CROSSFIT LEVEL 2 QUESTION
WITH COMPLETE SOLUTION
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
Cues do not - correct answer-Perfectly describe the mechanics of the movement
Cues should be - correct answer-Short
Specific
Actionable
Actionable cue - correct answer-Gives a single task for the athlete to complete
Fault Identification - Bad Cue - correct answer-Pointing out the fault, does not tell the
athlete how to fix it
Cue language - correct answer-Simple and easily understood by anyone
Three step cue proccess - correct answer-Identify the fault
Identify what is out of place
Give direction to that body part
If athletes movement does not improve - correct answer-Use multiple cues until the fault
is resolved
Corrective strategies - correct answer-Verbal
Visual
Tactile
Verbal Cues - correct answer-Tell an athlete a specific instruction
Visual Cues - correct answer-Create contrasting images between current and desired
positioning
