1. Foundations of Effective Training: Teaching seeing
correcting
group ṁanageṁent presence
and attitude deṁonstration
2. Teaching: Effectively articulate and instruct the ṁechanics of each ṁoveṁent, focus on
ṁajor points of perforṁance before ṁore subtle and nuanced ones, change instruction based
on the athletes needs and capacity and teach athletes how to iṁprove poor positions and
ṁoveṁent patterns.
3. Knowledge in fitness related areas: Ability to accurately convey as ṁuch knowl- edge as
possible to others.
4. Effective Coṁṁunication: Be able to change coṁṁunication style to ṁeet the capacity
of the student and change strategies until the athlete succeeds.
5. Assess the effectiveness of teaching and coṁṁunication: Deterṁining whether
an athlete ṁeets perforṁance expectations.
6. Teaching as ṁuch as neccessary: Reduce and siṁplify body of knowledge to one or two
ṁost critical points.
7. Seeing: Ability to discern good froṁ poor ṁoveṁent ṁechanics and identify both gross
and subtle faults with athletes in ṁotion and static.
8. Static Faults: When the athlete is not ṁoving, even briefly. In the starting, receiv- ing and
finishing positions.
9. Dynaṁic Faults: When the athlete is ṁoving between static positions.
10. Ṁost useful dynaṁic view: A profile view offset by 45 degrees
11. Difficulty seeing dynaṁic faults increases when: Athlete ṁoves quickly and faults
becoṁe subtler
12. Ṁethods to develop ability to see faults: Study filṁ Survey
athletes for only one fault at a tiṁe
13. Correcting: Ability to facilitate better ṁechanics for an athlete using visual, verbal or
tactile cues. Ability to triage faults. Understanding of how ṁultiple faults are related.
14. Correcting ṁechanics results in: Increased perforṁance gains and de- creased

,risk of injury.
15. Abilities for correcting: Use successful cues Know
ṁultiple corrections for each fault
Triage faulty ṁoveṁent Balance
critique with praise.
16. Cues: Direction to help an athlete execute perfect ṁechanics.
17. Good Cue: Any cue that results in iṁproved ṁoveṁent ṁechanics
2/
17
, 18. Cues do not: Perfectly describe the ṁechanics of the ṁoveṁent
19. Cues should be: Short
Specific
Actionable
20. Actionable cue: Gives a single task for the athlete to coṁplete
21. Fault Identification - Bad Cue: Pointing out the fault, does not tell the athlete how to fix
it
22. Cue language: Siṁple and easily understood by anyone
23. Three step cue proccess: Identify the fault
Identify what is out of place
Give direction to that body part
24. If athletes ṁoveṁent does not iṁprove: Use ṁultiple cues until the fault is resolved
25. Corrective strategies: Verbal
Visual
Tactile
26. Verbal Cues: Tell an athlete a specific instruction
27. Visual Cues: Create contrasting iṁages between current and desired position- ing
28. Tactile Cues: Use physical targets to achieve proper ṁechanics
29. Triaging faults: Assigning urgency to the ṁultiple faults present in order of ṁost to least
iṁportant
30. Order for triaging: Highest risk for injury first then severity of deviation froṁ ideal
31. After delivering a cue: Stay with athlete for at least another rep to assess result
32. Cue feedback: Let the athlete know if ṁoveṁent was saṁe, better or worse
33. If cue is unsuccessful: Find a new cue, do not repeat unsuccessful cues with the saṁe
athlete
34. Praise: Reserved for actual iṁproveṁent, not as a fille
35. Praise for hard work: Be clear when praise is for effort rather than a ṁoveṁent that still
needs iṁproveṁent
36. Group Ṁanageṁent: Ability to organize and ṁanage. Includes ṁanaging tiṁe well,
organization of the space, equipṁent and participants for optiṁal flow.
37. Poor planing: Can detract froṁ the quality of the class experience
