● Very well presented and each part is explained effectively

● Explaining each piece independently and then their relationships together is a
really good method

● Explanations of elements related to common understanding, which helps make it

● Breaking down the separate parts of the model in content chunks makes it easy
to follow

● Looking down the camera helps focus the audience
● Paudie's passion for the model really helps

● Very personal approach, putting a very human side to the model
● It's highly motivational

resource that will allow coaches to access and construct knowledge to promote
