Year 13 students

As day two of the GCSE practicals are going on tomorrow I need you to complete the following pieces of work:
  • Research the Athlete Career and Education Programme (ACE) for Australian athletes
  • Watch this clip - AIS in Canberra - and note any additional information you had not picked up in your previous research.
  • For Australia, East Germany & USA draw up seperate flow diagrams showing the stages an athlete goes through to reach the elite level in each of the countries
  • From that, draw up a discussion piece that compares what has been taken / modified from one country and used in another system.  Has the strategy that was taken been adapted successfully?
So on Thursday you are to bring with you the work I have listed above along with:
  • Overview of the AIS
  • The research you found on the Super Roo bike (I am not expecting this to be a copy and pasted article from a website)
  • The questions I gave you on the USA system.
If you encounter any issues please see me before Thursday

Please do some research on the structure of the AIS, you can find a web link on the right hand side of this page.

Then look into the 'Super Roo bike', research how it was developed in conjunction with the AIS.

I have looked through your training analysis sessions, there is some very good work, some work that needs a bit of improvement and some work that is missing.  If it is missing then it is unacceptable, the deadlines are there to assist you with achieving the best possible mark that you can.  You know what is due in and when it is due in, outlined in the previous document.
The deadlines for next Sunday stand and will be hit by everyone, if people continue to not hit deadlines then it will be a build up of work and the overall quality of the final product will suffer.

The feedback for any work that has been completed is now in your 'support materials' folder in dropbox.

Please find the schedule for hand ins on the document below.
A reminder on the strengths & weaknesses work we spoke about in todays lesson.

Complete a performance profiling wheel (a sample wagon wheel can be found in your shared resources folder in your drop box account).  Complete the outside sections of the wheel for Physiological & Psychological areas that are important for you as a performer in your sport.
Have two finished wheels, one completed by you and the other completed by your coach handed in by lunchtime on Sunday 4th March.

You are then in a position to complete your analysis looking at the different sub groups of Physiological, Psychological, Mechanical & Technical (from your notation & technical work) & Tactical.
