Students will be required to complete 2 pieces of summative assessment:

1. Conduct and evaluate a short coaching practical. The conduct of a short (eg 10 minute) coaching session to a small group will assess LOs 1 & 2.

2. A 1000 word written evaluation of the session will enable students to demonstrate LOs 1 and 3.

Students will be provided with formative assessment and feedback via opportunities to practice observing and analysing coaching sessions from video (in lectures) and during practical sessions.
