In this subject, you will analyse both theoretical and practical aspects of a variety of sports and skills, on and off-campus. The off-campus sessions are a series of workshops. In these workshops, you are taught to perform skills, and are introduced to the theory and practice of how to teach skills in a progressive skill learning sequence. In the on-campus sessions, you are introduced to the theory behind sports performance analysis. They then use their understanding of the theory to analyse a sport performance by designing an appropriate notation system to collect relevant data. You will interpret the data collected and provide feedback and strategies on how to improve future performance in the selected sport.
Capstones provide students with a way of integrating and applying knowledge and skills gained throughout their course.
