1. Advanced Coaching Pedagogy.
Biomechanics and High Performance Sport.
Why?
'Biomechanics'.
'High Performance Sport'.
Biomechanics: 'The study of forces and there effect on living organisms'.
High Performance Sport: In my opinion - Those athletes, coaches and affiliated
adminstrative/exercise practitioners that work to improve the performance of
athletes whilst consistently working to improve their own work. With a focus
upon the needs of the parties involved, aswell as supporting these people with the
best facilities and services that are available.

2. "The Government is committed to ensuring the AIS remains a leader of pioneering
high performance sport research, and elite athlete training and development".
(Australian Sports Commission, 'Support for high performance sport research',

Athletes?

4. "An analysis of the technique deficiences of an athlete can assist the coach or teacher in
identifying the type of training the athlete requires to improve".
