What is Performance Analysis? “Creating a Valid and reliable record of performance by means of systematic observations that can be analysed with a view to facilitating change ” Only 30-50% can be recalled after observing a live performance!
Performance Analysis Aims to capture, analyse and evaluate key components relating to performance and provide concise feedback to inform future practice. Performance analysis may help talent identification and there are links with elite sport (e.g. EIS) Qualitative and Quantitative approaches to performance assessment
