Do you know how your personality traits affect the quality of your performance and strategies you could employ to ensure you are performing at your peak?

Unit 2: Psychological Factors Affecting Performance. This unit explores a variety of models and theories that affect learning and performance in physical activities. You will learn how to provide guidance and feedback in constructive ways that are suited to an individual’s personality. Unit 3: Socio-cultural Issues in Physical Activity and Sport.

It includes the emergence and evolution of modern sport, the impact of the modern Olympic Games and the impact of ever-evolving modern technology. Unit 4: Practical Performances.

Unit 5: Evaluating and Analysing Performance for Improvement.
