The A2 modules of learning provide pupils with the opportunity to develop and extend their knowledge, skills and understanding gained at AS. Enabling pupils to identify factors that lead to the optimisation of their own or others' performance.
The aim of this unit is to progress from looking at the general principles behind the developments of efficient, effective and quality performance in selected activities learnt at AS, to applying them more specifically to ensure the highest quality performance possible.
The unit is split into 3 sections covering physiological, psychological and technical preparation in the short term and long term and how we manage elite performance. The pupils will learn in more detail the ways that physical, biomechanical (not covered in AS) and psychological priorities relate to and impact on each other.

The aim of this unit is to use their knowledge from unit 2 of AS where students have laid the foundation to specialise in one practical performance role and improve performance by undertaking 3 further tasks. Students will construct a development plan to further progress their performance which requires them to plan, research, record, perform, review and evaluate their performance. They will also complete an International Study researching one of the roles in an international context by looking at grass roots participation and elite performance. The final task is a life plan which requires students to research the opportunities for participation at different 'age stages' and how they will seek both continued and alternative sporting participation in a variety of roles.
