This can be completed in many ways

What is the academic thinking around coaching and player development?
What theory/practice is there on reflection?
What are some of the theories around the subject area?
What is the industry view around the selected area?
Academic Thinking
You need to weave academic (and other relevant sources of material) into your written report to support and justify your thoughts and analyse

The grading criteria are set out in the assessment brief that is posted online. Please read it and get in touch if you have any questions.
Top Tips
