Game contexts embody unique time, 

space and action boundaries. Game contexts create specific 

problems 

>Social
Knowledge communities – discursive.

Differentiated, stratified, relational. Skills are deployed within socially 

determined contexts.

>Distributed
Skill is distributed across the body 

and its systems. Skill is distributed across the equipment and tools employed. Skill is distributed across the other players of the team 

 
Own words:
Skill is divided into 3 aspects, from specific contexts and being able to accurately deal with the scenario that presents itself, communicative and being able to get ideas and plays across, and across not only the individual but the tools they use and their team mates to overcome a task.

Skill learning example:
A team pooling their collective intelligence and understanding of contexts together to win a game.

Importance to skill learning:
Being able to achieve any task competently and efficiently that the individual or team as a unit want to achieve.

Own understanding:
A constraint is a limitation introduced to a game, environment, or task in order to specify development of a particular skill or learning to cope with different scenarios within a sport.

Example:
only being able to pass a bounce pass in basketball in order to improve on this skill in a 3v3 drill.

Importance:
Constraints target a certain aspect of the sport in order to attempt to improve this part of an individuals game.

Digital link:

the individual at a stable state is still processing the information of the situation so is well aware of their surrounding and can jump into the scenario when is called upon.

Digital link:

control movement in a complex system that work together to 

make co-ordinated/ skillful movement.

Own understanding:
whether its between the individual or the team, the controlled movements between the system are in sync, through freedom of movement, to perform a specific outcome or task.

Example:
an overlapping run, where the action is perceived by the individual in control of the ball and can execute the task in fluid motion.

Importance:
a fluid well controlled complex system will overcome most tasks presented in a sporting context.

When an observer moves relative to the environment, a global pattern of optical flow is generated at the moving point of observation and corresponds to the class and direction of observer movement. Reciprocally, this information can be used to regulate the forces applied by the observer in controlling subsequent movements, which in turn generate a new flow field, and so on in a circularly causal cycle.

Own understanding:
processing the information that is being visual received and moving in a particular manner that is associated to the perceived information showing understanding of the situation.

Example:
being closed down by an oncoming defender and seeing an opening as to where to pass the ball.

Importance:
reading the situation in a specific scenario in the game and being able to correctly execute the technique to stay in a comfortable position.

Our body is conscious of where we are in space, a kinaesthetic consciousness via our proprioceptors. The context in which we operate is important. Consciousness in the first instance, is not of a cognitive sense but of our animate form; an inherent-knowledge-of our capabilities in an information rich environment.

Own understanding:
The consciousness of where a person is in relation to their environment and how they act from processing the information they have gathered from the spaces that they may find themselves in.

Example:
The consciousness to know that the individual is playing a game of basketball

Importance:
The ability to consciously gather the information of a game to understand the context of the game and the goals that have been set in the environment and carry out them.

Digital link:

When an observer moves relative to the environment, a global pattern of optical flow is generated at the moving point of observation and corresponds to the class and direction of observer movement. Reciprocally, this information can be used to regulate the forces applied by the observer in controlling subsequent movements, which in turn generate a new flow field, and so on in a circularly causal cycle.

Own understanding:

The ever changing environment as perceived by the individual gives them an understanding of which actions should be achieved when appropriate to attempt a desired outcome.

Example:
As a Rugby player tries to step he can perceive a gap between to opposing players and accelerate to utilize the gap created.

Importance: 
This perception action coupling is used to identify which action should be used in specific changing situations, the action may change as the environment does.

Own understanding:
Sociologists study society, including patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and culture. They look into the way in which development of learning is come about through the involvement of pedagogical work.

Example:
All types of learning, skill drills and TGfU are examples of different types of teachings and the social relations displayed in the learning.

Importance:
The study of how relations emerge between the interdependent an independent elements can help to begin to develop through social aspects.

Own understanding:
short term collective decisions made in order to achieve a goal directed outcome to specific situations. Many will be present throughout a single match.

Example:
making an overlapping run to create a overloaded attack in a crossing scenario.

Importance:
implementing many different tactics makes it more difficult for the opposition to predict play and therefore, gives an advantage tactically.

Own understanding:
Motor control is the initial understanding of movement and developing efficiency and effectiveness through freeing up degrees of freedoms, whereas, skill learning is exploiting the movement to make use of advantages in the environment.

Example:
learning to swim is initially difficult, but once an efficient stroke is learned, it requires little conscious effort.

Importance:
The semi-conscious effect required to perform a useful movement in demanding situations benefits the exploitation of the environment.

Own understanding:
Dynamic systems takes into account the relationship between the environment and the athlete, more importantly the actions of both the environment and the athlete and what emerges from the actions.

Example:
Cyclists using drafting, as a teammate allows another teammate to draft off them for a more aerodynamic space for a given time.
The environment in the space allows the individual to pick up speed to overtake others.

Importance:
The relationship between the environment and the individual can help to understand the emerging actions and behaviours.
