2.  Mark for part a =  Mark for part b =  Mark for part c =  Mark for part d =  Mark for part e =  Overall mark /20  Strongest areas are  Weakest areas are  Target area to work on=  Comment on result

3. (a) Describe one method you used to collect data about your whole performance. 4 marks  I played a game of full court singles up to 21 points  I played against an opponent of similar ability  A class mate with a good knowledge of badminton watched only my play  At the same time he/she filled in a Match Analysis sheet  Describe the sheet and draw a diagram of the lay-out including a key  After the game, I could easily see which shots were successful, which were unsuccessful and which shots I rarely used  My main strength is.......because 70% of the marks were ticks and circled ticks  My weakest shot is the Overhead clear as there were many crosses against that shot, in fact more than 50% of the marks were crosses.  This meant I either hit it out, fluffed the shot or it didn’t go far enough up the court and it was an easy target.

4. (b) Now describe one method you used to collect data about a specific skill in your performance 3marks  I used a movement analysis sheet( PAR sheet)  PAR stands for Preparation, Action, Recovery  The sheet describes the Overhead clear when played by a model performer  The sheet breaks the actions of the skill into 3 components  Give an example of one action at each stage of Preparation, Action and Recovery  I was filmed playing the overhead clear repeatedly when fed shuttles by an accurate feeder/coach/teacher  I was able to complete the sheet with the teacher by comparing my performance to that of a model performer  A tick was marked if I completed the action correctly or a cross if unsuccessful

5.  The sheet easily identified my strengths and weaknesses  For example, I wasn’t turning side on in the preparation phase which would mean I was unable to transfer my weight into the shot.  This would mean my overhead clear was lacking the necessary power.  My strength was that I move from base and track the shuttle well.  The sheet pinpoints exactly the parts of the shot I need to work on in my programme of work.
