Success in sport depends upon an athlete’s ability to develop and perfect a specific, and often unique, set of perceptual and motor skills. The so-called 10, 000 hr rule suggests it takes 10 years or 10,000 hours to attain these skills and reach an expert level. In this course, we will apply the critical role of practice and instruction into the learning of skills so we can understand how to coach adults and children towards expertise much faster than 10,000 hrs or 10 years. Throughout the course, we will address the implications of current expertise research on the coaching of instruction, practice, and feedback. We will address contemporary approaches to coaching from both cognitive and non-linear pedagogy frameworks.
Cynnwys cwrs
The course is delivered by a UKCC Level 4 Coach, and talent development scientists working with leading sports organisations (e.g., UK Sport, EIS). Broadly speaking, the course is divided into two parts, in line with contemporary approaches to coaching. The first half of the course will cover cognitive approaches to coaching, and consider how to make demonstrations, instructions and feedback most effective, and how to optimise practice environments using varied practice design. In the second half of the module, we will examine non-linear pedagogy techniques and consider the use of constraints and representative practice design in coaching. Both sections have implications for how information and practice should be structured and organised to bring about effective learning and expertise development. Considerations regarding how task difficulty and expertise level impact on the effective development of expertise will be a central theme to each section.

Students should be able to present an outstanding in-depth critical discussion of the underlying theories and current research related to the learning process. They will demonstrate an in-depth awareness of contemporary coaching techniques (e.g., use of demonstrations, instructions and feedback, constraints, and representative practice design) and how to apply these effectively to enhance learning. In addition, they will be able to clearly explain how the issues/topics discussed are dependent on task, individual and environmental constraints and justify this using theory.
da
Students should be able to present a very good critical discussion of the underlying theories and current research related to the learning process. They will demonstrate a good awareness of contemporary coaching techniques (e.g., use of demonstrations, instructions and feedback, constraints, and representative practice design) and how to apply these effectively to enhance learning. In addition, they will be able to explain how the issues/topics discussed are dependent on task, individual and environmental constraints and justify this using theory.
trothwy
Students should be able to present an adequate or basic understanding of the underlying theories and current research related to the learning process. They will demonstrate a superficial awareness of some contemporary coaching techniques (e.g., use of demonstrations, instructions and feedback, constraints, and representative practice design) and how to apply these to enhance learning. In addition, they will be aware of how the issues/topics discussed are dependent on task, individual and environmental constraints, but perhaps not fully able to support arguments with relevant theory. There may also be occasional inaccuracies and irrelevant content.
