Skill Development and Performance edit

The skill development and performance (SDP) outcomes focus on the sporting ability displayed by people, and the progression of this ability.

There are four skill development and performance outcomes:

  • SDP1: Evaluate techniques for skill development used in sport.
  • SDP2: To what extent does the role of coaches affect individual or team behaviour in sport?
  • SDP3: Explain relationships between team cohesion and performance.
  • SDP4: Describe aids and barriers to team cohesion.

Note that any example responses are not necessarily worth full marks, but exist simply to provide an idea of how an example looks.
