QUALITY OF PERFORMANCE

 

EFFORT

 

Definition

The amount of work you are putting into the performance in order to be successful.

 

Impact on Performance

In basketball, applying effort in passing during a performance can ensure that the timing, weight and accuracy of the pass are successful. Lack of effort may lead to a mistimed pass, the pass falling short of the target, or not being on the correct trajectory to the receiver.  When training for an activity, effort is required to ensure that you are working at the correct levels to bring about improvement.  Lack of effort can lead to skill level plateau where no improvements are made.
