What is mechanical guidance?
A coach using equipment to support an athlete
Give two example of mechanical guidance
A rig in trampolining
Coaching belts in gymnastics
Tackle pads in rugby
What are the advantages of visual guidance?
Knows what the skill should look like
What are the disadvantages of visual guidance?
If in the form of the video cannot ask questions

What are the advantages of verbal guidance?
The coach can explain in detail
Can give the performer guidance whilst they are completing the skills
Can be used during competition
What are the disadvantages of verbal guidance?
Difficult for beginners to understand
Can’t always be hear
What are the advantages of manual guidance?

Increase the safety of skills that may not be safe for a performer to try independently
What are the disadvantages of manual guidance?
Performer can become reliant on the support
Not possible for a lot of sports
What are the advantages of mechanical guidance?
The performer can get a feel of what the skill should be like
Increase the safety of skills that may not be safe for a performer to try independently
What are the disadvantages of mechanical guidance?
Performer can become reliant on the support
Not possible for a lot of sports
What is quantitative data?
Information about quantities, which can be measured. Eg. distances, times, shot on target
What is qualitative data?
Information about qualities, difficult to measure. For example how hard an athlete felt they were working
