The notion of perfect practice is flawed. It was once thought that to achieve perfection that one must practice perfectly. This is not only impossible but also misguided. Mistakes are critical to learning. At one point, every athlete was a beginner. They didn’t start as an expert. They failed numerous times before they succeeded. Further, the reality of performance in most sports and movements is that no play or movement will ever be exactly as it was rehearsed in practice so attempting to train like a robot that never experienced the chaos and variability that are inevitable in the real world. . #athleticlab #iloveal #coachyoungsays #sportsscience #sportperformance #ltad #sport #cary #raleigh #wakecompetitioncenter #carync #raleighnc
