Giving feedback on skill performance by Vickie Barker https://padlet.com/johnandvickie/jzusdbrdc4ue Considerations en-us 2017-03-22 19:20:23 UTC 2025-12-22 21:42:47 UTC hello@padlet.com When to give feedback https://padlet.com/johnandvickie/jzusdbrdc4ue/wish/162068905 - People profit more from feedback when they ask for it rather when someone else decides they need it. "When in doubt, keep quiet."
- More difficult the skill, the more likely people are to ask for feedback.
- Findings suggest that you should resist the temptation to provide assistance and instead allow athletes to practice their skills on their own - Games approach to practice.
- Your goal should to only give feedback when athletes cannot pick it up on their own. 
- Feedback is more important when an athlete is learning a certain skill or pattern.]]> 2017-03-23 10:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/johnandvickie/jzusdbrdc4ue/wish/162068905 How Often to give feedback. https://padlet.com/johnandvickie/jzusdbrdc4ue/wish/162069103 - Delaying feedback can have some benefits. Making the athlete become more independent as it encourages them to evaluate their own feedback before getting any off the coach. 
- They want to reduce the frequency of the extrinsic feedback when the athlete has demonstrated the skill so they learn how they correctly did that skill and how it felt, but if the performance starts to drop the frequency of the feedback should increase until it improves. 
- If feedback is too frequent then the athlete can become dependent on it and not correct the skill because they feel they have done it wrong, but because they have been told that it was wrong. They then depend on the feedback to improve the skill. ]]> 2017-03-23 10:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/johnandvickie/jzusdbrdc4ue/wish/162069103 How detailed the feedback should be? https://padlet.com/johnandvickie/jzusdbrdc4ue/wish/162069393 - Extrinsic feedback doesn't need to be precise to be effective during early learning at that point its just general information. More precise feedback would benefit higher level athletes. 
- Bandwidth feedback allows you to give feedback less often (the amount of error you will tolerate before providing extrinsic feedback.)
- Determine a performance bandwidth for your athlete which will help them to improve their skill without your assistance. ]]> 2017-03-23 10:34:30 UTC https://padlet.com/johnandvickie/jzusdbrdc4ue/wish/162069393 How much feedback to give: https://padlet.com/johnandvickie/jzusdbrdc4ue/wish/162069797 - Keep it simple
- Be sure to not overload the rider with to many things to improve on as this may have a negative effect on motivation and performance.
- Quality over quantity.
- The amount of feedback also depends on the experience level of the athlete. For example extrinsic feedback for a beginner should be restricted to 1 or 2 aspects of performance.
- The more complex the technical skill/ the less experiences the athlete the fewer attempts you should include the feedback.
