SKASC15 Apply performance analysis techniques to a coaching programme
Overview Performance analysis is an important component of a coaching programme for participants in many sports and activities. To be effective, performance analysis has to be properly integrated into the participants’ programme. It is vital that coaches analyse the participants current levels of performance, design and agree aims for performance analysis, select and plan activities and resources that will enable the achievement of these aims, assess and manage the risks involved. They should also integrate performance analysis effectively into the rest of the programme, directly coach the participants in the application of performance analysis, evaluate and review the participants’ progress, monitor and refine the performance analysis components of the programme. Coaches must also take account of guidelines from national governing bodies and their own prior experience when designing and delivering performance analysis practices.
