This course further develops the practical and theoretical skills of performance analysis learned in previous related courses. Students will learn about psychological and physiological aspects of performance analysis. Modelling of performance and performance forecasting techniques will be introduced and critically analysed. Interpreting big data will be discussed as well as profiling individuals and teams over the duration of a season and beyond. Best practices from New Zealand and international teams will be critically discussed along with the latest research.

2.  Comprehend and implement the process around how to critically research literature on advanced applied performance analysis topics, including carrying out real-world analysis over a series of matches and presenting practical findings in a poster format;
3.  Critically self-reflect on performance analysis methods used in games and over the durationof a season in the course including engagement with real-world regional, national and global sport performance analysis contexts;
4.  Effectively communicate and present tactical, effectiveness and decision-making analysis of a team or individual using a series of matches in interactive and innovative ways;
5.  Calculate probabilities and understand reliability and dynamic systems;
6.  Understand emerging technological advancements and how they can be implemented in performance analysis;
7.  Examine psychological factors that affect performance and how to use them effectively with performance analysis processes.

Attendance

Due to the carefully planned learning progressions within courses and the workshop type nature of most on-campus classes, all on-campus students are expected to attend all sessions. Distance students should watch recorded sessions, and interact with other material provided by their lecturer shortly after it is made available through LEARN or other methods. This will ensure that you do not miss vital information which will allow you to make sense of the course content. If you are going to miss on-campus classes you are expected to email the course lecturer, catch up on missed work through classmates, view recordings, readings and other supplementary material provided.  In special cases, the course lecturer may provide additional support for you.

Evaluation

Students will be asked to complete course evaluations, and will have the opportunity to provide feedback during their courses. Surveys are conducted electronically and are confidential. The College of Education, Health and Human Development will conduct regular graduate surveys.

Grade moderation

All course assessments in the Bachelor of Sport Coaching are internally moderated.  A sample of your work may be used as part of this moderation process. Regular examiners meetings monitor the distribution of final grades in courses and adjustments are made if necessary to ensure reasonable consistency and comparability of course grades.

Late submission of work

An assessment is late if it is handed in after the due date, without a formal extension.  If an assessment is submitted after the due date, 5% will be deducted from the final grade for every day the assessment is late.  No assessments will be accepted after a period of 3 days after the due date, unless an extension has been granted.
