Study Notes
Types of Games
- Target games involve propelling an object towards a target with accuracy
- Invasion games involve invading an opponent's territory to score
- Net games involve propelling an object into space, making it difficult for the opponent to return
Methods of Practice
- Method 1 (Representative Practice): involves athletes playing against live competition in conditions that are less predictable, focusing on developing decision-making skills
- Method 2 (Structured Practice): involves stable training conditions, athletes working alone, and acquiring proper form and mechanics, focusing on developing technique
- Method 3 (Variable Practice): involves a controlled environment with one variable, and athletes having to make decisions based on the variable, focusing on developing problem-solving skills
Phases of Learning
- The cognitive phase: athlete knows what is expected, but acknowledges that there is more to learn
- The autonomous phase: athlete can perform a skill without having to think about it
Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU)
- Developed in the 1980s
- Purpose: to teach games for understanding, focusing on developing decision-making skills
- Involves simulating true game play
- NOT part of the 6TGfU concepts: physical training
- Recommended practice session duration: 60-90 minutes
Criticisms of Traditional Training Approach
- Shortcomings: too much repetition, lack of decision-making, and isolation of skills
- Criticism of mindless drills: lack of transfer to game play situations
