Planning Process Overview: Explain the key aspects of your plans for Alex, such as the programme, session plans, and modifications, and how they impacted his journey.

Support and Management of Client’s Journey: This should include:
- Research questions formulated for Alex.

- Sources of information, ensuring credibility, currency, and relevance to Alex’s goals.
- Differentiation between quantitative and qualitative information.
- Presentation of information in a client-friendly manner.
- Impact of information on your professional development and application to future clients.
Technologies Used: Discuss technologies (wearables, apps, etc.) used with Alex, reasons for selection, and how the information provided by these technologies informed your personal training practice.
Evaluation of Methods Used to Interpret and Integrate Data: Assess the effectiveness of these methods, adaptations made, and potential improvements for future benefit.
Evaluation of Your Digital/Social Media Profile: Discuss how your digital presence affected your relationship with Alex and potential improvements for a more positive impact in the future.

Supporting Documentation: Provide accessible versions of all case study notes and supporting information (including reference list) to your assessor, in formats like handouts, digital copies, or printouts.
