Movement and Resilience Worksheet

Read the scenario, then use evidence from it and your knowledge of movement skills and resilience to answer the questions. Resilience is not simply pushing through: it can include adapting, communicating, resting, and seeking support.

Scenario: The changing course

A group is practising a course that combines a short run, a low hurdle, a change of direction around a marker, and a pass to a partner. The aim is to complete each round with safe technique and accurate passing—not simply to finish first. After the first round, the ground becomes damp and one marker shifts. Maia clips the hurdle and the pass goes wide. She feels frustrated, so she pauses, checks that she is unhurt, and tells her partner she needs a moment. The group moves the marker to a safer spot, agrees to shorten their strides on the damp section, and practises the pass while stationary. On the next round, Maia keeps her balance, changes direction safely, and completes the pass. The group discusses what helped and decides to keep the safer adjustments.

Read the situation

Use details from the scenario when you explain your answers.

1.Name two different movement skills used on the course, and give one scenario detail that shows each skill.

2.Which action is the clearest example of Maia responding resiliently to a setback?

She ignores the damp ground and tries to finish faster.
She pauses, checks she is unhurt, communicates, and adapts her next attempt.
She blames her partner for the wide pass.
She carries on without telling anyone she is frustrated.

3.The group showed resilience by changing the course setup and practising the pass while stationary. True or false? Explain your choice in one sentence.

4.Match each group response with the most likely purpose.

Move the shifted marker
Practise passing while stationary
Agree to shorten strides on the damp section

Adjust movement to suit the surface
Reduce a hazard and make the route safer
Focus on accuracy before adding movement

5.Complete this safety cue for the damp section: “Use shorter strides and keep your changes of direction .”

6.Explain how shortening strides on the damp section could help Maia maintain control. Include one movement-related reason.

7.The group decides to keep the safer adjustments for later rounds. Explain why this may be a better decision than returning immediately to the original course setup.

8.Write one specific, respectful thing Maia’s partner could say after the wide pass that would encourage Maia without putting pressure on her.

9.Suggest one next practice step that would help the group improve passing accuracy while keeping the damp-ground adjustments in place. Explain why it would help.
