SOFTWARE IS DEVELOPED THROUGH Peer Charting
“Researchers have long known that the best way to understand a new concept is to explain it to someone else. To quote Seneca, a famous Roman philosopher, ‘What we teach, we learn.’ Scientists have labeled this learning strategy, The Protégé Effect.”
The Match Chart Collection is a tool that brings this ancient wisdom to the tennis competitor. Match charting provides innovative methods for athletes in group tennis sessions to engage in a deeper understanding of the mental and emotional complexities of competitive tennis.
The Following Lists Advantages of Match-Charting Skill Sets:
- Students who are charting and teaching (explaining their results) accept and retain more than the athletes who are hitting. Why? Because they’re focused on the details of the match while the hitters are typically focused on the outcome.
- Match charting provides non-threatening data acceptance.
- Researchers have found, student-athletes enlisted to teach others to work harder to understand the intricacies of the game, recall it more accurately, and apply it more effectively.
- Athletes who chart their peers develop a higher tennis IQ and EQ.
- While charting, athletes increase their self-awareness and solution-based problem-solving skills.
- Students gain significant insights into designing customized game plans.
- Charting skills enhance the athlete’s opponent awareness skills.
- Students gain confidence by charting, which reinforces their capacity for handling pressure.
- Interpreting match data requires tactical dialog between students, which is an essential interactive learning skill.
- Peer charting elicits teamwork and cooperative learning, which makes charting a powerful instructional tool for group sessions. It exposes the gaps in your athletes match awareness. Apply peer learning with the revolutionary Match Chart Collection by Frank Giampaolo to analyze performance and skyrocket your competitive practices.
Athletes don’t learn the mental skills by grooving strokes. They learn them through being
exposed to analytics.
