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 learning and retention, and                reduces the effect of fatigue and boredom. Perfect for a beginner and novice like myself

Statistics/Detailed Information Collected:·         

  • Being a competitive game between a friend and I, the objective was to win the game, not could the percentage of shooting
  •          My friend won 4 out 7 games.
  •          Drill went for about 20-25 minutes
  •        No fatigue caused 

Reflection:

Hull, L. (2014) mentioned the enjoyment of this drill. He was correct, to me this drill was very enjoyable, the competitiveness allowed me to be more focused. It caused me to mentally rehearse each shot, as I am waiting for my turn to shoot. I think this is a more appropriate drill compared to the last session, as this was much more suited for a cognitive learning person. The time given to practice my form was key. The distribution design from Foxon, F. (2001) mentioned many statements about it stopping boredom and fatigue. He was right, being able to have fun talking between shots, made the game very enjoyable, but at the same time beneficial as I used mental rehearsal in these breaks. And stop fatigue from effecting my form

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 over again, makes it more likely to

Session 9 - Concentration Drill - April 25th Design of Session: Babcock, R. (N/A). explains that without good concentration, you will never be a good jump shooter. To help with this, we wanted to improve visualization through a drill ‘shooting blind folded’. The following design will follow a distributed design; Foxon, F. (2001). Will be used for the breaks in between changing shots, and receiving feedback, the pace in this drill does not need to be fast. A lot of feedback is required, and mental rehearsal. 1. The shooter stands blinded folded in a position they’re comfortable shooting at. 2)  In their shooting position, they will shoot. 3) The rebounder will hand the ball back, and give feedback on whether the shot went in or not. 4) After 10 shots remove the blindfold, and visually look at the rim, and use mental rehearsal. 5) Choose whether to change spot or not.
