Which statement best describes Knowledge of Performance?

• A. It provides only numerical outcomes
• B. It focuses solely on the final score
• C. It compares different outcomes
• D. It describes the movement pattern and quality of the action using cues and information (e.g., visuals, kinesthetic cues)

Answer: (D)

Knowledge of Performance is about how the movement should be performed—the mechanics and quality of the action—delivered through cues and information. In golf coaching, this means guidance on swing shape, tempo, grip, posture, and path, using visuals (like video or mirrors) and felt cues to help you feel and reproduce the correct motion. This focus on the technique and how to execute it is what lets a learner adjust the movement itself, not just the result of the shot. The alternative focuses on the end result or comparisons of outcomes, which is knowledge of results, not knowledge of performance.
