The following videos were selected by the Education Committee to help distinguish between the performance of Excellent, Good, and Basic execution of specific skills. Each judge may not necessarily see all these possible deductions, yet they are listed to improve judges' mastery of differentiating between the excellent, good, and basic skill examples. Skills shown as excellent are not necessarily the epitome of perfection, but rather serve as a current "mind's eye" representation of an execution goal.
