In this module of the Combat Sport Coach certification program, you will take a detailed look at the specifics of combative arts, stemming from their strictly interpersonal and threat with harm nature, which are uncharacteristic of other sports. Discover how the intrusion level, intensity, and complexity determine the most suitable mental design for excelling at them. You’ll also learn how to evaluate the best fighter-art fit based on explicit measures and how to workaround when the fit is not ideal.
You’ll be guided through the internal processes of a combat sport competition to understand what is happening in your fighters. You will leave this module with deep understanding and an assessment tool for combat athletes.
