Impact of accuracy on performance - Impact of physical factors on performance - Skills - Higher Physical Education Revision - BBC Bitesize (2024)

This factor looks at control of movement in a particular direction, or at a particular target. Does someone (or the ball, shuttle, etc) go where they are intended to? If so, this could help performance in a range of different situations.

Accuracy has its biggest impact in goal/point scoring situations. If a shot is accurate and correctly hits its intended target, the outcome is the greatest with points being added to the board.

Question

Using the 3-step process, how might accuracy impact performance in hockey?

An example answer could be...

1. Accuracy can really help your performance when taking a penalty in hockey.
2. This means if you are aiming for the top left hand corner, you can hit it precisely into this corner of the goal.
3. This leads to your shot being out of the reach of the goalkeeper and you scoring.
