PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS

 

PREVIOUS HISTORY

 

Definition

Previous History relates to reflecting and using information gathered from past performances.

 

Impact on Performance

It is important to take past performances or results, positive or negative, into consideration. This could be data you have gathered on a specific skill or information on a specific team or individual. This may also relate to movements or skills that you have just performed. For example, reflecting on the last overhead clear you performed during a badminton match before performing the same shot again. If the clear was successful in reaching the back tramlines then you may try to repeat the action and weight of the shot. If it was unsuccessful then you may try to apply more or less power so that it reaches your intended target or opt to play a different shot due to a lack of confidence in executing another overhead clear
