NOTE: training template below for use if you want. You will have to make a copy
Include a short paragraph on the athlete that will be used for this assessment task. You will need to include the skill, experience, stage of learning and any initial issues that you will go on to explore in the boxes below.
I noticed that...
The biomechanical principle/s that relates to this is...
I need to...(make sure you include anatomy in here, agonist/ antagonist, movements)
The reason why I must make this/ these changes is
The drill that I used to improve this was...
I noticed that when i was shooting my 3 point shots in basketball that I was short of the hoop making air shots.
The biomechanical principle that relates to this is force summation. This is about applying more force to a movement by using more muscles in the correct timing and order to ensure you produce a good amount of force for the skill.
I need to have more flexion in my knees and hips to make sure tht I get the power from the biggest or strongest muscles in my body which are the quadriceps, gluteus maximus and the hamstrings for my 3 point shot.
The reason why I must make these changes is because when I shoot i dont have enough flexion in my knee with the hamstring (agonist) and quadriceps (antagonist) and flexion in my hips with the hip flexors (agonist and gluteus maximum (antagonist). Because I only have a small amout of flexion I cannot produce a lot of force which means that I only apply a small amout of force to the ball which ends up being an "air shot" short of the hoop each time I shoot. This is important because a 3 point shot is taken from a far distance and needs to go over other players as well so it is a shot that requires a lot of force behind it to make it to the hoop.
The drill that I used to help me increase my hip and knee flexion in my 3 point shot was a distributed praactice drill. I set up a chair on the court at the 3 point line and took a shot. I made sure that I touched the chair to ensure that I was getting a good amount of flexion in my knee and hips before extending up to make the shot. This ensured that I have enough force to apply to the ball to make the shot. In between each shot I reflected on how well i touched the chair and gave myself feedback on each shot if I did or did not touch the chair.
