Student Instructions

Understanding the process of devising strategies

Students are required to develop, trial, and adjust the devised strategies with the intention to achieve their physical activity outcome rather than evaluating these strategies.

Physical activity outcome

A specific outcome should be considered for the physical activity rather than a range of outcomes.

Most relevant strategies

The strategies most relevant to achieving the physical activity outcome should be considered. This will allow for more depth in the student responses. Strategies that have been selected and explained should match those being trialled.

Devising strategies

Student responses must provide an explanation that includes:

• clearly identifying the intended physical activity outcome

• clearly identifying each strategy to be developed

• how and why they are intending to apply each strategy to meet their intended physical activity outcome

• specific examples of how they would apply each strategy.

Trialling and adjusting devised strategies

It is expected that strategies are trialled and adjusted before the physical activity outcome is completed rather than evaluating these strategies after the event/experience/ performance programme.

Student responses must provide:

• evidence of the strategies being trialled, with supporting examples

• an explanation of how and why adjustments are required to be made to each strategy after the trialling process to achieve the intended physical activity outcome. These adjustments should align with the student’s reflection.

• if no strategies require adjustment, this needs to be reflected in the explanation relating to the physical activity outcome.

The intended physical activity outcome is to score a point by putting the ball down over the line. On defence, the intended outcome is to defend the line from the opposition, placing the ball down over the line. Scoring the ball over the line and defending an open line is classed as an open target

The first strategy that my team and I used was man-on-man defence.  

(why, how - ask yourself many times. Back up with a specific example)

Mirroring

After using a man on man defence for a few games, the team and I noticed we were still letting in points. When then decided to make adjustments. (explain adjustments you made. why did you make them? Did they work? pros/cons. what were the outcomes. Each adjustment you discuss needs to be a new paragraph

• Getting too tired so staying back closer to the target

• Opposition has too much speed so cutting down the space

• Changing markers to avoid mis match

• Watching the hips if marking a stepper. 

• Two seconds watching the player and one second watching the ball. - many of you were ball watching

Psychological strategies

Efficacy 

Efficacy is your own judgement of your ability to make things happen and be successful.

It affects your willingness to set BIG goals, sacrifice, overcome setbacks and how much accountability you accept for your decisions, behaviour and outcomes. 

Esteem

Esteem is your own judgement of your personal value or worth in a social group.

It affects what you settle for in your life, how high you set your goals and the quality of your relationships.

Strategies to improve Self Efficacy and esteem

• Optimistic self talk

• Thinking of past experiences and success

• Thinking of others success

• Accepting compliments people give you

• Recognising when people give you compliments

• Imagining and visualising success

Mindfullness

Thich Nhat Hanh

“Life is available only in the present moment. If you abandon the present moment you cannot live the moments of your daily life deeply.”

Buddha

“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.”

Sharon Salzberg

“Mindfulness isn’t difficult, we just need to remember to do it.”

Eckhart Tolle

“Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry—all forms of fear—are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.”

Wayne Dyer

“You’ll seldom experience regret for anything that you’ve done. It is what you haven’t done that will torment you. The message, therefore, is clear. Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it. Value your present moments. Using them up in any self-defeating ways means you’ve lost them forever.”

Purpose and Goal-setting

Discuss the importance of finding motivation and effort in your games.

Motivation can come from internally or externally.

Ultimately, internal motivation is better as it means you are in control of your effort, achievement, and happiness.

Zone defence

Make a statement on how you and your team came up with a strategy of using a zone defence

Explain the advantages/disadvantages of using a zone defence compared to a a man on man

Describe what type of zone did you used and what were your policies.

Explain and evaluate how it worked.  What did you trial. Evaluate the adjustments you had to make

Evaluate the interrelationship between Zone Policy and Team 'buy in' Belief that they can stick to the policy.  Are there strategies you use to ensure your team buys into the policy and also believes and sticks to the policy.

Features of a zone defence

1. Identify the space on the field court where the opposition can potentially score.

2.  Break that space up into separate zones for each player to defend

3. Assign each player in your team to a separate zone to defend 

4. Consider the strength and weaknesses of your players when assigning zones. An example would be that faster players could be assigned a bigger zone 

5. Position yourself always closest to the ball without leaving your zone

6. Spend the majority of your time with your eyes scanning your zone identifying threats that enter

7.  Traet your zone as your territory and do not give up free shots within your territory  

Attack to beat a zone defence

Write about attacks you used to beat the zone defence
