Decision Making
“Decision making is an action or process of choosing a preferred
option or course of action from a set of alternatives. It forms the basis of
all deliberate and voluntary behaviour”.
Quality decision making is a critical skill in sports. The quality of your decisions has a massive impact on your results. Experience plays a significant part in the decision making process such as your skill repertoire as do many
other sub factors such as concentration and level of arousal.

We need to understand the information processing system and the impact on decision making.
• Our brains are human processors of information. This processing of information is used to help us analyse how skills are performed , and also to help us learn.
• If you are unable to process information you will be unable to make adjustments to performance based on the information received.
• Being able to identify external factors which could limit success, and then make conscious decisions to overcome these scenarios must be learnt. This will result in faster decision making and motor responses in open play.
How does the information Processing system work?
Input information •from our senses•Cues from external sources
Brain judges/sorts input information
Deems what is important
Disregards noise
Distractions
Makes sense of sensory input through cognitive thought.
This prevents brain overload.
Decision MakingOnce sensory input has been processed a decision to cope with this scenario is made.
Output then occurs
Nervous impulses to the muscles and motor response occurs.
CONTINUOUS CYCLE
Memory
• Short term memory
Errors retained to make corrections when next executed. Aspects of good play briefly retained to replicate.
• Long term Memory
Acquired knowledge of sub routines gained through practice and play retained. You can then draw upon past experiences to create a faster decision and motor response.
Novice
Can only process 1 or 2 points
Slower to process info and anticipate
Too many points cause error and
overload
Do not have past experience and
knowledge to inform decision making
Slower motor responses and
decision making
Automatic
Faster anticipation and cue recognition
Can be selective with information input to
ignore what is irrelevant
An array of past experiences to utilise to in any pressure scenario
Can concentrate on more than one piece of info at
one time
Swift decision making
A tennis player sees an opponent serve the ball and prepares to return it. Reaction time is the brief interval of time it takes for the player to determine how to play the ball before he
or she ever begins to move.
An athlete's ability to react shows how quickly and effectively her or she can make decisions and initiate actions. Key strategies can accelerate the decision making process to give
athletes an edge in competitive situations.Delays in responses can make the difference between winning and losing.
The speed and accuracy with which eachdecision is made is influenced by several
factors, including:• The number of decisions that
need to be made;• the number of responses players
have to choose from;• the time available to make the
decision;• and finally, the costs associatedwith making incorrect decisions.
For effective decisions we make use of
SENSES PAST EXPERIENCE OUR ABILITY TO ‘READ’ WHAT NEXT.
1. Decisions on FOCUS (Attention Selective)
2. Decisions about what the information means
3. Decisions about what to do now
TRIPLE DECISION MAKING PROCESS
“Experience is the thing that allows forthe situation assessment that is at the
heart of intuitive decision making.Experience allows us to recognize a
situation as typical--that is, within ourrange of understanding. Although eachsituation is unique, experience allowsus to recognize similarities or patternsand to understand what those patterns
typically mean. If we have sufficientexperience (and have learned by it) wedo not need to reason our way through
a situation, but instead simply knowhow to act appropriately. In general,
the greater the experience, the greater the decision making capacity”

Reduced errors as players respond effectively to cues in the game to make the correct judgements and can ignore possible
distractions.
Swift decisions result in higher success rate, good timing and
fluidity in movements.
Fast decisions allows a varied stroke repertoire to
outmanoeuvre opponents
Good perception and able to play the right shot at the right time
Decisions more spontaneous as a player has strong
belief in their ability
POSITIVE impact of good decision making on performance
ImpactNegative
Recall of past experiences limited impacting decisons and judgments in a "live performance"
Poor attention selection (Focusing
on what is not important)
Inability to read the game and solve
problems
Miss vital cues in the game which
would direct attention impacting
antiicpation.
Frequent, repetitive mistakes
Confusion from brain overload.
Decsion not instinctive, delayed as it take longer to
process info.
