Six criteria for effective training development (Foundations of Effective Training) - ans-•
Teaching
• Seeing
• Correcting
• Group Management
• Presence and Attitude
• Demonstration
The ability to effectively articulate and instruct the mechanics of each movement - ans-
Teaching
The ability to distinguish good from poor movement mechanics and identify both gross
and subtle faults whether the athlete is in motion or static - ans-Seeing
What are the two types of faults - ans-Static and Dynamic
The points at which the athlete is not moving, even briefly - ans-Static
When do static positions usually occur? - ans-near the end ranges of motion, either in
the starting, receiving or finishing position - or when there is a brief pause or decreased
speed due to a change in direction
Why are dynamic faults more difficult to identify - ans-because of the decreased time for
assessment
The difficulty in seeing dynamic faults increases as: - ans-• the athlete moves more
quickly
, • the faults become more subtle
The ability to facilitate better mechanics for an athlete using visual, verbal, and/or tactile
cues. This includes the ability to triage (prioritize) faults in order of importance, which
requires and understanding of how multiple faults are related - ans-Correcting
If capacity is limited in either ________ or ________ a trainer's capacity in correcting
will also be weak - ans-teaching or seeing
Correcting athletes relies on the trainer's ability to: - ans-1. use successful cues
2. know multiple corrections for each fault
3. triage faulty movement
4. balance critique with praise
Basic three-step process for developing short, specific and actionable cues: - ans-1.
identify the fault
2. identify what is out of place
3. give direction to that body part
_____________ cues tell the athlete a specific instruction - ans-verbal
_____________ cues create contrasting images between current and preferred
positioning - ans-visual
____________ cues use physical targets to achieve proper mechanics - ans-tactile
Assigning urgency to the multiple faults present in order of the most to least importance
- ans-triaging faults
The ability to organize and manage, both at a micro level and at the macro level. This
includes managing time well; organizing the space, equipment, and participants for
optimal flow and experience; planning ahead; etc. - ans-Group Management
The ability to create a positive and engaging learning environment, showing empathy for
athletes and creating rapport - ans-Presence and Attitude
A good trainer with consider their athlete's: - ans-• experience level
• technical proficiency
• level of fatigue
• injury status (if known)
Progressive scaling - ans-over scaling a fatigued athletes, which may unintentionally
increase their intensity by now allowing enough rest
Generally speaking, __________ will be the first element the trainer will look to modify
when scaling - ans-intensity
