Prepare a presentation of your case study

Prepare a presentation to explain and justify the following:

• Needs analysis methods selected and used within your case study.

• Assessments selected for the battery completed with your client as part of your case study.

• Performance-related purpose, risks and benefits of the assessments carried out as part of your case study.

• How each phase of the periodised programme will facilitate the achievement of your athlete’s short-, medium- and long-term performance goals.

• How the planned sessions contribute to the achievement of your athlete’s performance goals.

• How all members of the support team can be incorporated into the plans to promote optimisation of the athlete’s performance.

• How you evaluated and modified the plans during the time spent working with the athlete, to include explanations of:

1. Methods used to analyse and evaluate effectiveness.

2. Findings gathered from analyses and evaluations and their effects on the achievement of performance goals.

A reference list must be produced to support this presentation. The reference list must detail all sources of information used throughout your case study to make decisions relating to any aspect of assessment, analysis, planning, or delivery of strength and conditioning programmes.

The presentation should be aimed at the athlete and their support team and must be a minimum of 10 minutes and a maximum of 15 minutes long. You can include supporting information in any format, for example:

• PowerPoint presentation.

• Videos or images.

• Handouts or leaflets.

• Any other supporting information suitable for a professional presentation.

A copy of all records compiled, case study notes and supporting information must be included in your portfolio (level 4 strength and conditioning, Google drive folder).

At the end of your 10-15 minute presentation, your assessor will ask you a number of questions relating to your case study. This is your opportunity to further explain aspects of your case study and presentation that the assessor feels needs clarification or expansion.

Please note: Viva questions will only relate to details you have discussed as part of your presentation, or presented within your supporting documentation.
