Feedback is a powerful tool for coaches and instructors in the learning process as well as an important tool regarding motor skill development. The aim of the study was to investigate how feedback is used in a crossfit environment, focusing on what types of feedback are used and what the coaches’ approach to feedback is. To achieve this, six crossfit coaches were observed and interviewed. The study found that the frequency of feedback varied greatly between the coaches. The feedback was given both individually and to the whole group, and visual and verbal feedback were often combined. The main purposes of the feedback seemed to be to improve the participants’ performance and to promote a fun environment. The coaches also seemed to believe that it is important to adjust the feedback to the individual participants.
