Strength
The performer demonstrates skill in many different attributes of his game. This can be
seen in particular by his open stick slap passing. He is consistently fluid with the
execution resulting in the ball reaching its intended target accurately and efficiently
without fail. This is partially to be expected as the performer is in the autonomous phase
of learning which is the final stage of learning, where performances have become
consistent, fluid and aesthetically pleasing. The motor programmes that are involved are
well learned and are stored in the long-term memory. This allows the performer to focus
more on the opposition and tactics. He manages to perform the skill well since he can
generate power whilst maintaining control. A high left elbow and bent knees allow him to
keep his head up and scan the field for potential passes or oncoming defenders. As a
result of this he is able to move the ball on to a teammate quickly whilst being aware of
the opposition's position allowing himself time to execute the skill or anticipate the
moves of the defender and react to them which again links to the performer being at the
autonomous phase of learning for this specific skill as he can select the appropriate
stimuli whilst negating inappropriate stimuli leading to fluidity of movement and
increased passing accuracy. This is because the performer has knowledge of which
stimuli to attend to and which to ignore allowing him to ignore irrelevant information and
avoid attentional wastage.
Strength
He has consistently been demonstrating strong aerial passing. This is due to the
performer's posture since he is staying low to the ground. He can maintain this position
for the duration of the skill as a result of his powerful Rectus femoris, Gluteus maximus,
Latissimus dorsi and Biceps femoris. This allows him to explosively move from a static
almost squat position into the rotation to provide the power to propel the ball through the
air across the pitch. Dynamic Biceps brachii, Anterior deltoids and Pectoralis major
allow the performer to generate power which can be transferred through the ball to
transfer the ball through the air across the pitch. This skill is beneficial to be adept at,
since if properly executed means that the ball cannot be intercepted so possession is
retained. The performer is in the autonomous phase of learning for this skill which can
be seen via the fluency and consistency of his performance. The pass is routinely on
target and made at the most effective points of the game allowing his team to be on the
front foot whilst also disrupting the formation of the defensive team as they have to now
defend paying consideration to the extra dimension added by the aerial ball. This means
that his decision making and timing of the movement has to be impeccable to effectively
discombobulate the opposition. The motor programmes that are involved in the
technique are built up and are stored in the long term memory showing that the
