Introduction

Assessment of performance can take place in a variety of environments for a variety of purposes. For example assessment maybe made for individual skills in a closed coaching environment and/or of the analysis of an overall performance in a competitive situation. Assessments of performance can be used to analyse techniques, skills, tactical awareness or fitness levels. A profile of the performer can then be created to include an analysis of their strengths and areas for development.

This module provides knowledge of performance analysis and examples of checklists to use to analyse the technical and tactical skills of an elite performer.
