INTERNAL & EXTERNAL FEEDBACK

Feedback is information you receive about your performance helping alter performance of a skill and make it better. There are two types:

Internal (or kinesthetic)

This feedback is what you feel during or after you have performed or practiced the skill. Your feelings provide you with information about your performance and can be very valuable in helping you to analyses it. For example, you might say "I felt that I sliced across the ball in my golf swing, and the ball veered off to the left.“

External

There are many different examples of external feedback

Verbal - given by a teacher/observer after watching your performance. Telling you points to improve and points you have done well.

Visual - watch model performance, or video, and watch your own performance to see strengths and weaknesses.

Knowledge of results - scores and results or where the ball goes.
