Self Esteem:
Self esteem is defined as the regard a person holds for themselves- or how one sees
themself.
Some people confuse self esteem with confidence this is incorrect because if
someone has good self esteem they have good faith in their ability to do or attempt
something.
Learners with positive self esteem and efficacy (the confidence that comes with it) have
greater self confidence
It can beand willingness to attempt, participate and complete tasks set

Self Esteem:
Even when faced with difficult challenges, learners with good self esteem believe
in their own ability and that they will be successful.
People with good self esteem believe they havent reached their potential yet
rather than feeling they have failed.
They believe they will achieve skill mastery but it will take a little longer.
When learning or executing skills, many believe the level of their performance is a
judgement of them and their ability.

A player in a Volleyball game was having a terrible game. They had been set the ball a
number of times and had only made one good kill (a hit for a point), all the others had
either been blocked or had been errors. They turned to the setter and asked them not to
set them any more and that they would simply run dummy balls ones that the
opponents thought they were going to hit.Explain how the self esteem of the hitter was
affected by performance in this game.

It is dependent on (a) the activity being computed or undertaken in relation to (b) the
level of the learner.
There are many theories that describe the effect of different arousal levels on
performance including:

The inverted u hypothesis is based on the idea that there is a relationship between
arousal and performance that can be represented in the shape of an upside down U.
Theory works on the idea that arousal has an optimal point in relation to having a
positive effect on performance and either side of this point, the positive effect
decreases.

Arousal varies with the particular skill or technique being learned or executed.
For example some skills require a great deal of control like fine motor skills whilst
others require more force than control like gross motor skills.
When using the inverted U the point of optimal arousal- optimal performance can be
seen below

The relationship evident here is typical of a skill requiring force, power or strength..
Sports such as discus, shot-put and weight lifting are good examples of sports requiring
high levels of arousal.

Answer = Having attempted the trick only a couple of times and with the last one
causing injury, the gymnast would be feeling somewhat anxious heart rate,
breathing rate, even palmar hyperhidrosis (sweaty palms) can be triggered. Anxiety
affects arousal and they would be experiencing a lot of tension and reservation about
doing the trick again. Her arousal levels would be extremely elevated (high)
On the diagram of the arousal curve indicate with an 0 where the arousal curve of
the gymnasts who had done the trick before would probably be.

Models of Coaching:
Arousal, age, environment and goal setting are some of the factors that have been
covered in this section with regard to skill execution and learning.
The coach learner relationship is at the very heart of skill and technique mastery and
learning.

Models of Coaching:
Authoritarian
Democratic
Laisezz-faire
Totally in charge.
Dictator, Autocrat,
Commanding
It's their way or the
highway!!
Invites input.
Is a guiding coach open approachable
Usually a problem
solver.
The style a coach adapts in learning situations definitely has an impact on the learning of
individuals.
For example authoritarian style coaches can produce stressful environments or conditions
where learning is hindered.
On the other hand, the easy going coach provides little discipline in learning and in this
case learning can also become hindered.

Models of Coaching:
The rate of learning is dependent on the skill being attempted.
As can be seen in the last diagram some skills take longer to master
than others.
Of course links can be made between the methods and links
highlighted in this section.
For example a negative learning curve could be associated with a
pure part method also selected for extremely technical, difficult
skills.
This is a useful way of combining the methods outlined in this section
and it is a valuable approach to expand on models of coaching.

A primary school PE teacher decided to teach their pupils the long jump. They started
by making students do stationary jumps for distance from a fixed point on the ground.
First using their left foot as a take off, then their right. This was followed by sprints for
speed using a variety of distances. For example 5 metres then 10 metres and so on.
Once this was completed over a number of lessons the teacher began to instruct the
