Whole – part – wholeWhole – part – whole

• Where you look at a whole action, isolate and practice one part, then return to the whole action

Eg. Swimming Front Crawl

- Whilst performing the front crawl, the teacher said my leg kick was inefficient because I kick from the knee rather than the hip. Using this feedback, I took a float and worked just on my leg action. Once I had changed my leg kick action I then returned to the full stroke.

Gradual Build UpGradual Build Up

• Where you start off with part of the skill and gradually add more to it until you perform the whole skill. (good for learning difficult or dangerous skills)

- When I was learning the backflip, I started by trying a backward roll. The next step was to do the backflip from a trampette onto a safety mat with the teacher holding a jumper round my waist for support. The next step was the same but without the jumper, but with the teacher still helping, then with no support. The next stage was from a bench to a mat, then finally a backflip from the ground.
