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.
