Movement is a behaviour, influenced by task (e.g. speed, load), personal (e.g. fitness, confidence) and environmental (e.g. group, space) constraints. This certification workshop will provide students with a framework and series of practical tools to improve their movement behaviour (which includes their fundamental movement skills). An opportunity will also be provided for students to observe, coach and provide feedback to their peers.

This workshop involves 3 modules, each touching on multiple factors that will influence physical literacy. Specific learning objectives include:

Module 1 – Physical “Education” (Unstructured vs Structured Activity)

1. Highlight the benefits of unstructured and structured activities
2. Build active environments to develop physical literacy
3. Improve the confidence and competence to move

Module 2 – Movement Variability (Finding New Movement Solutions)

1. Highlight the role of constraints in shaping movement behaviour
2. Learn to use movement variability to your advantage
3. Emphasize the benefits of collaborative and competitive environments

Module 3 – Movement Specificity (Transfer of Training to Sport)

1. Highlight the role of sport specific training and deliberate practice
2. Improving physical literacy to facilitate the transfer of training
3. Emphasize the role of motivation and a growth mindset
