Performance Analysis

Lesson Objectives • Describe what performance analysis is and

what it aims to do

• Explain what and why coaches observe and

analyse performance

• Be able to apply different methods of

analysis to the four areas of performance

(using practical examples)

What is Performance Analysis?

• “Creating a Valid and

reliable record of

performance by means of

systematic observations

that can be analysed with

a view to facilitating

change”

• Only 30-50% can be

recalled after observing a

live performance!

Observe

Analyse

Evaluate Feedback

Plan

Performance Analysis • Aims to capture, analyse and evaluate key

components relating to performance and provide

concise feedback to inform future practice.

• Performance analysis may help talent identification

and there are links with elite sport (e.g. EIS)

• Qualitative and Quantitative approaches to

performance assessment

Why do coaches analyse performance?

What do they analyse?

Summary of Performance Analysis Options

Summary • Technical Aspects –

o efficiency of movement and its aesthetic qualities –

o a thorough understanding of the technical demands of the sport is essential to the coach and performer –

o Always comparing to perfect model

• Tactical Aspects – o Important in most sports especially games.

o Good tactical play is about decision making.

Summary • Behavioural Aspects –

oObserving behaviour and assessing why

performers behave in a certain way is

crucial

• Physical Aspects – o Physical fitness is a critical factor in most sports

o The physical training programmes should match

the demands made of the performer while

competing

Question 1

Question 2

2010 – “ There are a number of physical, tactical, technical and psychological factors that underpin an

individual’s performance in sport.”

a) What are the limitations of solely using coach observations whilst analysing sporting performance?

(4)

b) Discuss the various strategies, apart from coach observations, that might be employed to help

analyse and refine the tactical and behavioural aspects of an individual’s sporting performance. (6)

2011 – Discuss the various strategies that might be used to help monitor, analyse and refine the physical,

tactical, technical and behavioural aspects of an individual’s performance. (10)
