What is a skill?
A skill is a learned ability to bring about the result you want, with confidence and minimum effort.
1 of 39
What is an open skill?
An open skill is performed in a changing environment, where the performer has to react and adapt to external factors e.g. a tackle in Football.
2 of 39
What is a closed skill?
A closed skill is always performed in the same predictable environment where it's not affected by external factors e.g. breaking off in Snooker.
3 of 39
What is a low organisation skill?
A low organisation skill is one which can easily be broken down into different parts that can be practiced separately e.g. front crawl in Swimming.
4 of 39
What is a high organisation skill?
A high organisation skill is one which can't easily be broken down into different parts that can be practiced separately because the parts of the skill are closely linked e.g. a cartwheel.
5 of 39
What is a basic skill?
A basic skill is one that doesn't need much concentration to do e.g. running.
6 of 39
What is a complex skill?
A complex skill is one which needs a lot of concentration to do e.g. a somersault in Trampolining

What are the four types of practice?
Massed, Fixed, Distributed and Variable.
8 of 39
What is Massed practice?
Massed practice is when you practice the skill continuously without a break. This works well to improve basic skills.
9 of 39
What is Fixed practice?
Fixed practice is when you repeat the same technique over and over again. This makes it useful for practicing closed skills and is sometimes known as doing drills.
10 of 39
What is Distributed practice?
Distributed practice is when you practice with breaks for rest or mental rehearsal. It works well to improve complex skills.
11 of 39
What is Variable practice?
Variable practice is when you repeat the same technique in different situations that you might need to use it in. It's useful for practicing open skills.
12 of 39
What is an advantage of 'Mentally Preparing'?
It can help you keep control of your emotions and cope with stress so you can perform at your best.
13 of 39
What does Goal Setting mean?
Goal Setting means setting targets that you want to reach so you can improve your performance.
14 of 39
Why does Goal Setting help training?
It gives you something to aim for and motivates you to work hard. Reaching a goal can boost confidence and can give you a sense of achievement.
15 of 39
What does SMART stand for?
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time Bound.
16 of 39
Describe Specific.
Specific means that you need to say exactly what you want to achieve. You need to have a specific target and outline exactly what you need to do to achieve it.
17 of 39
Describe Measurable.
Measurable means you need to be able to give evidence that you are improving. This is so you can see how much you've progressed towards your goal over time so you stay motivated.
18 of 39
Describe Achievable.
Achievable means not making the target too easy so it doesn't motivate you but not so hard that is it makes you feel negative and give up.
19 of 39
Describe Realistic.
Realistic means setting the target so that you can reach it. This means making sure you have everything you need to be able to fulfill your target.
20 of 39
Describe Time-Bound.
Time-Bound means setting a deadline to reach your goal this makes sure the target is measurable. Meeting short-term target deadlines keeps you on course to reach your long-term goals in time.

What are the four types of guidance?
Verbal, Visual, Manual and Mechanical.
22 of 39
What is Verbal Guidance?
Verbal Guidance is an expaination in words on how to perform a technique.
23 of 39
State two advantages of Verbal Guidance.
It can be combined with other types of guidance and is helpful for experienced performers who'll understand any technical language.
24 of 39
State two disadvantages of Verbal Guidance.
Less useful for teaching high organisation and complex skills and could be confusing for a beginner if it uses complicated language.
25 of 39
What is Visual Guidance?
Visual Guidance are visual clues to help you perform a technique. A coach could use demonstrations or videos and diagrams of a technique to show how it should be performed.
26 of 39
Give two advantages of Visual Guidance.
Works well for beginners and can be used to teach low organisation skills as each part of the skill can be shown step by step.
27 of 39
Give a disadvantage of Visual Guidance.
Less useful for teaching complex and high organisation skills as they're more complex and difficult to copy.
28 of 39
What is Manual Guidance?
Manual Guidance is when the coach physically moves your body through the technique.
29 of 39
State two advantages of Manual Guidance.
The performer can get the 'feel' of the skill before doing it on their own and it works well to teach all people on all skill levels.
30 of 39
State two disadvantages of Manual Guidance.
A performer can start to rely on it and not be able to perform a skill without it and it is difficult to use in large groups.
31 of 39
What is Mechanical Guidance?
Mechanical Guidance is guidance given using sporting equipment.
32 of 39
Give two advantages of Mechanical Guidance.
Useful for teaching beginners and is helpful for teaching complex and high organisation skills.
33 of 39
Give two disadvantages of Mechanical Guidance.
A learner might be unable to perform the skill without the help of the equipment and it's difficult to use in big groups.
34 of 39
What is Intrinsic Feedback?
Intrinsic Feedback is where the performer know how well they did the technique from how it felt. This works best for experienced performers as they can judge whether or not they've performed well.
35 of 39
What is Extrinsic Feedback?
Extrinsic Feedback is when someone else tells the performer or show you what happened and how to improve. This is suited to beginners as they don't have the experience or knowledge to accurately assess their own performance.
36 of 39
What is Concurrent Feedback?
Concurrent Feedback is received during a performance.
37 of 39
What is Terminal Feedback?
Terminal Feedback is received after a performance.
38 of 39
Why is feedback helpful?
You can use feedback to work out your strengths and weaknesses and come up with an action plan to improve your performance.
