• Technical execution — Highly Competent [HC]
Notes: Warm up was dynamic and exercises selected appropriate. Demo was highly skilled and Cody demonstrated the lifts from each angle, front, side, back. Mechanics highly competent
• Load selection — Competent (Pass) [C]
Notes: Used dowels for demonstrating, worked well with beginner group.
• Instructional clarity — Competent (Pass) [C]
Notes: Cues worked well, sort and effective. Slow down a little and let students take in cues before moving to next cue.
• Coaching cues — Competent (Pass) [C]
Notes: Worked well, small and catchy cues such as catch and punch when moving the bar from hips to overhead catch. Elbows high and tuck under for clean catch from hips to clean catch position. Needs to work on explaining the different positions as students have never heard of specific movements.
• Demonstration quality — Highly Competent [HC]
Notes: All angles covered for all demonstrations.
• Observation & feedback — Competent (Pass) [C]
Notes: Positive feedback throughout and observation of all students and from all angles. would like Cody to slow down and possibly demonstrate what lifting a appropriate weight looks alike and how it feels different
• Safety awareness — Highly Competent [HC]
Notes: All students had space, breaks given and was aware of fatigue mental and physical

Exercise 1: Power clean

Exercise 2: Snatch

• Fault identification — Competent (Pass) [C]
Notes: Weight is falling back over head.
• Problem recognition — Competent (Pass) [C]
Notes: Bar falling back over head, Hyper mobile within the shoulders and cant catch over head. Fall or balance risk. Regressed into concentration on the high pull and understanding bar position over head
• Cause analysis — Competent (Pass) [C]
Notes: Bar coming out away from the body to much and swinging over head not pulling through the chest.
• Corrective coaching — Competent (Pass) [C]
Notes: Weight over the middle of the foot, worked on triple extension and not pulling with the upper body to much. Concentrate on triceps and shoulder mobilty.
• Regression / progression — Competent (Pass) [C]
Notes: Client to understand their body position, Cody suggested video client to let them see what they are doing. Broke down the movement again for each phase and what each phase is developing. Gave a clear demo on what the client is doing and showed the correct pattern.
• Safety prioritisation — Developing [D]
Notes: Needs to stop the client sooner.

• Session planning & organisation — Competent (Pass) [C]
Notes: Good logical approach to a group of beginners with good introduction to grip, bar position, stance and what the goal is. Broke down 3 movements of a power snatch. Each component was coached and corrected and developed into the full movement. Well thought-out and flowed well. Good explanation after each phase with answers to students questions
• Professional conduct — Highly Competent [HC]
Notes: Good communication and explanation of the sport and movements. Good cues easy to understand
• Warm-up delivery — Competent (Pass) [C]
Notes: Warm up exercise dynamic and progressive up from raise, activate/mobility and slowly to potentiate. Would like a little more speed at the end and part of full lift
• Technical instruction — Competent (Pass) [C]
Notes: Good on the understanding the group are beginners and went over a basic components to look for, such as grip, feet position and bar position starting in the correct snatch position. 1. " dip and shrug" for hip and shoulder movement 2. "Dip & punch" for getting under the bar over head
• Demonstration quality — Highly Competent [HC]
Notes: Very good ant breaking down each phase of the lift for the scratch. Demonstrated the lift from different angles.
• Observation & feedback — Competent (Pass) [C]
Notes: Walked around the room and observed different levels with individual correction
• Safety management — Highly Competent [HC]
Notes: Moved students within the room to make sure they all have enough space and insured room was free of hazards.
• Session management — Highly Competent [HC]
Notes: Very positive and patient in managing each student, sort effective cues and asked for constant feedback with demonstrations to help visualize transitions

Notes: Answered Questions well and explained in a simple but effective way. Adapted well to different levels of students in the class, challenged the more competent
• Communication & engagement — Competent (Pass) [C]
Notes: Very positive and good engagement, enough correction and pacing
• Cool-down & conclusion — Highly Competent [HC]
Notes: Concentarted on the muscles and joints used with static stretcing and range of motion. Wrists, lower back, Quads, Hips, Calf's.

• Problem analysis — Highly Competent [HC]
Notes: Ankle mobility poor - Using upper body to much - Could not control bar over head. For all scenarios Cody had appropriate corrections and why these happen.
• Evidence-based reasoning — Competent (Pass) [C]
• Professional judgment — Competent (Pass) [C]
Notes: Commutation was good a little fast at times, engaged well wit the class. Possibly could give more specific corrections during class. Good engagement and open to feed back. Over goal of introduction to Olympic lifting.
