Session 4 - Balance Drills - April 10th

Image result for basketball lunges


Design of Session:

Basketball Balance Drills. Zirm, J. (2015).
1. In a slightly bent position with the ball in a ready position (triple threat, Session 1) behind the free throw. Lunge laterally to the left and then to the right. Return to the starting position and immediately take a jump shot. Repeat until you've made 20 shots
2. Repeat the first step, but implement two jumping forward and backwards into starting position.
3. Repeat Previous steps, but perform a 360-degree pivot on one foot.
4. Lunge Forward on your right foot and return and shoot. Do this on both legs ie 40 shots.
This session will follow a Mental Rehearsal Design influenced by Carnell, D. (2002). Before the first step I will mentally rehearse the movements, and focus heavily on the technique of my jump shot, picturing myself shooting in perfect form. This will be performed before each step taking.  This is effective in part of the learning process, but also serves a purpose between activities, as these can be tiresome, and serve to a resting activity too.

The mental rehearsal design was influenced by the text: Carnell, D. (2002). Advanced PE for OCR AS. Heinemann.


Statistics/Detailed & Information Collected:
  • ·         20 shots in 45 attempts
  • ·         20 shots in 41 attempts
  • ·         20 shots in 46 attempts
  • ·         20 shots in 43 attempts
  •           20 shots in 39 attempts 

Reflection:

Zirm, J. (2015). Mentioned that these drills were designed for balance and form purposes. I did feel they were designed for these purposes, and completed them rather easily. Which was due to the background of my other sports. I felt like today’s session was a productive and successful session and I felt like I was in a state of flow (in comparison to my prior poor attempts). Carnell, D. (2002). Mental rehearsal technique was useful in the reason that I had time to rest and avoid fatigue. I wasn’t too aware of the performance and learning benefits it generated. But I was happy for the breaks between tasks

Session 8 - Two Dribble Pull Up - April 22nd Design of Session:  Dribble and Jump Shot. ILoveBasketballTV. (2016). 1) Start just above the 3-point line, standing in the triple threat position.  Facing towards the rim from a diagonal position. 2) First dribble towards the rim, and with your second dribble, regather the ball with two hands, and in a squared shooting position (like the triple threat, but not as bent at the knees). 3) With the ball coming up on the second dribble, grip the ball and follow its motion upwards, with your jump shot in a controlled manor. You should be squared towards the rim, and the motion should feel natural. 4) All shots should be in the mid-range area, take 20 shots on 5 different mid-range locations.  The following session will follow a block practice design, McAllister, L. S. (2012).   Which is useful for skill acquisition. Which includes repetition and isolated segments. Repeating something over, and o...

Session 6 - Around the World - April 16th Design of Session:  Around the world drill. Hull, L. (2014).                                                                               1.Two players line up on other ends of the key, starting closest to the rim.  2) If you shoot and make the shot, advance to the next spot, wait for the other player to shoot before you make your next shot. (check appendix to see diagram of drill) This session will follow a distributed practice design influenced by Foxon, F. (2001). which                provides more frequent and longer rest intervals between practice periods (waiting for opposing          player to shoot). Distributed practice also facilitates longer term learni...

\ Session 1 - Triple Threat - April 1st  Design of Session: Gripping the ball, and footwork Gels J. (2017).              1.Catch a basketball with two hands indicating where you want the pass to go. 2) Catch the ball in the correct triple threat position with feet in a stable position (shoulder width apart) and knees bent at 45 degrees.3) Practice without the ball, then introduce the ball. 4. After learning this skill, practice shooting a foot from the rim, focusing on the movement and preparation of the shot.  This session will follow a modelling design (Harmon K, Marzano R J. 2015) I have asked a skilled basketball player friend to demonstrate how to perform the skill prior, so I can model his movements.
