Answer Structure- Scenario Question (PART B)
3B-Scenario: Explain the development approaches that could be used to help this person prepare for a future performance
| Intro: There are a number of development approaches that could be used to develop the physical and emotional factors in preparation for this performance.
Centreing :One approach that could be used to help me overcome fear is ‘centering’. I used this approach because this allows me to mentally prepare for my performance and be able to manage my fear in preparation for the performance. For example if I was afraid of making a bad pass that gave away a goal I would visualise performing successfully passes and this will help me block out any negative feeling and help my performance. Parking It: I also used ‘Parking it’ to help me manage my anger because this approach helped me to stay focused on the game by forgetting about the situation that had made me angry and continuing with my own game. As a result of using this approach I was able to stay calm and try to get possession of the ball and score a basket to help my team win as I was not still thinking about what had made me angry. |

Repetition Drills: To develop more accurate passing skills in preparation for the performance I used repetition drills because this will allow me to increase my consistency when performing this skill in a game. This will help me as being able to pass accurately will help my team create scoring opportunities.
Conditioned Games: Another development approach I used was conditioned games, making the condition that I could only use 2 touches this helped me to develop my passing and moving skills when under pressure. This helped me in a real game as I was used to the pressure of exciting this skills when being closed down by a defender.
Interval Training: I could also develop CRE through interval training as this will allow me to work at a high intensity for 20-30 min in my training zone and ensure I can maintain a high skill level for the full duration of the game. In this last minute I will be able to break up pitch and score on counter attack.
Team practices help me improve my knowledge of the tactics the team were using as I was able to get used to my role when the team is defending. This allowed me to track my opponent and prevent my team from conceding.

Answer Structure- Scenario Question (PART A)
The extract is a summary of a footballer’s performance in a recent game
- Pass completion rate was only 40%
- Booked in 40 minutes, sent off in 71 minutes
- Was at fault for the oppositions first goal, not tracking the opponent
- Appear agitated and distracted by the crowd
In your answer you must refer to the following factors impacting on performance; Emotional and one other
– from physical and social
- Analyse some of the reasons for the footballer putting in this kind of performance.
| Intro: One factor that may have impacted on the footballer’s performance is the emotional factor.
Anger had a negative impact on the player’s performance as the information above shows that the player was booked and, then thirty minutes later sent off. This happened because the player was angry with himself for giving away the first goal and as a result took his frustration out on an opponent with two bad tackles.
Fear also had a negative impact on the players’ performance as he was afraid of making a mistake when performing in front of a big crowd and this caused him to become anxious and distracted. This had a negative impact on his performance as the player forgot to carry out his defensive duties as resulted in his team giving away the first goal.
Fear also led to the player committing his first foul and getting his first yellow card as he did not want to be at fault for conceding another goal so he brought the attacker down as he attempted to go by him.
Fear could also have impacted on the player’s confidence and this caused him to make mistakes when executing simple skills such as passing, as his success rate was only 40%.

Physical factor also responsible for this players performance:
Skill– This player is a very inaccurate passer due to his poor technique and this caused him to give the ball away a lot.
Skill– The player is a poor tackler and often mistimes tackles causing him to get booked.
Tactics– The player also did not have a good understanding of the team’s defensive tactics and this caused him not to track back and as a result his team conceded the first goal.
Tactics- The player was also playing out of position and this caused him to feel agitated as he was playing in a role he was not familiar with.
Fitness: The player also had a low level of speed/CRE and was not able to track back when defending, this caused the first goal.

Scenario Question (Model Answer 8)
Below is a model answer that gained full marks in the prelim exam.
Question: Evaluate the advantages and/or disadvantages of the approaches used leading up to this event. You must make reference to your performance development. (8)
The approaches I used in the lead up were self-talk and visualisation. An advantage of self-talk was that it would motivate me for the game which is useful as it will make me play better as I will want to win more as I have told myself that I could beat anyone which motivated me to go on and win the game. Another advantage of self-talk is that it can build my confidence as I can give myself hope that I can win and this is useful as I would perform a larger variety of skills during the game which would make it harder for my opponent as he doesn’t know what I am going to do. However this could be a disadvantage as if I use self-talk multiple times I could make myself overconfident and this could affect my performance as I want to play as well as I think that I have already won the game which means I might make more mistakes as I wouldn’t be trying as hard. An advantage of visualisation is that it allows me to see what I want to do during the game and gives me and idea of what the game is going to be like which can motivate me as well as make my anxiety level good and this is useful as I would be more motivated to do well which means ill try harder and do everything I can as well as no having my anxiety too high or low so I wont get tired out at the start but still try my hardest during the game. A disadvantage is that I wasn’t able to concentrate fully on visualising what I wanted because it was hard to concentrate in my surroundings so it wasn’t as effective. Another disadvantage is that I could only do it before the game and I was focusing on my performance I wasn’t remembering what I had visualised so it made it less effective.

Scenario Question (Model Answer 7)
Below is a model answer which gained full marks in the prelim exam.
Question: By making reference to the MENTAL factor and one other from either: Physical, Social or Emotional a) Explain some of the challenges you may face in the period leading up to this event. (8)
Some mental challenges you may face leading up to your event are Anxiety over losing this event may prevent you from concentrating on your performance and technique which would result in errors and possibly losing at the event. Low mental toughness could result in you being unable to push through and beat your opponent if they are beating you in the early stages of the event, having low mental toughness would mean that you wouldn’t be able to motivate yourself to play better and you would continue to lose points. If your level of arousal is low and you feel like you don’t need to worry about who you’re competing against, you may be unprepared if you come across a challenging competitor which means you could end up losing, or not winning at your event. If your motivation is low then you may not be able to perform to the best of your ability due to not being able to set goals or get yourself excited for the challenge which could result in losing at your event.
Some physical challenges you may face building up to your event could be a lack of muscular endurance. If you have low muscular endurance then you will become fatigued earlier on in the event which means your standard of playing will drop due to errors being made because you are unable to perform the correct technique due to fatigue and low muscular endurance. Timing may also be a challenge. If your timing is off say in a swimming race, your dive at the start will be mistimed causing you to have a bad start which will increase your time or get you disqualified. Your tumble turns during a race may also be mistimed which would further increase your time. If you had a lack of agility this could affect your performance. In a game of hockey, if you had a lack of agility, you would not be able to turn with the ball quickly to dodge defenders or attackers which could result in your team losing possession of the ball or giving your opponents an opportunity to score. Accuracy could be a challenge you face as well. If your accuracy is not well developed it could mean that you are not able to, in a game of badminton, accurately hit the shot to where you want it to go which means it may go out or your opponent may have an easier chance of returning it and winning the point.
