Why would the validity of your training diary entries be questioned if you did not enter them immediately after training?

The thoughts and feelings may not be fresh in your head and you may forget how you truly thought the session went.

You may put in the wrong information about how much weight you lifted and how many reps and sets you did.

Both statements are correct.

3

Should a coach give positive feedback before negative feedback?

Yes

4

How could carrying out a re-test in different conditions from the baseline test lead to invalid comparisons?

If you did the first test with a positive mindset but the re-test with a negative one, it can lead to you being unfairly harsh on yourself in the re-test. This leads to the results not being an accurate overview of your progress.

If you did the first test at home on your own with no distractions but the re-test in a changing room with teammates watching you, it can lead to you not being honest about your progress, as you do not want to get embarrassed by teammates who may judge you.

Both statements are correct.
