Performers need guidance to acquire and improve their skills. Visual, verbal, manual and mechanical guidance are used in different situations and to support performers in a range of different ways.

Manual guidance

Manual guidance is when a performer is physically guided or supported by the coach. For example, manual guidance is provided when a coach guides an athlete's arm to mimic a javelin throw or when a coach supports a gymnast to do a backflip.

Manual guidance is provided during practice rather than performance.

Coaches should always explain to performers when, how and why they need to provide manual guidance. Performers may choose not to receive manual guidance if it makes them feel uncomfortable.

The governing body of each sport provides guidelines on when and what type of manual guidance is appropriate.
