Examples of suitable responses
1. Describe the special event you are preparing for
Football/Basketball/Netball
The special event I am preparing for is an Inter Class Football Competition. On the last week
of the programme my team will play the other teams in the class in a league format. Each
game will last for 30 minutes and a small trophy will be awarded to the winning team. The
performance will be recorded so we can watch it back.
Trampolining
The special event I am preparing for is a Trampolining Competition. On the last week of the
programme I will have two attempts to perform my sequence, both performances will be
awarded a mark out of 10. My performance will be watched by the rest of the class and
recorded so I can watch it back.
2. Describe one factor you have to consider when preparing for this event.
Football/ Basketball/ Netball
For my Football performance one factor I will need to consider is a physical factor. I will try
to improve my CRE as each game I play will last 30 minutes. I need to ensure I can play the
full game without becoming tired and my skill level remains high throughout.
Trampolining
In my trampolining performance I will need to consider the physical factors that will impact
my performance. I will need to concentrate on the weak skills in my performance e.g. swivel
hips to ensure my sequence links smoothly together to achieve the best possible score.
3. Select a different factor and describe how you considered this when preparing for
your event.
Football/ Basketball/ Netball
A second factor I need to consider when preparing for my special event is the emotional
factors. I need to ensure I manage my emotions effectively during my games. I need to ensure
I stay clam and accept all decisions made by the referee, even ones that go against me.
Trampolining
A second factor I had to consider when preparing for my special event was the emotional
factors. My sequence had a swivel hips in it which I could perform effectively in isolation but
sometimes struggled when I had to combine skills before or after it, this made me become
nervous about my special performance.
OR
I had to perform in front of an audience which I was nervous about, therefore I had to ensure
I kept my anxiety levels under control to ensure I performed my sequence to the best of my
ability and achieve the highest score.
4. Choosing one factor, describe what you did during the training sessions leading up to
the event.
Football/ Netball/ Basketball
I trained three times a week focusing on improving my CRE. I used a variety of different
methods to improve my CRE using Fartlek training (diagram) and also using a combined
approach (diagram/description).
I always trained with my team to improve our ability to work effectively together as well as
improving our ability to read each others moves.
Trampolining
I trained three times a week focusing on developing the skills in isolation and then combining
them together in the sequence. I spent a lot of time working on individual skills and in
particular my weakest skill. I started to build up my sequence by first linking 3 skills, then 4
etc…
5. Preparation leading up to the event, morning of.
Football/ Netball/ Basketball
The hour prior to our performance my team mates and I met together to warm up. First we
did some light jogging etc… we then did a variety of different dynamic stretching exercises
before starting to do some drills with the football to get us in the right frame of mind. The
captain of the team was decided and he gave a motivational talk to get us ready for the
competition to allow us to perform to our best ability.
Trampolining
Prior to my performance I warmed up by doing some light jogging before running through
my stretching routine. I then had a warm-up on the trampoline, running through my routine.
Prior to my performance I sat on my own and visualised me performing the sequence. This
helped to calm me down and block out the audience
