Using YouTube or another site, find and upload an instructional video for a particular motor skill you are familiar with. What aspects of the video exhibit proper motor skill instruction? What aspects of the video demonstrate improper or limited motor skill instruction? Provide specific examples and explain your reasoning. Focus more on how the instruction is delivered, not necessarily the knowledge of the instructor.
In any motor skill, the main aim of an individual is to get used to the repetition of the task he is performing. In many ways, the skills can be adopted, and an individual can get used to them. The video under discussion explains how the kids are trying to get used to proper sidestepping motor skills over the cones. The main aim of this discussion is to help understand the way through which the proper motor skill implementation could be performed.
It is known that in every sport, there are some minor as well as major motor skills adaptations required. For example, in football, there is a requirement for motor skills, but not as much as is required in karate and gymnasium. In the current video, the kids are getting trained to the sidestepping motor skill properly, which is highly helpful in a number of daily life activities. In the gymnasium, motor skills are developed through this kind of activities. The instructions are straightforward and follow the requirements for side skipping. One child is perfectly performing the sidestepping while the other one is on the training stage. The trainer is available for their ease, and his moves are highly helpful for the kids.
The instructions provided in this video are that the person who is training was demonstrating himself to perform; it is a positive and highly effective way to help the trainees. It was also observed that sidestepping over the cones was required, but everyone tried it beside the cones.
