WHY IT WAS EFFECTIVE: The reason this practice was so effective in improving my round-off was because of how it broke down each little step. Picking out anything I was struggling with and perfecting it before moving onto the next thing. In particular, I broke down the steps and placed them into the three categories I have in my rubric (approach, performing and landing). The 'performing' section helped the most, as I slowly built up to the full movement, but could do it in a more controlled environment. Without the momentum from the approach distracting me from the correct placement my body should be in for the actual movement. Additionally, I also practiced the landing on the air track as I found that the extra bounce allowed me to have more time in the air, causing my feet to come together before touching the ground. Creating a softer and more balanced landing position.

WHY IT HAD THE LEAST IMPACT ON IMPROVING MY PERFORMANCE: This training session had the least amount of impact on my performance, as the varied environments that I chose to do my round-off in confused my previous knowledge on how to perform the movement. As I needed to adapt to each environment quickly before moving onto another, (which had different levels of cushioning on the ground) then for some of the exercises I was adding elements. Specifically the forward roll which threw my sense of orientation during the landing as I was straight away moving into a new movement that I hadn't practiced well beforehand. Overall, this training session didn't focus enough on the small tweaks I needed to make at this point during the unit to my round-off. But instead all my energy and effort was put into adjusting the movement (in particular the landing and approach) every time I changed environments, which wasn't helping me achieve my final goal in the best way possible.
