SKILL, FEEDBACK AND

PRACTICE
 Learning Objectives
1. Perform different skills and
categorise them.
2. Identify different types of
feedback
3. Observe and understand the
different types of practice and
guidance
 What is skill?
 Thelearned ability to bring about a
pre-determined result with
maximum certainty and efficiency.
 Open and Closed Skills
 What are they?
 Open = Movements may vary
depending on what is going on
around you (environment).
 Example….
 Receiving a pass in open play
during a Hockey match.
 Open and Closed Skills
 Closed = Movements are always
exactly the same. They do not
depend on the environment.
 Example…..
 Forward somersault in
trampolining
 Group Task
 You will perform a number of skills and place
them on a continuum, they are:
 Penalty kick
 Badminton serve + open play (play to 1
point, winner stays on)
 Forward roll
 Cricket bowl (pretend there is a batter)
 Rugby Line passing
 Feedback
 Intrinsic – Internal…
 Information from your muscles, the
feel of a movement.
 Extrinsic – External…
 Seeing the results of your
performance. Comments from a
coach, teacher or friend.
Task – Basketball set shot

 Perform the skill and then watch

yourself on the screen.
 What types of information and
feedback were you given, and was it
helpful?
 Body awareness - intrinsic
 Verbal feedback - extrinsic
 Visual – Video/visual analysis software
- extrinsic
 This is known as….

Knowledge of
Performance (KP)
Task – Basketball set shot

2 people take it turns to have 10

consecutive free shots.
 Record the number of scores, and work
out the success %.
 What is this type of feedback called?

Knowledge of Results (KR)

 Practice and Guidance

 Does practice make perfect?

 What if you practice the wrong thing,
in the wrong way?
 Therefore, practice makes
permanent!
 It is important to make sure we
practice skills in a variety of ways
and situations, to learn it properly.
 Practice
2 volunteers please!
 Hockey – push pass and receive
 Whole – Part – Whole
 Variable – Pass through gates,
progress to a small-sided game (4
more volunteers needed)
 Guidance
 Think back to the practices you just
observed.
 When did I use visual guidance?
 What verbal guidance did I use?
 Was there any manual guidance?
 A good coach/teacher will use a combination
of the above.
 Plenary
 Exam question
 Explain how a goalkeeper saving a
shot in football is an open skill.
What extrinsic feedback may the
goalkeeper receive. And explain
why variable practices would be
suitable to improve performance.
