The second coursework is WRIT1 (Performance Analysis Report) is a report on a practical exercise to develop, use and evaluate an analysis system for an important aspect of performance in a sport of the student?s choosing. The student selects a sport of interest and then an important aspect of performance in the sport. The validity and importance of this aspect of sports performance are justified in the introduction which provides a rationale for the chosen aspect. The aspect of sports performance is operationalised using variables defined by the student. The student develops a manual notation system including necessary data recording form, procedures for operation and data processing methods to produce the required performance variables. The system is then used to analyse a single or several sports performances (depending on the sport). Results are presented with visual impact that would enhance communication of feedback and coaching decisions. The student evaluates the process of using the system, discussing its usability and sources of error. The student also evaluates the resulting performance information, the extent to which performance variables could be performance indicators and the usefulness of the information.
