| All - Assessment Task 1:Athlete Support Audit Presentation | |||||||||||||||||||
| Goal: | In this task, you will apply your understanding of high-performance sport systems and foundational sport science principles to evaluate the support structures surrounding a hypothetical elite athlete or team. You will conduct an audit of the physiological, psychological, and operational services that contribute to athlete performance and wellbeing, identify areas of strength and concern, and present a strategic summary of your findings. This task develops your ability to integrate theory into applied performance management contexts. |

| Goal: | In this task, you will apply performance management strategies and ethical decision-making to develop a strategic response plan for your hypothetical athlete or team based on the findings of your support audit (Task 1). You will simulate a critical turning point in the athlete’s high-performance journey (e.g. injury, burnout, sudden media attention, performance plateau), and propose an integrated plan that supports performance, wellbeing, and career sustainability. |

Academic integrity is the ethical standard of university participation. It ensures that students graduate as a result of proving they are competent in their discipline. This is integral in maintaining the value of academic qualifications. Each industry has expectations and standards of the skills and knowledge within that discipline and these are reflected in assessment.
Academic integrity means that you do not engage in any activity that is considered to be academic fraud; including plagiarism, collusion or outsourcing any part of any assessment item to any other person. You are expected to be honest and ethical by completing all work yourself and indicating in your work which ideas and information were developed by you and which were taken from others. You cannot provide your assessment work to others. You are also expected to provide evidence of wide and critical reading, usually by using appropriate academic references.
In order to minimise incidents of academic fraud, this course may require that some of its assessment tasks, when submitted to Canvas, are electronically checked through Turnitin. This software allows for text comparisons to be made between your submitted assessment item and all other work to which Turnitin has access.
Eligibility for Supplementary Assessment
Your eligibility for supplementary assessment in a course is dependent of the following conditions applying:
(a) The final mark is in the percentage range 47% to 49.4%; and
(b) The course is graded using the Standard Grading scale

(c) Three days: deduct 20%;
(d) Four days: deduct 40%;
(e) Five days: deduct 60%;
(f) Six days: deduct 80%;
(g) Seven days: A result of zero is awarded for the assessment task.
The following penalties will apply for a late submission for an online examination:
