  8. Getting started Point & Click

  9. Trying your best! • It is very important that you try your best • If the classifier thinks you are not trying your best they may ask you to try harder • If you do not understand what you need to do, tell the classifier and your coach

  10. The role of the coach or helper • Your role is to: • Make sure the athlete arrives with the right information e.g. Identification • Help the athlete to understand what the classifier is asking them to do • BUT • You must NOT help the athlete once they are doing the tests for real • You must not intervene at all in the tests, unless requested by the classifier
