4 1.1 What KEY FACTOR ANALYSIS (KFA) is? The Key Factor Analysis (KFA) it s a tool used nowadays for obtaining the key aspects most important that determine the success of a tactic or a technique in opposition sports, from ball sports to combat sports. Being considered essential for the effective execution of plays and technical movements, the main application of the results of the KFA is the use of the key factors in the teaching-learning process and even in high performance training. The KFA involves a process of 4 phases: 1. Determination of "action models" to study. It is movements and actions used in competition. A library of video is created with several examples of the same successful action, executed by different athletes. Statistical analysis is the main tool to determine the movements to study. 2. Video-Analysis. The action sequence described, looking for common factors among the different versions of the same technique, for example, a position, a particular 4 relationship between the bodies of the fighters, a combat situation, etc. It also contrasts with videos where the action was not successful, establishing whether the common factor was absent, suggesting that this is a key factor. 3. List of the key factors. Common aspects in successful cases, and absent in unsuccessful cases are listed and described for each action studied. 4. Creation of working documents, that summarize the findings of the KFA, same as have two main applications: a) Technical charts, listing the factors as keywords that help simplify the intervention of the coaches with their students to spend less time in the instructions and feedback to students, increasing their effectiveness to be as close as possible to the real situation in competition. b) Check lists, useful in evaluating athletes during the execution of movements, ideal for the use of video analysis as a tool for tracking the athletes themselves and even for the analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of potential opponents (scouting). The technical charts contained in this document for the technical program Coaches Course Level 1 of the United World Wrestling were made by implementing the steps described above.

5 1.2 DISCOVERY GAMES Discovery Games are based on a modern teaching model for sports known as Teaching Games for Understanding ( TGfU ). In this model, games are used for facilitate and guide the apprentice thinking. The Discovery Games approach implies three steps as follows: a. PLAY A GAME, FIRST TIME b. PAUSE FOR GUIDED DISCOVERY Organize the game (keep safety) Introduce the goal of the game Provide as less information as possible about how to succeed the game Using questions to get the players inferring the key factors to succeed the game Ask players to play again using what they discovered The initial step is the very first approach to the game, which involves a wrestling related situation. The coach asks learners to meet a target without guide them how, a trial. Once the apprentice has experienced the task, the second step implies that the coach pauses to help students analyze what happened and, through questions, get students approach the technical solution. Immediately apprentices play again (step c.), now with technical guidance from the analysis. As wrestling is a sport where the competitor must be able to make decisions in fractions of a second, this methodological approach is optimal for learners to become actively involved in their own learning of the fundamentals of wrestling, as well as enriching the game itself with the addition of questions, which promote the participation and integration of the student to the group. c. PLAY THE SAME GAME, SECOND TIME Players have to solve the game with better technical skills 5

6 1.3 TEACHING OF BASIC ACROBATICS (Pages 20 to 24) In this document, there have been added charts for the teaching of 5 basic acrobatic elements. Teaching acrobatics with proper technique, in a progressive way and taking care the safety of the participants is also a key point in the United World Wrestling programs, such as Wrestle Right, therefore it has huge importance in this document. The teaching steps are progressive methodological proposals. The coach can also use other resources (equipment or other exercises) based on his/her experience and availability of equipment. However for the Level 1 Course Evaluation, participants will be requested to use at least the suggested steps, being able to implement alternative steps. Each chart has the following elements: 1) Name of the movement 2) Pictures of the key points 3) List of the key points 4) Listed exercises of the teaching progression During United World Wrestling Level 1 Courses, coaches will be asked to develop as many teaching steps as possible of a single movement in a Micro-Teaching format lasting around 4 to 10 minutes. However, in real practice, it is evident that coaches shall teach this steps along several training sessions even weeks. 6

7 1.4 HOW TO USE KEY FACTOR ANALYSIS CHARTS OF WRESTLING TECHNIQUE (pages 25 to 36) The wrestling techniques in this document are explained in three phases: SET-UP, ATTACK and FINAL/TRANSITION. Each chart of this document contains specific information to help Level 1 Coaches achieving the following three tasks: TASK 1: Provide simple explanations to the learners. Using Key Points that have been illustrated through pictures, signs and arrows, with a specific list in each column. Each Key Point has a Key Phrase that summarizes several of the technical details. The pdf version of this document has a link in the title of each chart that gives access to a video at Dartfish.tv TASK 2: Check comprehension through questioning. Suggested questions and possible answers have been listed (see the table on top of the next page as reference). 7

8 The coach asks: (Q.) What ties am I using to make CONTACT? Answer from the learners (A.) Head and elbow tie Q. Which is the height of my stance when I make PRESSURE? A. Medium stance Q. Which must be the position of the feet when making PRESSURE? A. Staggered, one forward and one back Q. Why is that useful? A. To stay in balance when making PRESSURE This first two tasks are closely linked to achieve the INTRODUCTION OF A NEW TECHNIQUE in a brief and clear way that promotes active thinking of the learners. The following are examples steps of the procedure: a) Name the technique (e.g. I am going to show you the Snap ). b) Demonstrate the complete movement (it is the coach who decides how many times and from how many different angles he/she is going to show in order to get one general image of the movement) c) Break down the technique into Key Points: Mention the Key Phrase of the point that the coach wants to explain. The Key Point and the Key Phrase indicate what to do (e.g. The first Key Point is CONTACT AND PRESSURE ), showing all the elements surrounding the Key point (e.g. Collar and elbow tie, medium stance, right foot steps forward, head to head contact) without giving details of all of those. Emphasize the technical details and link them to the Key Phrase: The technical details indicate how to do it. It is recommended to make this through the use of question. Examples: Repeat procedure c) with the next Key point, and so on. d) Summarize and Review Key Points by the use of questions (once the whole explantion ended): Ask for the Key Point (e.g.. Q. Wich was the fisrt Key Point? A. Contact and pressure ). Ask for the details using the Word HOW (e.g.. Q. How we make this CONTACT? Allow several learners to answer: A. With collar and elbow tie, medium stance, one foot steps forward so we don t loose balance when pushing. 8

9 TASK 3: Use positive feedback when detecting technical mistakes while learners try new techniques or parts of them. Two columns have been set on the right side of each chart, this will help coaches change the way they deliver information when they detect a technical mistake. The two columns are used in sequence as follows: a) Observe learner s technical execution to detect technical Mistakes, based on Key points and their details. This mistakes are the omission of some technical detail, for example: during the execution of the Snap: the learner b) stays on his feet without making pressure to the partner that has fallen to the mat. This mistake is in the column titled: If the learner c) Provide positive feedback, this means: telling the learner what to do instead of saying at loud the mistake he/she did. Example: Antonia, when you pull, follow your partner to the mat and apply pressure This phrase is in the column titled: use this positive feedback. 9
