For example in the game, I used my speed to run down the pitch into a clear space where I was free from defenders and could easily receive a pass. Therefore during my performance this helped create options for my team to pass if they were in need and also, help keep the speed of the game quick to keep away from defenders. 

2 - Another strength in my performance was catching. Catching is a vital component to AFL9's and requires your team to carry on with possession of the ball and move up the pitch to score. An example of my performance in a game is when I caught a long kick from a player and this enabled me to be marked which is when no one can tag me and also I caught the ball near the goal which gives us a opportunity to score.This strength is shown on the radar graph and the video of the game, therefore it illustrates that my catching was a strength in my game play. For the team this helped us keep possession of the ball throughout the game and hopefully score, also it enabled us to progress up the court without getting a turn over.

Therefore, this illustrates that I do not have enough power in my legs to jump for the ball. On the video of our game you can see that i don't jump for the ball when it is in my reach, as i have the thought of dropping it and not receiving the ball, as well as not being strong enough to carry out the action. Then this means that there is a possibility the ball can be intercepted, therefore the team will be let down and we will lose possession of the ball. 

2 - Kicking was also a weakness in my performance and this is illustrated in the profile performance graph. I have had no training in kicking so when coming into paying AFL9's it was a defiant weakness. For example, as shown in the video footage i attempt to kick the ball into the goal, however my kick is not strong enough to score and the defenders can intercept this kick easily. This made the team lose a goal, which gave possession to the other team. ]]> 2016-10-10 11:35:01 UTC https://padlet.com/faye_murton/g97l0lsxupmw/wish/129476195 faye_murton https://padlet.com/faye_murton/g97l0lsxupmw/wish/129737537 In AFL9's i need to improve on my Jumping, therefore i am going to commerce at the gym and train through plyometric training. Plyometric training involves explosive movements of jumping and bounding. Normally it concludes jumping onto a box and off with increasing the height of the box for improvement to be made. This training will help improve my power in my legs which will enable me to jump higher when play in AFL9's. To analyse my results i will use the vertical high jump as a measure to see my progress in my legs. Therefore completing the jump at the start of my training and then at the end, hoping there is an improvement in my jumping ability. I will carry out the plyometric training for 6 weeks and train 3 times a week. Each training session will include 5 sets of 15 jumps with a 1 minute recovering between each set, starting with a low height and progress to a higher height over the weeks once i have accomplished the technique accurately. I want to achieve at least 20% on to my first result on the vertical high jump, this gives me an realistic target to accomplish over my training and at the end of each week will test and measure my jump. 

In AFL9's i also need to improve on my kicking. I will complete drills throughout training which will include different scenarios that relate to a game in AFL9's. This training will be carried out 3 times a week for 30 minutes and over 6 weeks. Then this will allow a reasonable time to for three 10 minutes sets of three different drills. Furthermore, the first drill will include three players, one as a feeder, the second in the goal and the other one as the attacker, the feeder will be giving the ball to the attacker and they have to receive it and kick the ball into the goal. This will carry out for 10 minutes of hard work and the feeder must switch sides of where they are positioned so the attacker can work on kicking the ball in different places on the pitch. The next drill will be the same but including a defender as well so the attacker will have pressure and have to work to move around the defender, this is also a duration of 10 minutes. The last drill will be more of a progression, therefore the attacker has to take 10 steps and move around the defender and then kick into the goal. This drill will last for 10 minutes and it is specific to a game in AFL9's because you will need to move around defenders and kick under pressure. Overall, all of these drills will help work on practising kicking in realistic scenarios which will support my kicking in game play. Also, each week i will progress the drills after i have completed the kicking technique correctly, and the progression will include using a more players which involves more defenders to work around and also having a target to be 4ft away from the goal every time, therefore i will need to think ahead and adjust where i need to place myself in order to kick. After these 6 weeks over 5 games i will have a target to score at least 15 goals overall.

Plyometrics training is commonly used for basketball or volleyball players which require to do a lot of jumping, highlighting it is good to perform to improve my jumping. I will perform 15 jumps because i feel this is a good number to overload on the jumping action, but not too much that i may slack in the correct technique. Each jump my muscles will stretch and this enables me to carry out the next jump with more power, therefore having a break after the 15 jumps supports me in regaining my breath to decrease the amount of Lactic Acid that may be building up in my muscles. I am completing 5 sets as this overload of jumping will give me a massive improvement of muscle power in my legs, and will allow me to progress each week. However, i will only be completing this training 3 times a week as your muscles will need a rest from the jumping, then this allows them to work at the same intensity if not higher in the next session. This is because your rest days are when your muscles improve in strength and your body will also improve in muscular endurance and stamina. Also, i choose to measure my progress with he vertical high jump, as this allows me to clearly see if the plyometric training has allowed me build more power in my muscles to make me jump higher and wanting o jump 20% higher than my first jump at the beginning of training, gives me an achievable target to put maximum effort in my plyometric training in order to improve my muscles power and gain more height when jumping. Overall, i will complete all of the training over 6 weeks because, this allows me to gain more power in my legs and progress int jumping much higher. In 6 weeks i will be able to see an improvement and it is an achievable time to reach my target at the ned of the training.

For improvement in my kicking, i choose to perform three drills in a training session because they are specific to game play. Carrying out these drills which include using defenders and finding ways of getting around them to score supports my progression and confidence when playing a real game. This involves practising kicking into the goal and as well as having a defender in the goal, so i am used to dealing with the pressure and stress when trying to score. Therefore, this overload of practising for 10 minutes in each drill will enable me to be much more confident in a game to kick and score a goal. Also, through a training session i can receive feedback from my coach or other players on ways to improve my kicking technique or how to kick around the defenders. I decided to train for 30 minutes because this helps me focus on my kicking and will support improvement over the 6 weeks. 30 minutes is a achievable time to allow improvement and understanding of what to do in each drill, therefore the 10 minutes for each drill enables me to not overload and get bored of the drill, as this can occur in slacking of technique or intensity. I progressed each drill a bit further each time by adding more defenders or taking steps will the ball, because this helps me improve in confidence when playing a game, as the drills are specific to game play. Lastly, i gave myself a target to score at least 15 goals in the next 5 AFL9's games because, this helps me get involved in the game and have a chance in trying to score a goal, also it is a measurable target to notice that my training improved my kicking and helped me deal with stress when under pressure. To perform this training for 6 weeks will help me progress on my kicking technique and see an improvement at the end of the training. Therefore, this can allow myself to set another target to improve further in my kicking in AFL9's. ]]> 2016-10-12 21:15:02 UTC https://padlet.com/faye_murton/g97l0lsxupmw/wish/130282754
