Performance Feedback in Sport
15 cards
Card 1
Question: What is intrinsic feedback in sport performance?
Answer: Feedback that comes from the performer themselves—how they feel they played or executed a skill (e.g., feeling a vault went well).
Card 2
Question: When might intrinsic feedback be limited or unreliable?
Answer: For beginners, because they have limited experience to judge performance and may be overly self-critical.
Card 3
Question: What is extrinsic feedback?
Answer: External feedback given by others during or after practice, sessions, or games (e.g., coach or manager comments).
Card 4
Question: Why is extrinsic feedback especially beneficial for beginners?
Answer: Because beginners usually have less experience than coaches, so external guidance helps correct details and aid development.
Card 5
Question: Give two examples of extrinsic feedback during a game.
Answer: A manager shouting instructions to a winger about positioning; a coach giving tactical advice from the sideline.
Card 6
Question: What is concurrent feedback?
Answer: Feedback given during the match, activity, or training session.
Card 7
Question: Can concurrent feedback be intrinsic, extrinsic, or both?
Answer: Yes — concurrent feedback can be intrinsic, extrinsic, or a combination of both.
Card 8
Question: Give an example of intrinsic concurrent feedback.
Answer: An experienced high jumper adjusting their run-up during competition because they feel something is off.
Card 9
Question: What is terminal feedback?
Answer: Feedback given after the event (after the match, game, or competition).
Card 10
Question: Why is terminal feedback often more detailed than concurrent feedback?
Answer: Because there is more time after the event to analyze and explain performance.
