specifically the jump shot. As I am a beginner, I will not set restrictions on the distance or
use (of the) backboard.
Self Expert Comparison
In order to test my skill development during the unit, I devised a test. I tested my success
rate out of 10 jump shots from the green line. In my first, initial test, I got 5/10 shots into the
hoop. To improve, I researched some techniques to improve my accuracy.
After the practice sessions, I retested myself to see my improvement, and I got 6/10 shots.
Although this seems to be a very minimal improvement, I believe that it can be justified, as
not only did I improve my techniques significantly, but I also shot from a further distance.
From the green line to the blue line (one line away from the free throw line). I think that
despite my goal being to make more shots and improve my accuracy, I succeeded, because
I learnt skills that were more long term and useful in actual games.
During the entire process, I think I found the correction of technique to be the most stressful
and difficult, mainly because I started rather later on in the process which often lead to me
feeling frustrated and feeling like I had taken a step back rather than a step forwards. The
goal I set was not necessarily to get the ball in, but rather to get the ball in, circle the hoop,
or bounce of the hoop. This was because I felt as though there was a certain aspect of luck
in getting the ball into the hoop, and that most of the times if I hit the rim, I was unlucky. It
was also a more comforting goal to set.
There were many forms of feedback that I looked to throughout the process, including
teacher feedback, peer feedback, video feedback, self feedback and statistic feedback. I
think that out of the five, teacher feedback and self feedback (learning) were the most
effective. This is because teacher feedback was the most reliable source I had access too,
and also the most observant. Although I could learn what I was doing wrong through videos
and peer feedback, and I knew how to improve, I just couldn’t do it properly. Self feedback
was usefull because I could imitate the movements of other people to see what they were
doing, and because many people were shooting from the same line this was much easier.
