6)

10. KF2:. How skills are performed for effective, consistent. performance
KF2: How skills are performed for effective, consistent performance. Understanding of classification of skills
Closed Skills
Always performed the same way
Predictable Conditions
Factors are within your control.
Same Judgements
You control when you play the shot

11. KF2:. How skills are performed for effective, consistent. performance
KF2: How skills are performed for effective, consistent performance. Understanding of classification of skills
OPEN SKILLS
Unpredictable.
Never performed the same way.
Different Heights.
Different Position.
Different speeds.
Differing judgements
Different Opponent
Factors outwith your control!

12. OPEN/CLOSED SKILLS
A number of skills can be open or closed to varying degrees
Skills exist on a continuum.
CLOSED OPEN
(PREDICTABLE) (UNPREDICTABLE)
Copy out the continuum in your jotter and place the various shots in badminton on the continuum.

15. KF3: Use of model performance
What is a model performer?
A model performer allows you to see how to complete the skill properly. They will:
show fluent, controlled movements which are consistent and efficient
have the ability to vary and adapt by using a range of skills & techniques
select the correct options
How can watching a model performer help improve your performance?
