BTEC National Sport — The Student's Practical Guide
Richard Burley, Ernst Schute, Barry Ryan

At last a truly practical approach to learning the four core units of
BTEC National Sport!

While sport is now accepted as an academic area of study, it remains a practical subject and many students will prefer to learn in an active “hands-on” manner. This book will enable students to complete exercises and tasks that will support their lectures and understanding of the key principles involved in the four core units of the BTEC National Sport programme for the Award, Certificate and Diploma levels.

This publication will motivate students by making even onerous parts of the course more interesting with practical exercises to guide them through the specification.

Throughout the book students will have the opportunity to reflect on the knowledge they have developed. There are formal activities with specific instructions and exercises that can be customised to meet individual or group circumstances and requirements. Most importantly students will be able to work independently, in a group or with support from their lecturing team.

• 240 pages of in depth coverage of the four core units; Sport in Society, The Reflective Practitioner, Ethics and Values in Sport, Health and Safety in Sport.
