Content
This unit introduces students to principles of athlete development and performance management, including concepts related to athlete profiling and benchmarking, performance pathways, individualised support, coaching and training prescription, and athlete support services. The role of sport science and its respective disciplines will be evaluated in the context of what is required in a broad, holistic and integrated high performance program. Students will be challenged to develop their own sport science strategies and to identify the necessary components and processes required to implement a high performance program.
