In the study of high school basketball teams, the administrators videotaped different practices by different coaches to see how they operated. They used certain criteria to judge the performance of the players. They looked at the way the coaches presented activities and how they managed the ways the players did what they instructed Put me in Coach them to do. When the study was finished they concluded that performance in competition was adversely affected by the percentage of time coaches spent presenting material. It is important to note that practice play can easily be turned into performance.
Coaches get on their players more in practice in order to achieve results.
The study shows this correlation from practice to competition. When I took a look at my artifacts, I expected to see a representation of athletes as being not smart. In Saved by the Bell A.C. Slater is characterized as the dumb wrestler but usually had some sort of advice to give to Zack, Kelly, or Screech. He also played football and the characterization of his teammates was definitely one of dumb jocks. When I look at the study on high school practices, I think it shows how the players are very intellectual and use their own thought processes to accurately evaluate game instances to further the team goal of winning.
