They will then analyse this performance and assess their strengths and areas to develop.

Leading sports activities: Students learn about some of the knowledge, understanding and practical skills required to be an effective sport leader. They put their knowledge into practice by planning and delivering safe and effective sporting activity sessions. Afterwards they review their performance.

Applying the principles of personal training: This unit allows the students to explore them as an athlete.
