Transfer of Training. Fundamentally Important.
Every coach who plans activities for their team hopes that the effort the players put into the activities will result in improved skills and better performance. For this to occur, the planned activity and how it is carried out must have the potential to change behavior or capabilities in the specific environment, referred to as transfer in the coaching community. Coaches spend significant time working with young athletes on fundamental skills, also known as basic techniques. This investment is made with the belief that mastering these movements will help the player perform better in more complex situations. Is this belief accurate in reality? I welcome your thoughts, discussions, and experiences on this topic.
