Questions & Answers.
Foundations of Effective Training ~CORRECT ANSWER~
Teaching
seeing
correcting
group management
presence and attitude
demonstration
Teaching ~CORRECT 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.
Knowledge in fitness related areas ~CORRECT ANSWER~Ability to
accurately convey as much knowledge as possible to others.
Effective Communication ~CORRECT ANSWER~Be able to change
communication style to meet the capacity of the student and change
strategies until the athlete succeeds.
,Assess the effectiveness of teaching and communication ~CORRECT
ANSWER~Determining whether an athlete meets performance
expectations.
Teaching as much as neccessary ~CORRECT ANSWER~Reduce and
simplify body of knowledge to one or two most critical points.
Seeing ~CORRECT ANSWER~Ability to discern good from poor
movement mechanics and identify both gross and subtle faults with
athletes in motion and static.
Static Faults ~CORRECT ANSWER~When the athlete is not moving, even
briefly. In the starting, receiving and finishing positions.
Dynamic Faults ~CORRECT ANSWER~When the athlete is moving
between static positions.
Most useful dynamic view ~CORRECT ANSWER~A profile view offset by
45 degrees
Difficulty seeing dynamic faults increases when ~CORRECT
ANSWER~Athlete moves quickly and faults become subtler
, Methods to develop ability to see faults ~CORRECT ANSWER~Study film
Survey athletes for only one fault at a time
Correcting ~CORRECT ANSWER~Ability to facilitate better mechanics for
an athlete using visual, verbal or tactile cues. Ability to triage faults.
Understanding of how multiple faults are related.
Correcting mechanics results in ~CORRECT ANSWER~Increased
performance gains and decreased risk of injury.
Abilities for correcting ~CORRECT ANSWER~Use successful cues
Know multiple corrections for each fault
Triage faulty movement
Balance critique with praise.
Cues ~CORRECT ANSWER~Direction to help an athlete execute perfect
mechanics.
Good Cue ~CORRECT ANSWER~Any cue that results in improved
movement mechanics
