Content

This unit introduces students to the fundamental knowledge and skills of a performance analyst. Students will learn about different types of performance analysis, the role of the performance analyst and the most important aspects of the performance analysis process. Students will be supported to acquire the essential practical skills related to the use of video technology and performance analysis software. Students will also learn how to identify indicators of performance and how to effectively provide feedback to athletes and coaches. On completion of this unit, students will be able to complete an accurate notational analysis of a sport performance, interpret the results and create feedback that would be considered to be useful to a coach.
