A2 - Factors Affecting Performance: Advice Blog
If you need help or advice on completing any part of this piece of coursework please send the question to this blog.
Sir, About my F.A.P: I was going to it about crossing the ball to a certain area in the penalty box and getting points for what i believe is the best place, i.e. 10 points for penalty spot, 2 points for the goal line. You said something about how it would be better, could you tell me what is was again please. Thanks
Hi Tom, thanks for your qeustion. I think the scoring zone is a good idea but you might need to think about how different aspects of the game affect the point tally. For example the two which might work are:- i) the affect of pressure on the winger
*a defender/defenders closing the crosser down
ii) the affect of body position on crossing accuracy.
I think the second idea would be of interest to you as you would working out the best angle you would need to execute consistent crosses.
This would probably be easier to test as you would have a quantitative measure which may ebe easier to draw out meaningful discussion.
How might you test for this? What would your protocol be to ensure validity?
You could maybe test the sixth form team on crossing before the final vs Fortismere as it may help them out.
Get back as soon as you have an answer. I hope this helps.....
A lot of the research I have found relates to the psychology and startegies used by goal-keepers whilst facing a penalty.
I thought it might be good for you to investigate some the problems and pressures faced by outfield players in the same situation.
Look at reading the keepers body language and strategies that can be used to ignore the goal-keeper i.e 'spaghetti legs', placing the ball away from the spot, comments when handing the ball over which all increase thinking time for the taker.
What can be done by players to minimise diruptions to the thought-process?
i.e tips like 'dont change your mind' - pick a side and stay with it. If the keeper saves it its because its a good save and not down to mind games.
Think of some of the psychology we have covered and get back to me with your idea's.

Hope this makes sense,
