Personal Best Spelling software on CD ROM

Our software is tested to ensure that your copy on CD ROM is functioning properly before it is mailed to you. For this reason, there are few reported problems with the software.

However, if the software on the CD ROM appears to be faulty when you receive it, contact us immediately by email with a description of the problem and we will try to resolve the issue. Most problems spring from an unsuitable choice of screen driver and are usually quickly resolved.

If we decide that a solution is not possible, we will ask you to return the faulty CD ROM to us in good order and on receipt we will immediately issue a replacement. The purchaser is responsible for all freight and packaging costs involved in returning the software.

Please note that once the program is installed and then registered, no refund can be given. To avoid disappointment, before you purchase the software you should discover how it works and what it does. There are two ways of getting this information:

1. Go to this link where you will find a detailed description of each step of the program, along with an explanation of how it works: http://www.spellingzone.com/spellingzone/preview1.html

2. If you still want more information, download and install the free trial version, and test drive it to see if it meets all your needs.

Remember, refunds are only possible before you have registered the software. So, we strongly recommend that you test our software before purchasing, to avoid disappointment. Once we have sent you your registration number, no refund can be given.

Training courses on CD ROM

All our CD ROM courses are tested to ensure that your copy is functioning properly before it is mailed to you. For this reason, there are few reported problems with our CDs.

However, if the CD ROM appears to be faulty when you receive it, contact us immediately by email with a description of the problem, and we will try to resolve the issue.

If we decide that a solution is not possible, we will ask you to return the faulty CD ROM to us in good order and on receipt we will immediately issue a replacement. The purchaser is responsible for all freight and packaging costs involved in returning the software.

No refund can be given on the purchase of CD ROM courses, as their informative and total value has been transferred to you, the purchaser, and cannot be reversed.

To avoid disappointment, before you purchase carefully study all the information on our site that describes the Old Way New Way^® learning method, its applications, and the course(s) you intend to purchase.

 

Duration and expiry of online courses

Purchasers of online courses are entitled to full support for course completion for a period of three months from the date their course commences. Course commencement occurs on the date when the purchaser is sent an email message stating that their course has commenced.

Three months is normally sufficient for course completion, based on past experience over a number of years. Purchasers of online courses are not automatically entitled to support for course completion beyond the three month period.

Support for course completion beyond this three month period may be granted if satisfactory reasons are supplied by the purchaser to justify an extension of time. However, an extension of time beyond the three months should not be considered the normal expectation. The decision as to whether support for course completion will be provided beyond the three months period, or not, remains solely with Personal Best Academy, whose decision is final.

In other words, when you enrol in our online course you do so with the realisation that it has to be completed within three months. After that period of time you may find that you are on your own.

Improving too slowly?

Sports coaches and players try to get it right the first time but invariably end up spending a lot of time trying to correct technique faults and bad habits that somehow develop.

Once established, habit pattern errors like technique faults are notoriously hard to correct because they actually disable learning of correct technique and slow down or completely block improvement. This makes an athlete uncompetitive and can lead to a career-threatening performance slump.

The typical advice to practice skill drills and train hard is usually not very effective. The athlete may appear to improve during training but repeatedly falls back to old ways under pressure of competition.

Transfer of training from skills coaching sessions and practice drills to competition is consequently poor.

Transition training, required when the athlete has to change over to a new code, new equipment, new techniques or new rules, presents similar adjustment difficulties. Old habits die hard.

Fortunately, a coaching science discovery called Old Way New Way^® Sports Coaching offers:

1. A new perspective on the transfer of training problem.

2. A cost-effective and user-friendly method for rapid skill and technique correction, and habit correction.

3. A fast and practical method of sports transition training.

This page explains how established and habitual technique faults can interfere with skill development and learning of correct technique.
