They are trying to help Janice, Mike, and Donny perform their skills better. But not all of them are using good techniques for providing feedback to athletes. They should think a little more about what the purposes are for giving feedback and how feedback should be given. Note that error identification is not listed. Error identification information should only be included in feedback statements when it is used to set up the skill correction information that is coming immediately.
Lets face it, most athletes know when they have made a mistake.
That is what error correction feedback is meant to accomplish. The athlete is given information that will help them perform the skill better or execute a strategy more properly. Feedback can also serve as a form of motivation by giving direction to future attempts at the skill. It can help athletes focus their efforts and also lets the athlete know that you care about their level of performance and want to help them improve. Feedback serves as a form of reinforcement by providing athletes with information about their progress towards goals that they are trying to achieve.
