I need to concentrate when playing half-court man to man defence in basketball.  

This means I am able to focus on marking my opponent whilst not getting distracted by the movements of others around me.

This resulted in me staying tight to my opponent and intercepting passes that are made to them regaining possession for my team and setting up a fast break.  

Decision making is important during a rally in Badminton. 

This means i can notice my opponent is staying at the back of the court and not getting back to the middle, i can then decide to play a drop shot to the front of the court. 

This leads to my opponent not being able to return the shuttle and me winning the point. 

Anger

• Definition: Is a strong feeling of being annoyed and can lead to someone being uncooperative.

• Anger can have a negative impact on my performance in football when the referee gives a foul against me. This means i get angry and swear at the referee. This leads to me giving away a free kick to the other team and I get a yellow card for disent meaning I have to be more cautious for the rest of the game. 

Anxiety

• Definition: Is a  feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease about something with an uncertain outcome.

• Anxiety can have a negative impact on my performance in swimming when performing a tumble turn.  This means as I approach the wall to do a tumble turn I feel very nervous which means I overthink the turn and misplace my feet on the wall. This leads to me slowing down when coming out of the turn and I fall behind another swimmer. 

Consistency

• Definition: Is your ability to execute skills successfully over a period of time.

• Example: Having poor consistency for my smash in badminton can have a negative impact on my performance. This means that when I play a smash, my opponent has a better chance of returning them. This leads to my opponent returning the shuttle to keep the rally and have a better chance of scoring that point. 

Accuracy

• Definition: Is how well you can place a shot or pass where you want to place it. 

• Example: Accuracy can have a positive impact on my performance in hockey. When aiming for the top left hand corner, I can hit it precisely into this corner of the goal. This means the shot is out of reach for the goalkeeper and I score for my team. 

Technique

• Definition: Is the way you perform a physical skill. (Example: A topspin forehand shot in Table Tennis)

• Example:

CRE

• Definition: Is how long you can perform for without tiring. It mainly refers to the ability of the heart (cardio) and lungs (respiratory) to continuously supply oxygenated blood to the working muscles.

• Example: CRE can have a negative impact on my performance in rugby. This means as the game goes on I struggle to keep up with the play which means I don't get to the ruck in time to protect the ball. This leads to the other team to being able to counter-ruck and gain possession of the ball. 

Agility

• Definition: Is changing directly at speed whilst maintaining your balance.

• Example: If I have good agility in basketball this will have a positive impact on my performance. This means I will be able to change direction quickly so that I can stay with my opponent. This leads to me putting them under pressure and allowing me to gain possession. 

Speed

• Definition: Is how quickly you can move part or all of your body.

• Example: Speed can have a positive impact on my performance in football. As a full-back I can match the other team's winger when they are trying to dribble down the wing. This means I can put pressure on them when they are trying to cross the ball. This leads to me tackling him and regaining possession for my team. 

Communication

• Definition: Is sharing information with teammates to support your performance. 

• Example: Communication can have a positive impact in football when I am looking to make a run in behind the defence. This means I can tell the centre midfielder that I am about to run in behind the defence so they can pass the ball quickly for me to run onto. This leads to me getting through on goal and gives me a good opportunity to put my team in the lead.

Team Dynamics

• Definition: Is the way teammates interact with each other, either positively or negatively.

• Example: Team dynamics can have a negative impact on my performance in basketball. This means when we are out of position as a team, we do not work well together when trying to organise our defence. This leads to the opponents getting closer to the basket and scoring. 

Knowledge of Role

• Definition: Is how well you understand and perform your role within your team. (Example: Performing your responsibilities as Point Guard in Basketball.)

• Example: Having a good understanding of my role in rugby can have a positive impact on my performance as I can perform my responsibilities well. As a full-back, I communicate consistently with the players in front of me, telling them where opposition players are moving to. This results in my teammates being in better defensive positions and reducing the chances of the opposition breaking our defensive line.
