Cooperating and Competing

 

Definition:

Co-operating is where you work together with others to achieve a common goal.Competing is where you strive to win something by defeating others who are also trying to win.

 

Impact on Performance:

Cooperating in volleyball by playing using three touches to set up a spike and win the point. Or passing and moving to get up the court and score a goal in handball. Cooperating can also be used to learn new skills. In table tennis my partner and I helped each other by feeding the ball so we could practice our shots. For example a “hand feed” or “dart feed” can be used when learning a back hand push shot. The main aim is to help make learning easier for a partner or team mate so they can practice the skill to a competent level without added pressure.Competing- playing a smash into the open area of a badminton court to win the point, or dipping as you cross the line in 100m to win in a photo finish.
