subtle faults whether athlete is in motion or static
Static Faults - ✔✔faults that occur near end ranges of motion- starting, receiving, or finishing-
Dynamic Faults - ✔✔athlete moving btw the static positions- ex. not reaching full hip extension in drive

, Ability to correct depends on (4 things) - ✔✔use successful cues, know multiple corrections for each

Function of a cue - ✔✔to help athlete execute perfect mechanics, NOT to perfectly describe the
mechanics of the movement
Qualities of a good cue - ✔✔short, specific, actionable
3 steps to developing a good cue - ✔✔1. identify fault 2. identify what is out of place 3. give direction to
that body part
Verbal cue - ✔✔tell specific instruction
Visual cue - ✔✔create contrasting images btw current & desired positioning
Tactile cure - ✔✔use physical targets to achieve proper mechanics
Triaging faults - ✔✔assigning urgency to faults, ordering based on severity of deviation from ideal &
athlete's capacity relative to the task
Group management - ✔✔ability to organize and manage both at a micro level (class) and macro level
(gym); managing time well, organization of space, equipment and participants, adhere to schedule etc.
Presence & attitude - ✔✔ability to create a positive and engaging learning environment
Demonstration - ✔✔the ability to provide athletes w/ an accurate visual example
