Here's a thought for the next assessment (Autumn 2017) - that the exercises which athletes are expected to perform, are posted up on BMC TV, 6 months ahead of the assessment day (e.g. by May 2017). Performed by say a senior GB Team athlete, with a commentary by an assessor of what they are looking for, and what to avoid. By doing this it would :- - give all athletes a fair chance of training in good time and improve the standard overall - give a level playing field. (There are now three levels : those who were assessed in Autumn 2016, so know the exercises; those who attended but not assessed at the time, so now know the exercises; those who were not assessed and may be in Autumn 2017, so don't know the exercises) - reduce the risk of bias (e.g. coaches who are also assessors could no longer be accused of giving their coachees an unfair advantage) - show the BMC is committed to being transparent (1 step of several it could do).
