ah, i understand what you fella's are saying...about somebody's MAS outside of a game or competition is one thing....and how they act while under pressure while in a competition is another thing. That being said though, i think there's a lot of merit to if an athlete's MAS score goes from 6 to 5 for example.
Dave, the STAC level 1 course isn't too bad. The online course i'm doing now involves following an online powerpoint slide show thing, filling out a workbook, sending that into the strength & conditioning association for it to be marked & doing 10 hours of supervised & 20 hours of unsupervised coaching. I had hopes of doing it with Tas AFL...but it doesn't work with my work time table
