6. SECTION C: APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING TO OPTIMISE PERFORMANCE Following the identification of your weaknesses you will suggest strategies that will lead to an optimisation in performance You identify the KEY CAUSE of the weaknesses (C1) Using knowledge of all aspects of theory content, suggest 1 IMPORTANT THEORETICAL CORRECTIVE MEASURE Need to avoid pure regurgitation of theory from textbooks – must apply it in a relevant manner to access higher marks. Worth 60 marks

7. WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR? 6 different causes/corrective measures overall with at least 1 from AS theory, at least 1 from A2 theory and 4 others

8. THE GOOD….. Excellent for revision (re-takes & A2) Can be completed early Plenty of examples to use Mentored by staff

9. THE BAD…… Although there is a choice of role, being a performer is much easier for the written coursework. Weaknesses, corrective measures and comparison as an official / coach?? Can take a long time
