• Group Management
• Presence and Attitude
• Demonstration
The ability to effectively articulate and instruct the mechanics of each movement
- correct answer Teaching
, The ability to distinguish good from poor movement mechanics and identify both gross and subtle faults
whether the athlete is in motion or static
- correct answer Seeing
What are the two types of faults
- correct answer Static and Dynamic
The points at which the athlete is not moving, even briefly
- correct answer Static
When do static positions usually occur?
- correct answer near the end ranges of motion, either in the starting, receiving or finishing position - or
when there is a brief pause or decreased speed due to a change in direction
Why are dynamic faults more difficult to identify
- correct answer because of the decreased time for assessment
The difficulty in seeing dynamic faults increases as:
- correct answer • the athlete moves more quickly
• the faults become more subtle
The ability to facilitate better mechanics for an athlete using visual, verbal, and/or tactile cues. This
includes the ability to triage (prioritize) faults in order of importance, which requires and understanding
of how multiple faults are related
- correct answer Correcting
If capacity is limited in either ________ or ________ a trainer's capacity in correcting will also be weak
- correct answer teaching or seeing
Correcting athletes relies on the trainer's ability to:
- correct answer 1. use successful cues
2. know multiple corrections for each fault
3. triage faulty movement
