Multi Skills
Multi Skills
The multi skills approach goes hand in hand with the model based on the work of Istvan Balyi producing a long term approach to maximising individual potential and involvement in sport.
By working with participants from a very young age and feeding them skills and competencies over a series of age appropriate stages:
- Early Years
- Fundamentals of Movement - ABCs
- Fundamental Movement Skills
- Fundamental Sports Skills
- Sports Specific Skills
They are more likely to achieve success in sport, while developing social skills and building self esteem and confidence. This training model has also shown improved academic achievement.
The participants and the coach will work together over a period of time to achieve success in a chosen sport or physical activity at any level from grassroots to the peak of elite performance and includes other elements such as posture and healthy eating across all the Key Stages.

We first started working with Gordon and ‘Know The Game’ coaching in 2013. It’s safe to say that 5 years on Gordon has revolutionised the way we deliver Physical Education across the Academy. Gordon’s wealth of experience and expertise have provided our students with an inclusive and diverse sporting curriculum allowing students of all abilities to progress their skill sets and enjoy accessing PE and Sports. Gordon’s knowledge of Multi-Skills has allowed students to overcome physical learning barriers as well as progressing gifted and talented students to the next level. We look forward to providing healthy and active futures for all of our students alongside Gordon and ‘Know The Game’ Coaching.

As a young coach it was quite daunting at times to know how to provide sessions to suit all of the children’s needs and how best to prepare them for an active future. With mentoring from Gordon at ‘Know The Game’ Coaching I have been able to gain expert knowledge and insight into delivering Physical Education, from coaching fundamentals to providing bespoke learning interventions for students who have hit a learning barrier. Sharing in Gordon’s wealth of experience makes me feel like I’ve been coaching for years myself and his calm demeanour makes him easy to approach to ask questions and gain further insight into his teaching methods. I am looking forward to an exciting professional career thanks to the best possible start from Gordon at ‘Know The Game’ Coaching.

Generally, physical literacy describes children’s ability in the full range of Fundamentals of Movement and Fundamental Movement Skills that are the building blocks for the acquisition and development of more specific sport and life skills. In the context of LTAD, physical literacy also implies mastery of Fundamental Sports Skills.
