Coach showing technique or ‘perfect model’
Showing a video
Easy to understand but harder for difficult skills
Helps visulate skill
Effective at early stages of learning
What is verbal guidance?

Provided during performance and ideal for open skills
Effective used in conjunction with other forms of guidance
For advanced performers
What is manual guidance?
Using physical contact to help performer complete a skill
Gives ‘feel’ for movement, but not always practical
Used with learners of all abilities
Learner gain kinaesetic sense of movement
Build confidence
