SCRIPT WITH COMPLETE ANSWERS
◉ Name the 6 different capacity abilities to coach Crossfit?
Answer: 1- teaching
2- seeing
3- correcting
4- group management
5- peesence & attitude
6- demonstration
◉ Teaching
Answer: Effectively articulate and instruct the mechanics of each
movement, focus on major points of performance before more subtle
and nuanced ones, change instruction based on the athletes needs
and capacity and teach athletes how to improve poor positions and
movement patterns.
◉ Why are the 6 different capacity abilities important?
Answer: An effective trainer has the ability to safeguard health and
improve performance for a client beyond what they could do alone
,◉ Knowledge in fitness related areas
Answer: Ability to accurately convey as much knowledge as possible
to others.
◉ Describe Teaching
Answer: The ability to effectively articulate and instruct the
mechanics of each movement, including the ability to focus on major
points of performance before more subtle or nuanced ones. It also
includes the ability to change instruction based on the athletes
needs and capacity.
◉ Effective Communication
Answer: Be able to change communication style to meet the capacity
of the student and change strategies until the athlete succeeds.
◉ Describe Seeing
Answer: The ability to discern good from poor movement mechanics
and identity both gross and subtle faults whether the athlete is in
motion or static
◉ Assess the effectiveness of teaching and communication
Answer: Determining whether an athlete meets performance
expectations.
,◉ Name where static faults usually occur?
Answer: Usually brief pauses, usually starting, receiving or finish
positions for example:
Set up on deadlift
Bottom of squat
Easier to see an assess
◉ Teaching as much as neccessary
Answer: Reduce and simplify body of knowledge to one or two most
critical points.
◉ Name where dynamic faults occur?
Answer: Often high speed which makes difficult to see, for example:
1- pressing to early on push press
2- not reaching full hip extension in the drive phase of a clean
3- initiating the squat with knees
◉ Seeing
Answer: Ability to discern good from poor movement mechanics and
identify both gross and subtle faults with athletes in motion and
static.
◉ Name some effective ways of 'seeing' faults?
, Answer: 1- use slow mo app/ internet video
2- methodically survey athletes for one fault at a time I.e. in. Push
jerk: first hip extension, second weight in heels, third pressing early
◉ Describe 'Correcting'
Answer: The ability to facilitate better mechanics for an athlete
using visual, verbal and/or tactile cues. This includes the ability to
triage (priorities) faults in order of importance, which requires an
understanding of how multiple faults are related.
◉ Static Faults
Answer: When the athlete is not moving, even briefly. In the starting,
receiving and finishing positions.
◉ Dynamic Faults
Answer: When the athlete is moving between static positions.
◉ What trainer's abilities does correcting hinge on?
Answer: 1- use successful cues
2- know multiple corrections for each fault
3- triage faulty movement
4- balance criticism with praise
