USING VIDEO MODELING WITH VIDEO FEEDBACK AS AN INTERVENTION TO INCREASE THE PERFORMANCE ACCURACY OF SOCCER SKILLS

Abstract

This study evaluated the effects of video modeling in combination with video feedback to enhance the performance of three soccer skills. Two female competitive soccer players, 10-11-years-old, participated in this study. A multiple baseline across behaviors design was used to evaluate the effects of video modeling and video feedback. During baseline participants were video recorded performing the three target skills. During intervention, video modeling and video feedback were given to each player after she performed the target skill. Specifically, the player viewed a video of another player correctly performing the same skill, while she simultaneously viewed a video of herself performing the skill next to the other player. The results indicated that video modeling in combination with video feedback increased both participants’ skill performance from baseline on the three targeted soccer skills. Social validity measures indicated that both participants liked the procedure and felt comfortable performing two out of three skills accurately.
