Full Answer

C.A coach moving a golfer's feet into the correct position to swing a club✓ Correct

The correct answer is C. Manual guidance involves physical contact to direct a performer through a movement.

Guidance in skill acquisition refers to methods used by a coach to help a learner. Manual guidance involves the coach physically manipulating the performer's body to guide them through the correct movement pattern. This gives the performer the kinaesthetic feel of the correct technique. It is particularly useful for beginners or when the skill is dangerous.

Common mistakes

Confusing manual guidance with visual guidance. A demonstration (visual) is often used alongside manual guidance, but the manual part specifically refers to the physical contact.
