Take Home Activities The following activities can be done at home as part of your study in preparation for the HSC: Activity 1: Psychological Strategies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjg698u2mvo (Selective attention task) Watch the video clip and attempt to count how many times the white team passes the ball. Answer the following questions related to attentional skill and concentration: 1. Define attentional skill/concentration. 2. How might selective attention during a sporting performance impact both positively and negatively? Give specific examples. 3. Why is attentional skill and concentration beneficial in managing the anxiety of an athlete? Activity 2: Supplementation Read the case study on the following page and answer the question below: Analyse the appropriateness of supplementation for the performance of this elite athlete. Provide specific examples to support your response. Name: Tom Green. Residence: U.S. Olympic Training Centre, San Diego, Ca. Sport: Track and Field. College: University of South Dakota (97'-02') Events: 100 and 200-meter dashes. Personal Best: 10.10/20.77. Accomplishments: 8-time All-American, 7th in the 100 m dash at the 2002 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, member of '02 World Cup 4x100, '02 NACAC U-25 gold and silver medallist, '02 Drake Relays 100 m champion, both state and University of South Dakota athlete of the year titles, six school records (three all-time state records). Goals: Becoming a member of the 2004/2008 Olympic teams in the 100 m dash and 4x100 relay. To threaten the current 100-meter world record. My Full Training Program For Sprinting The program I use emphasises and creates the following: strength, flexibility, power and speed. Sprinting is a difficult combination of aggression, relaxation, technique and efficiency. The 100 meters is sometimes labelled as the easiest most complicated event in sport! And contrasting bodybuilding, gaining too much size can become a negative. Generally speaking world-class sprinters are not that large, anywhere from 155-180lbs. In fact, what's interesting is that some sprinters do not lift weights at all! But for those of us who aren't as genetically gifted, the ultimate goal is having incredible strength-to-weight ratios, lean body mass and a well-developed CNS (central nervous system) for fast reaction and the ability to explode on command. Unfortunately having too much bulk, especially throughout your chest and shoulders, can significantly decrease your ability to relax and control what your body is doing at high speeds. Relaxation is important to 36
maintain this top-end speed; it's by far been one of the hardest things for me to overcome. Throughout my high school career, I would spend all year lifting weights, mainly upper body, and then just run in the actual track meets. My idea of practice was getting in some abs, heavy curls and bench press. So I literally competed myself into shape. College was a different story; I learned real quickly that even though a big chest looks good, it would NOT help you sprint to your fullest potential. I ended up shedding the chest and grew some legs. Training Seasons Depending on the person or specific event, a track and field "season" can wind up being very long. It's anywhere from 8-11 months depending on one's indoor and outdoor goals. There was a point in my career where I had been both training and competing for 20 consecutive months! It was a gruelling task that predictably concluded in a major injury... a pectoralis major tear ripping off the right shoulder bone. Surgery and four screws later, I was successfully on my way to recovery. The surgeon and staff at the Olympic Training Centre were absolutely amazing throughout my recovery process. At three weeks post-op, they had me five weeks ahead of schedule. Training Three Times a Day Currently the program involves training three times a day on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; Saturday is reserved for a single specific workout. The time frame I personally use is the following: 1st Workout - 10 a.m.... 20-45 minute active warm-up, max velocity sprint mechanics, plyometrics/bounding, and a cool-down of 10-15 minutes. 2nd Workout - 3 p.m.... 20 minute warm up, main workout/general conditioning, 10-15 minute cool down. 3rd Workout - 5 p.m... Weights Saturday workout is typically late morning or early afternoon. Activity 3: Characteristics of the Learner Observe the image. Explain how hereditary factors such as somatotypes affect the acquisition and performance of specific skills. Provide examples to support your response. Use the table to draft your plan below How does it affect? Why does it affect? Specific examples 37
