Game Sense: The Constraints Approach is the first of its kind on the app store. Previously apps oriented toward this form of practice have been designed in a manner that made it hard for people to implement its philosophies with ease. No previous app delivers professional development in a way that incorporates conversational language to ensure you as the reader can easily understand. To further the potential of the reader there has been audio and visual representations embedded to accommodate the different learning preferences.

Within this application, not only will you receive a comprehensive resource bank covering 15 sports, you will also receive a comprehensive professional development section. Previous apps have provided game ideas that can be manipulated to suit various sports, however havent explained how. This app will not only provide already modified game templates to suit the specific sport you are after, it will also provide variations and rules to ensure you can get plenty of use out of one single activity.

No longer will you need to spend time manipulating games to make them appropriate to your sporting context. This is already done for you!

To further reduce the burden placed on the user and assist with instant implementation is the use of interactive diagrammatic representations of all of the activities provided within the electronic resource. These diagrams unlike others provided in previous apps will allow you to listen to a voice-over explaining the task in detail, whilst also being able to rewind and fast forward at your own leisure.

Why Game Sense:
It is a scientifically backed teaching/coaching practice that has shown unquestionable evidence in regards to boosting overall student experiences and skill acquisition in sport. Through adopting a Game Sense approach you are simulating a modified performance environment, allowing students to develop specific skills and strategies that can be easily transferred into gameplay. For too long students have been drilled and drilled with minimal transfer into their games.

It is due to the edge that Game Sense provides that sporting organisations such as Football Federation Australia, Cricket Australia, Australian Football League and the National Rugby League have all shifted their practices toward this approach.

It is the way of the future, dont be left behind!

"The perfect application for any teacher/coach looking to implement high quality lessons/sessions whereby students are the main focus of the process"
