Strengths and weaknesses A low grade is achieved by students who simply named/listed their strengths/weaknesses and gave basic description. Need to analyse. Eg exactly what is it that makes you have good speed (thinking about muscles and technique) and how does this have a positive effect on your performance in a match situation?

Identify one weakness for improvement Name ONE weakness only and clearly explain why this has such a significant effect on your performance. Always choose a component of fitness (rather than a skill) as this makes the next sections far easier.

Corrective measures What will you do to improve this weakness and how will you do it? Think of which method of training (e.g. continuous, interval) is most suitable and why. Look at principles of training, FITT. How will you use these to ensure progress and improvement is made? Include distances and times and over what duration you will do it. Expected benefits as a result of this? Don't be vague or choose unusual methods.

Measuring success How will you know if it's worked? Look at fitness tests (specific to the component of fitness which you are focussing on) and maybe video analysis of performance.
