The staff of the Physical Education Department wants to know if providing a single 15-minute individual coaching session with an expert bowler will enhance students’ bowling scores. Each participant will bowl one game, during which time the coach will unobtrusively observe his or her bowling style. Then, the coach will provide a 15-minute coaching session. Immediately following the coaching, the student will bowl a second game. One week later, the student will return to bowl a third game. The scores from all three games of each student will be recorded and evaluated to determine the effectiveness of this form of coaching.
