Technical Skill Developmental Points The difference between throwing and pushing (chucking) what does the different wrist action look like.  How do you prevent injuring your wrist when pushing a shot-put?  Will model getting the 2 steps for your starting position.  How close the shot-put is tucked into your neck.  The slight tilt of your head.  Using your other hand to aim for the direction you want your shotput to go to.  The follow through action so you don’t end up scew-wiff.  Not to go over the indicated line. The wrist action that is needed to throw a softball.  Standing still and running up.  Throwing not too high and not too low (wanting distance not height) The scissor action  using your legs to get over the high jump.  The different body movement flow.  The difference between these.  The test to see if you run in from the left or right hand side.  Desired place to land on the mat. Frosby Flop? Landing with 2 balanced feet in the long jump.  Balance from your thigh muscles and hand positions so you don’t fall backwards.   Long distance running and pace.  Breathing techniques and arm movements. Take offs for sprint starting of races. Baton changeover techniques.  Hand up or down and the difference.  What is the increased chances of dropping the baton with a hand that is up?  Starting to run slowly before the baton reaches you and keeping momentum.  Body stance and tilted head (looking backwards)  Position of 4 runners.   The fastest person last, 2nd fastest 1st and the other 2 doesn’t matter too much.

Note Taking and Note Making

We take notes to help us remember information we read or hear. Sometimes we need to copy exactly such as a quote or reference that someone else has said. Taking notes is short - key words, pictures, symbols, text language even. Taking notes is a personal preference - no two people take notes exactly the same.

Key Idea - Short, sweet and to the point!

Choose one track or field event - find three YouTube clips that clearly model the correct technique, (remember what you have learnt about reliable websites).
