Jakes submitted a video for this award, titled How do we define sporting success in PE?
The reviewers noted:
It is good to see the use of video for this submission. A nicely thought through presentation of challenges with Balance is Better and High-performance sport. Clipped video supported observations, and the use of experts provided further evidence and support. This is a good resource would be a useful provocation for students.
