Common misconception

Memorising and writing the definitions from the textbook earns marks.

Marks are only awarded for applying your knowledge to explain the implications of fitness, skill and tactical decision making on performance. With only 14 hours to complete the coursework, it is essential to focus time on application of knowledge.
